Special Effects Glut!

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2005)

In Episode III, the last of the Star War saga, George Lucas used all the special effects he could dream of. And, they are awesome -- it's just that there are so many they overwhelm you.
Lucas could have spent more time on the plot and further character development and less action and war sequences. I wish he would have developed even further all that was going through Anikin Skywalker's mind and his relationship with Padme and Obi-Wan Kenobi as he succumbed to the lure of the dark side.
The one inconsistency in my mind was the final light saber duel between Obi-Wan and Anikan -- how was Obi-Wan able to win when Anikan earlier had killed the Sith in Episode II that Obi-Wan was defeated by?
Overall, it was really good, and provided a great transition between this 2nd generation Star Wars and the original!!
