Bang, you thought it was all good didn't ya?

Rating: 2/10 (5 April 2006)

When I first saw this movie I thought Lucas had made up for past mistakes on Ep I and II. After seeing it again, and a few more times, I can say that I feel he has made a movie worse then the others.
Again Lucas' focus on CG is disgusting. Nothing is real, and it feels that way. It is a fake screen and the actors are not interacting with any reality at all, and therefore seem to fall short of their abilities (for those who have them). Add to this the cheap make up for Palpatine after he fries himself with the lightning. Yoda still looks dumb as well.
Hayden Christensen has been a bad choice, IMO, since the beginning. He whines real well but he strikes no fear at all. Anakin goes from a whiny kid wanting to protect the Jedi who go to arrest Papetine, to a Sith in less then five minutes. When did this happen? Where is the growth and the motivation? We get one image of him fearing the death of Padme, but there is no connection between this and his loss of his mothers. He does not grow into doing anything to protect Padme. Anakin just suddenly says, "You know what, this Jedi thing sucks. Lets go dark." He then goes and slaughters children. What the heck happened here? Did I miss the actual third movie and this is three and a half? Vader was the complete bad guy. He struck fear into ya the moment he came onto the screen. He didn't make me chuckle when he fell to his knees in a cheap scream when he finds out his girl bit it. Show some real evil come on!!
Padme is reduced to a birthing machine making her death and naming of the kids useless. It has no feeling and makes you wish they would just take the kids and ditch the scene.
Yoda confuses the crap out of us when he tells Obi that he is talking to Qui-Gon. Wait, didn't he die? Can you please exp.... OK never mind. If you want to know what he is talking about please go purchase the official novel for a mere $40.
Jedi are apparently really stupid and weak according to this movie as well. The troopers are so sneaky and able to hide their little full helmet nods and the raising of their really bulky weapons and wipe out basically the entire Jedi order. These are not the Jedi we saw in the first movie that is for sure. They can protect my toilet for as good as they are.
Lots of bells and whistles for this film with no melody at all. I hope this is the end of all SW stuff cause Lucas is going no where fast with it.
