Star Wars I-III (prequel trilogy)

I am writing this review after sitting through the whole star wars series in the order it is to be (not in the order of release).. and I am sorry to disappoint Star Wars fans: the prequel trilogy may have its moments but it was nowhere near the original Star wars series...(renamed IV- VI) ... I would say that I(phantom Menace) and II(Attack of the Clones) were pathetic... III( Revenge of the Sith) is way better than the other two but still falls short of the mark.....apart from filling in the curiosity of star wars fans regarding Darth vader's Outfits and the Emperor's broken up face and maybe Luke and Leia's separation, this trilogy serves little purpose..

Considering that the original Star Wars stunned ppl with its special effects and concepts, this trilogy released in the age of LOTR(Lord of the Rings) is wanting on the effects too...

Whats more compared to the original trilogy , even the dialogues and not so great...Lucas would have done himself and his fans lot mroe justice with just one film instead of the three...

Natalie Portman as Padme is a relief when you have to sit through the horrible part I and II's , and in III, while the film improves, she looks a lot older.. :)

Overall 6/10
