The Best of the Worst in the Star Wars Saga

Rating: 4/10 (25 December 2015)

The first Star Wars movie in the prequel trilogy that actually feels like a Star Wars movie, only in look, but not in tone . This movie still has bland acting, dull characters and story flaws. The long lightsaber fight at the end seems more like a 20 minute dance off than an actual fighting scene with characters we are (supposed to be) emotionally invested in. The story seems rushed, especially Anakin's turning to the darkside. I find it hard to believe that the thought of losing Padme was enough to get Anakin to go on a murderous rampage and start killing children. The fact that no one can see that Palpatine is the master of all the evil in this movie is jarring and it makes all the characters seem stupid, but this is due to very bad writing on Lucas' part.
