Incredible Special Effects, Golden Turkey Acting

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 2005)

Once again George Lucas has made an incredibly stunning movie with great special effects and fight scenes. Why oh why can't he write a script? Hayden Christensen really should never be given another major movie ever again. Time after time he looked like he had just read the script of the scene before the final scene was shot. I know Natalie Portman and Ewan McGregor are gifted actors with numerous credits in there career, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is the last we will ever hear of Hayden Christensen until the Golden Turkey awards are handed out next Winter. Still this is a very good movie if you want to see great special effects, this is what George Lucas will be famous for 50 years from now. The story is dictated by the previous 5 movies, so "predictability" is something every Star Wars expert can expect. Still it would have been nice to have a twist on the story, something the old Star Wars always brought in. Maybe seeing Liam Nieson appear next to Yoda at the end would have been nice.
