A good movie

At last, Georges Lucas got it right. Indeed, the first two prequels were rather disappointing, especially 'Attack of the Clones' which was by far the lowest point in this franchise in my opinion. Finally, we finally got what we were asking from the very beginning: the dark story of Anakin Skywalker and how he became one of the most feared men in the galaxy, one of the greatest villains in film story, the mighty Darth Vader. So, it was indeed pretty gloomy and so many people got killed but it was much more satisfying that anything that happened in the 2 previous movies. Even the political intrigue, which was still pretty shabby, at last started to make sense. Indeed, the way Anakin got confused between both sides was actually pretty convincing and you could feel his struggle. Still, the whole journey to get to this result was seriously awkward and Lucas made so many mistakes along the road, it was almost beyond repair. Eventually, his biggest mistake was probably to choose to write and direct all the prequels, something he didn’t even do for the original trilogy. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was far from being a masterpiece, it was still pretty solid and entertaining and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
