Horrible acting, even by some of the great actors in this film. A shit stain on star wars.

The meat and potatoes of the prequel trilogy and, thankfully, somewhat of a return to the quality that fans expected. Seems like Lucas should have focused more on the dark aspects of these films as the atmosphere here is similar to 'Empire.' Still, obvious room for improvement in dialogue and Hayden acts like a baby instead of the badass that Vader is supposed to be. Thankfully Ewan McGregor performs admirably and reaches out to the audience with the only honest emotional prequel performance.

Still a good prequel, if you can call it that, but man, just so stupid.

CGI is pretty nice but the dialog is mind-bendingly bad. George Lucas should never, ever write dialog. There is no way to make the dialog work. Honestly if Samuel L. Jackson and Ewan McGregor can't make it watchable then no one can. There are a few good scenes in the movies (about two or three) but most of it is just laughably bad. In the case of Hayden's becoming Darth Vader "NOOOOOOOOOOO!" it's tear inducing laughably bad. Another swing and a miss for George. Strike out.

Terrible movie. Best thing about it was walking from the theater thinking, "Thank God it is over."
