Great movie, few flaws.

Rating: 7/10 (2 August 1999)

Although I loved the movie, it did fail me in several key areas: (1) Jar Jar. You know the contraversy. I don't care if he IS gay, he's annoying, unneeded, and generally just a waste of CGI. He serves as little more than (weak) comic relief and by the end I was hoping he'd die. (2) The fight scenes, although well done, were shot WAY too closely. I'd would have liked to have seen a little more of the action from a distance so I could see what was going on. (3) The miracles of Anakin. No spoilers, but he pulls a one in a million shot that could have been done different and more realistic.

Otherwise, the story was great, the scenes were on par with the other movies and the overall feel of the movie far outshone these problems.
