It could've been a greater movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2001)

I love Star Wars not only because of the special effect, but also the story. It's one of the greatest story I've ever seen. And I would still have loved it even if they are set in 17 or 18 centuries with sword and ancient guns instead of light sabres and laser guns. The characters of Luke, Han Solo, Leia, and Darth Vader are so stunning and real. The trilogy are definitely life-time pictures.
The idea of making a prequel, or tracing back to how Darth Vader comes to the Dark Side, is shivering and filling me with such a long-time longing. I think everyone is agree if I say that this movie should fully concentrate on the character of Anakin Skywalker. It would have been the greatest movie ever made.
Unfortunately (a BIG ONE), it turns out flat. Almost dead flat. This Anakin doesn't convince me as a clever, hardworking, well-skilled, and ambitious boy. Instead, he's just a dreamy and spoiled little brat. I can't believe that he's building the pod-vehicle by himself (Or even C-3PO). This is just one thing.
Another thing is that the dialogues are flat and lifeless. No wonder Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor seem heartless. If we compared with the first movie, "A NEW HOPE", there are real humans there. Luke is an ambitious but impatient boy, Han Solo is, sometimes, a mercenary jerk, and Leia is a spoiled princess. We can find them everywhere in real world.

So, I was GREATLY disappointed when I first saw the movie who got more of computer graphic characters than the human characters. I really really hope that the second and third episode are better than this.

Note : Does anybody ever consider to make the Anime Version of Star Wars? I would really love that.
