Let me just say writing this is a relief, because I'm able to get Attack Of The Clones out of my head. Is this one any better? Well, there was nowhere to go but up.
This movie's boring. I have very little to say about it. It's probably the best of the prequels, but I'd still rather not watch it again. The acting is still atrocious, although Ewan MacGregor somehow manages to squeeze in a respectable performance despite the dialogue, and Ian McDiarmid is fun, if a bit silly. They hyped the hell out of Darth Vader, but we only got thirty seconds of him. And of those thirty seconds, were they supposed to be funny? Because if not, George Lucas shows even more how incompetent of a director he is, to make such a hilariously bad scene without realizing it. The fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan is okay, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too long, to the point where you stop caring and forget about why they're even fighting.
The digital photography and CGI still bother me, although it's a bit better now. They at least develop it into a unique visual style, and give the movie its own look with a cool colour palette. It still looks absolutely nothing like what I would expect a Star Wars movie to look like, but looks okay on its own.
That's all I got. I know this review is all over the place, but this movie is super forgetful and dull. It really doesn't need anymore to be said. I think I'll do a Star Wars retrospective later on where I'll talk more about the prequels, because I'm done talking about them. This trilogy sucks, and I don't recommend any of them. Now, let's get to the better movies!
