What a waste of time and money

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2005)

Yeah, so the special effects are pretty spectacular, but aside from that, man. God help me, I absolutely adore Ewan McGregor, he is by far my favorite actor, however... his character was so flat in this movie. Obi-Wan practically lacked emotion entirely, as did Padme, Anakin, and the rest of the cast. They looked like they were doing a job they were utterly tired of doing. I will give the casting crew a thumbs up to Anakin. Hayden completely had that sinister look. Too bad the acting didn't match it.
The way the fight scenes were filmed was terrible, the background was so dark coupled with the blinding flash of lightsabers smacking against each other, my eyes were killing me by the end.
Do I even want to get into the story line? Not really. I've been disappointed in the writing since Episode 1, and the disappointment continues. It's too bad. I actually had high expectations for this movie.
