The best of the prequels

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2012)

After a really bad Phantom Menace and a slightly above average Attack of the Clones, George Lucas finally got it right with Episode III as far as the prequels go. The first time movies were basically setup and here was the payoff. You finally got to see the epic matchup between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. You finally got to see Chancellor Palpatine become the Emperor. They were able to tie up the loose ends of how Padme died and how Luke and Leia were split up.
A few of the flaws of the movie though can be placed at George Lucas' less then great skill at writing dialogue. It definitely wouldn't have hurt him to bring in someone to clean up some of the bad dialogue in the Anakin and Padme scenes.
