Episode III

[ssurgul]

Unfortunate.

Disappointingly overly dramatic.

Much nicer effects.

Very nice Clone warrior shots.

Very, VERY hot Stormtrooper in the lobby.

Overall a solid 1.5 of 4 stars.

Ultimately, only the last 10 minutes are really needed; the rest of the plot 'twists' were so utterly, painfully, obnoxiously obvious from Episode I forward that they don't bare repeating that heavy-handedly.  The first three relied more on a more realistic dramatic interaction.  This was forced through the Lucas cheese-grater from minute 1.

If this flick was Episode 2, and the weaker flick of the 3, then this would have been great.

But noooooooo, was not be be it was. ;)

*laughs!* Precisely what I'd said. If he was SOOOOOOOOOOOO gung ho on retelling all the damn movies, then this one SHOULD have been Ep 2. And Ep 1 never need have scarred my brain at all.

Ah well. At least there were lots of Clone trooper bits of CGI running around, enticing me with their dehumanized visages. :)
