So overall, yeah, I actually like this one. The Order 66 sequence for example, even if it is abrupt, is still effective. And yeah, even when scenes are a little forced or underinformed, they can still work. I actually noticed this viewing you can see how Anakin is trying to kill, but Obi-Wan very much plays defensively most of the fight, and little touches like that make it all the more effective. Here, there's so much raw emotion and power between the two and you feel it. The Darth Maul fight was sleek, two opposing sides who knew what they stood for. What makes it so good too is the brutality of it. And the final battle between Anakin and Obi-Wan is still incredible. Did we need an army of Wookies? No, but I still liked it. There's some sequences, like the end with the parallel hospital imagery, that are definitely on the nose in symbolism but they still work. The directing and pacing actually feels a lot better. His dialogue is awful, and he still whines too much, but when he doesn't have to talk and just has to give that Dark Side glare he can actually be a little intimidating. But there are still enough improvements to make it warranted. There's also some things that I know are expanded in the larger universe but here just happen way too fast, like Order 66. The action scenes are kind of forced in, and Anakin's ultimate turn to the dark side happens jarringly fast. There are also major issues with the story as a whole. Here, she's just reduced to a pathetic woman sitting on the sidelines while the boys figure crap out around her. At least in Episode I she was headstrong, and in Episode II she had some action hero in her. Padme in this entry is absolutely useless. Obi-Wan on a giant lizard will never look cool, as much as I really want that series of words to be awesome. While the CGI is way better than Episode I or II, there's a lot of times when it's still awkward and obvious. Don't get me wrong though, it still has serious problems. Rating: PG-13 (Some Intense Images|Sci-Fi Violence)įar and away the best of the prequel trilogy, I actually do just kind of overall enjoy this one in the larger Star Wars pantheon. Asked to spy on the chancellor, and full of bitterness toward the Jedi Council, Anakin embraces the Dark Side. Suspicions are raised within the Jedi Council concerning Chancellor Palpatine, with whom Anakin has formed a bond.
Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) rescue Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) from General Grievous, the commander of the droid armies, but Grievous escapes. It has been three years since the Clone Wars began.
