Listen up Lucas

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2001)

Sorry to filter this through Star Wars - but if you threw a few gadgets in there and called it "Episode 1" we'd have the best SW film ever. It's been a year and a half and I guess I still haven't gotten over that atrocity...
But back to the film at had. Wow what an experience! I'm trying to think of an action movie I've seen that's better than this and I can't come up with one. The story was intriguing - the action wasn't just thrown in, and the characters' motivations all through the movie were natural (characters weren't just forced into action scenes for no reason).
Great acting all around, great plot, GREAT direction. It'd be a tough call between this and Traffic for best picture. Where do I pre-order the dvd? Give me more, Ang Lee! Excuse me while I bookmark his imdb page...
