Visual 5/5
If I just remember my 10 year-old me watching the first scene with the fight over Corruscant and the amazing spacebattles with my mouth widely open for 10 min straight i just have to give this 5 points. You just didnt saw anything like this before and it was truly amazing. And the sabre to sabre action in this episode is by far the best in all of Star Wars.
Sound 4/5
What bugs me in the sounddesign is not the Soundtrack which is truly amazing and really adds to the emotions of scenes like the execution of Order 66. Its rather the extremely fake sounding environmental sound like where you cant here noise from the streets of Coruscant when the window is shattert by Sidious. Adding to this is a bad choice in dialouge lines in my opinion, e.g. Obi-Wan always seemed like a ignorant douchbag througout the first two thirds of the movie which doesnt really fit his character.
Story 3/5
While the ending is absolutley awesome and pushes the nostalgia button pretty hard the first part isnt really something worth watching. Apart from the absolutly cringy romance between Padme and Anakin it also feels like the movie wants to tells us that Anakin switched to the dark side because of a bad dream he had about padme and not his total disappointment in the Jedi.
Cast 4/5
Well if you liked the Star Wars cast so far you will still like it here. Hayden Christensen does a good job of playing Anakin while hes falling into the dark side. Ewan McGregor plays an worthy opponent and shocked master of Anakin and they managed not to add a nother Jar Jar or Rose. But still there are things left desired and i dont feel like the script is getting the best out of those really good actors for the most part.
Nostalgia 5/5
Nostalgia is pretty high with all early Star Wars movies so my ratings should be taken with a grain of salt.
