Aren't you a George Lazenby fan

I agree with Smeags on almost everything once again.

"Battle of the Heroes" is freaking awesome.

Count Dooku is killed in the first 15 minutes. Seriously?

I don't remember anything about a lizard though.

I give it an 8/10. Lots of great moments, but writing and acting on the whole are still worse than the original trilogy. Mustafar sequence in particular is great. Didn't really have too many issues with Grievous.

6 / 10 - which is generous, but the action sequences were okay and at least there was finally some attempt to explain how Anakin ends up as Vadar.  Plus, the final duel - well, until it became apart Lucas had no idea how to effectively end it - at least captured a bit of the emotion and resonance of the duel in Empire (although it still lags miles behind that).

Good stuff - some sort of arc for Anakin, Palpatine / Yoda showdown, some decent action, very cool birth of Vader scene - until he talks that is, more on that later

Cons - sheesh the same of prequel trilogy issues - terrible script, good actors struggling with the script, weak plotting that feels hemmed in by the presence of the OT and the events it established, awful resolution to Obi Wan / Anakin duel, awful solution to getting rid of Padme, Vader speaks!  And it is not good.  Again, the Jedi are just idiots, but at least this time they are idiots paying for their idiocy so I guess that's something.

Note I've been a bit kinder on Clones/Sith than they may critically deserve, simply because at times both, moreso Sith, for a moment show a flutter of what could have been - indeed should have been.

But in the end I think of the prequels as a huge failure.  Lucas knew what had to happen in general outline, the lines of fate for all the characters had been set in the OT, and he simply failed as a writer when it came to the details of the events and how they came to be in delivering anything remotely worthy of the series high of Empire.

The prequels are very bad to terribly average films, and following a trilogy that counts two classics and a decent finale that's pretty awful going.

8.5/10

I really enjoyed the film,some of the scenes like the opening one in particular really stand out....

Some of the acting wasnt great and the obi wan/anakin battle was too long but it was an emotional experience,especially the order 66.

For me the biggest mistake was not having the "darth vader rising part" as the end...for me that would have blown my mind...

Honestly if they'd removed the 'NOOOO' bit, then the ending as an entirety would have been great. The ending scenes of Darth Vader rising and of the Emperor and him gazing on the Death Star were the only bits of the movie that really felt like they were made by the same person who made Ep V.
