Darth Vader is here, finally.

Rating: 5/10 (20 May 2005)

Overall, the movie was boring. The special effects are amazing, the scenes of planets and war are pretty; but the story, the dialog, the light-saber battles, and even the acting were flat. The ending is made intense by the grotesqueness of the final battle between Obi Wan and Anakin. And, of course, the "birth" of the suited Darth Vader is something that will make the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. Those few minutes make Episode III somewhat satisfying. Other than that, the movie could stand to be much shorter. It relies too heavily on CGI and beautifully rendered land and cityscapes. The story is not in any way complex and most charactersbesides those already established in the original trilogyare not very developed. The dialog is far from exciting, everyone seems to resort to "one-liners." The final conclusion is, this last installment fits perfectly with Episodes I and II, but it is very far away from the brilliance of the original trilogy.
