Disappointing

Rating: 4/10 (15 January 2006)

My rating: 4, simply for the SFX.
By my own admission I am no dedicated Star Wars fan, but I've watched a couple of the films previously and was able to enjoy them for the imaginative element, the effects, the plots, the characters - everything you'd want from a good movie. However, I did not find the same in Episode III: Revenge of The Sith.
Particularly in the first twenty minutes or so of the film, the dialogue was poor and woodenly delivered. To start with, the plot seemed to have no sense of purpose or direction other than to show Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting side by side, but there was little sense of real companionship between them.
As the film progressed, it was clear that only real element of interest was going to be *how* Anakin transformed into Darth Vader, but the emotions between himself and other characters came across very superficial.
I thought this film had great potential, had better use of the tensions between characters been made, and their relationships developed a bit further. There were also seemingly endless shots of people parking and taking off in spaceships.
Other than the SFX, this film was poor.
