The Best Of The Worst !

Rating: 6/10 (25 April 2008)

It's the best because, compared to the previous 2 prequels, there were things that made the movie suitable for a second viewing, like: a good opening sequence consisted of half hour of powerful action, good climactic sequence which was another half hour of powerful action, the music of (John Williams) especially "The Battle of The Heroes", the final 2 parallel sword duels; that was great, (Yoda) as a perfect CGI this time; thanks to the talents behind it, how all the CGI wasn't that trite, some real creative backgrounds, and the clever dramatic meaning about the end of democracy and how the dictator could rule; which made me ask: did (George Lucas) refer to American contemporary issues at the time through (Star Wars)?!, and the smartness of pulling down the parliament by one savage power that wants to destroy freedom along with everyone and everything, but itself.
However, it's not one of the best movies as well: just remember the great performance of (Hayden Christensen), and the greater performance of (Ian McDiarmid). In fact, in very few times in my life, I watched acting as astoundingly bad as THIS! (McDiarmid) in the scene of his deformity presented a clear example for all the students of acting all over the world as the ideal "Don't do this at home", in one word; this scene in particular was the ugliest point of the whole new trilogy and the ugliest performance I've ever seen in recent American movies too. Moreover, the stupidity of (Anakin Skywalker)'s transformation; (Lucas), as a writer, made him decide to go to the dark side in a way easier than anybody deciding to eat burger or sausage. Even the transformation into vegetarian could have been more confusing and daring move than the one we watched!
Although (George Lucas) was much sane and dexterous as a director here, but as some kind of a fan of the old trilogy myself, I began to think that (Lucas) went to the dark side of the Force when he decided to make those 3 prequels which I can't imagine that there is one human being that can love or stand them all.. At all!
