The Best Of The Newer Trilogy But It Lacks In Content

Rating: 8/10 (9 May 2008)

By Far, this was the most intense of the three films. The second one could have been great had there been more duels and a bit more dark to it. The Dueling scene was nice and long, though, I didn't care so much about the platform Metroid /Mario video game-like platform jumping sequences mixed in. I would have much rather it was much more simplified (as it had started out).
Story-wise, I wished there a little bit more history laid out for us, since, it was likely to be the last Star Wars movie (for awhile anyway). I would have love to have seen some flashback scenes that helped to aid the story about Plagueis. Also, I think some "actual" footage of Anakin's later involvement at the Jedi Temple, would have been a great way to establish the evil that had become. The innocence of the youth at the temple, mingled in with Anakins rage...it would have been a very dark representation of just how deeply rooted his agony was. Of course, they could have left the footage containing the little tokes at the academy the way it was, in order to keep that part of it "not so graphic" but the older apprentices /padawans involvement at trying to hold the temple, would have been a very much needed component to show...instead, they just show fragments through means of security footage (ridiculous).
