not too bad

Rating: 6/10 (1 January 2007)

After episode 1, this was a vast improvement. I came away from the theater impressed. I didn't necessarily think the acting was good or the dialog or even the story, but for some reason it was much more fun than The Phantom Menace and that's how I'm rating it. Everyone talks about how the new ones aren't as good, but go back and watch the originals. They're not exactly perfect. There's plenty of cheesy crap and bad acting in the originals, but they were enjoyable and I think this one is as well.
As for major problems with this movie, why the hell would Padme fall in love with Anakin when he acts like an obsessed psycho in need of anger management classes and some therapy to boot. He says crap like I can't breath without you and tells her how he murdered women and children in the village where he finds his dying kidnapped mother. I really don't think she'd be interested at all in a cracked like that.
Another thing, why the hell would the Jedi's just accept a cloned/slave army they never even knew existed. Doesn't that sound a little fishy to them? Nope, not at all, they just start using the human clone slaves as if it's not unethical or even a little weird that they never even knew one was being made for them. And what about all the Jedi's in the last major scene where they all go down like punk-b!#ches! What's up with that? I know there are fans who might want to respond to this, but I'm just having fun here, so hopefully you just find it funny.
