umm....

Rating: 4/10 (21 December 2005)

I've never been much of a star wars fan, but I had the usual love of the original series as a child. The first two prequels were embarrassing at best, and this last one wasn't much better. Lucas spends far too much time on special effects and imagery and too little time on dialog and story. Haden Christianson's acting is atrocious and painful to watch. Lucas has absolutely no business writing dialog in the first place, but the banter between Anakin and Padme is inexcusable. The way Anakin finally becomes Vader makes no sense whatsoever and was simply a quick way to get from point A to point B. The only reason this didn't get a one is because the effects were cool and I was impressed by the light saber battles.
