What the heck are some these reviewers watching? First off, they complain about the acting. Granted, some of the lines seem a bit stiff, but overall the acting is better than any of the other Star Wars movies (Do they remember Mark Hamill?). Hayden Christiansen did a great job. He was able to show the transformation to the dark side extremely well. It is obvious that he was definitely the right person for the job.
Many complained about the slow parts of the movie. However, these parts are necessary to the overall story. What did some people want, Anakin and Padme to get drunk, screw, and have twins? They had to spend some time developing the love part of the story. If nothing else, it gave women the chance to gawk at Hayden and men time to gawk at Natalie.
I have seen this movie three times and of the five Star Wars movies, I would have it tied with New Hope for 2nd (behind Empire Strikes Back). It is a great movie, with great action, and it makes me wish 2005 would get here soon so I can see the next one.
