if it wasn't for natalie portman, this movie would have been perfect

Rating: Null/10 (27 November 2002)

what a harsh one line summary! ... but that's the way i feel. This movie was excellent, and when she [Natalie] is on the screen, i cringe.
this movie was as if all the mistakes that George Lucas made in part one [which i liked], he fixed them up in part two, sprucing it up with action, great special effects that grips you from the beginning to the end. The story line of course gets better, and we see more of how the dark side is winning over the good side. The best part for me was the fight between Yoda and Dukoo [have to laugh at the names]
Ewan was so wonderful in this movie, he continued on from part one, acting the same character but older giving him more wisdom and knowledge, that we see how obi wan becomes a great mentor for Luke.
The reason I did not like Natalie, is not like Carrie Ann Moss from the Matrix or Liv Tyler from Lord Of The rings who project a sense of power and radiance onto the screen, you don't see them acting' you believe that they are Trinity and Arwen. Natalie only spoke her lines, not giving much emotions just walking around trying to be pretty and smart. You don't see why she is so special, why Anakin falls in love with her, all you see is skin and a girl talking her lines. Nothing special. Ewan on the other hand was Obi Wan, not Ewan Megregor.
It was a good movie, despite Natalies inability to act.
