| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Worth watching for the first and last 20 minutes |
| As my family will tell you, I didn't enjoy the prequel trilogy all that much. The first two films suffered from underwritten dialogue and insufficient characterisation. Fortunately Episode 3 is a big improvement over the first two prequel films.
Not that that isn't saying much. The first twenty minutes of this film are absolutely stupendously breathtaking. As far as humongous droolworthy space battles for the modern era - this is the one to end them all. Seeing those two Jedi Starfighters flit between these lumbering behemoths and massive explosions is worth the price of admission alone. Another great aspect of this film is the obvious close camraderie between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Great big kudos to George Lucas for FINALLY giving his two stars a chance to shine. There's a lot more fire and passion to Ewan MacGregor's and Hayden Christensen's performances this time around. And the dialogue in those first twenty minutes are as good as anything you'll find in the original trilogy. The film begins to sag towards the middle, despite the inclusion of a great fight sequence between General Grevious and Obi-Wan Kenobi. And then the last 30-40 minutes the pace really picks up - THESE are the moments that George Lucas has been aching to write (and we've been waiting to see) for these past nine years. It really is great to see that origin finally up on screen, and the passion shows - both in the actors performances and in the way those sequences are written. And, as John Williams promised, his music absolutely totally soars here. I was actually moved almost to tears by the ending to this film - and that's quite remarkable considering just how much I really hate these prequel films. And has anyone notice just how nicely the very beginning of Episode 4 ties into the ending of Episode 3? They use "prequel characters" in that intro to tie the two sets of films together. Amazing how he could anticipate that over twenty years ago. So would I recommend seeing this film? Much to my surprise, yes! But only for the first 20 minutes and the last 40 minutes of the film. I think George Lucas and co. have done a much much much better job in this film than in the other prequels. The acting - particularly from the three leads - is much much better than in previous films. The dialogue has that slight spark that made the original trilogy such a joy. And John Williams music - especially right at the end - is really given a chance to soar. And despite the apparently bleak ending, the music (did I mention that already?) along with the visuals give us an incredible sense of hope that all is not lost. |
