Awful story Dreadful actors

Rating: 1/10 (3 May 2006)

If it wasn't graphics and the 70's sequels this movie would have registered as one of the biggest blunders
The story line is weak too weak if you ask me.. Sometimes the dialogues are infantile and childish to the point of the extreme. New Comer Hayden Christensen fails to expose that deep inner trauma and doubt which is expected of Anakin Skywalker.
The plot is based on a ridiculous sequence of events (yes I am keeping in mind that this is a sci-fi but there is a limit to how much fiction I can endure) which makes no sense at all...There are numerous examples but I can't mention them without giving away tid bits of the plot
The scriptwriters produced a 2 and a half hour feature but most of it is nonsense and fluff.. This movie should have explained how Anakin reverted to evil and how were his children born thus ushering us smoothly into the events of A New Hope. Instead the movie runs for 2 hours with a lot of CGI grandiose and lavish fighting scenes.
Then in the last 10-20 mins of the film the scriptwriters with an indescribably hasty and blundering fashion pave the way for the events in New hope..
Directionwise it is good for as long as it's computer generated animation isn't surpassed.. The next CGI movie will look a lot better than this one because of better tech.
The actors were a failure
Ewan Mc Gregor managed to wreck his good name with these 3 flicks, he had to stand next to bad actors and that is never good for one who wants to play repertoire and avant garde roles Christensen should revert back whence he came.. Which is supporting actor in a B. movie with Steven Seagal.. An ewok would be more convincing than Christensen
Portman tries to appear in love with Christensen but because of his innate inability to act she comes off as no good as well. As for the others their roles were so minuscule they appear as insignificant
