The one we all have been waiting for....

Rating: 7/10 (8 February 2006)

The third installment of the prequel trilogy, showing Anikins decent into the dark side of the force.
Lucas succeeds in bringing us a visual action packed monster of a film.
Definitely the darkest of the three prequel movies, but really still a kids movie in my book.
What don't i like about this one, takes a moment to think....
OK The dialog, severely lacking once again. An example of this is Ankins dramatic fight with his mentor Obi-Wan. Obi wan screaming at him, but you where the chosen one almost sounded like Mommy I want that toy really bad whaaaa *flood of tears < Que the guy with the eye droper> Also there whole debate over politics in there saber fight *rolls eyes in boredom. In my mind they should have been addressing the real issue, That Obi-Wan and others where so consumed with everything else that they disregarded anikins dreams of his mother dying, which lead to current issues about senator amidala dying. I mean wasn't that why we had that whole scene in attack of the clones, to show ankins problems with dealing with death ? Do we really care about the political BS ? I'm sorry but if your going to the dark side and back it should be over love or something real.
I truly liked the idea of the chicken or the egg ( Anikin dreams of a future where Senator amidala Dies through complications at child birth. *however by the end of the film we learn that the complications where because of her sadness over anikin falling to the dark side* However Anikin goes to the dark side because regular Jedi training cant save her so he chooses the dark side* but if he never chose the dark side, those complications would not have come up, but if.....Well you get the idea.
Obi-Wans battle with the leader of the droid army, after a great chase scene on a giant Iguana rocks ! Why couldn't we have more original stuff like this ???
I also enjoyed Yoda's Stand against the emperor,complete with them hurling the Senate floor hover discs at each other.Sweet!
As i have said, about the previous two films I find these lacking to the original trilogy from an old school fan's point of view. However I also think children or people who never saw the original trilogy will enjoy these more then old school fans which is why i rate them slightly higher then normal. (And when i say old school I mean the NORMAL old school fans ) Not the ones who stood camping the ticket booth days ...no weeks before release..lol
