I am glad I waited....

Rating: 8/10 (18 May 2005)

to write a review until the second time I saw this movie. It is not perfect, unfortunately, but it is far from horrible.
When you put aside expectations based on a childhood love, there are only two things that stand out as flaws, I took a star for each. Jar Jar is truly the root of all evil. I would turn to the darkside if I grew up around him too. It was an unforgivable move. And Jake Lloyd. I hate to be so critical to a young kid like this, but I truly hope he stays in school. Reviewing the documentary "The Beginning" he is the only one shown who is messing up their lines for the screen test. It was pitiful. Jake, be cool, stay in school! Beyond these two things, the move is fantastic. The complicated political climate comes through nicely. The mystery of the Sith Lords comes across nicely. As a whole, bravo... too bad Lucas won't be killing off Jar Jar though...
