Moderatly disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (19 May 2005)

Episode III was despite all my hopes, somewhat of a let down, but not as big as Episodes I and II were. While the movie remains very well made and the plot very well written, and even the characters acting their parts exceptionally well, the script lacked dialogue believable of a Star Wars film. To many times we see our heroes and villains saying and making gestures in ways we have never seen them behave before. For example, scenes when Padme explains she is "Pregnant" to Anakin face to face in a mellow dramatic scene to common in everyday movies and television shows. Additionally, the type of back and forth light sarcasm and humor in the beginning between Anakin and Obi Wan are just a few of the many dialogue errors, reminding me of a cheesy comedy film that is better off forgetting.
However, the film has dramatic and incredible special effects, and while slow at first, the last hour is very emotional, and for a fan of Star Wars as I have been since I as 12 years old, it was overall, a fitting end to the Star Wars film saga, even if the characters scripting was below average. Better than Episode I and II, but not better than IV,V, and VI.
