bad acting, no plot, slow, great special affects

Rating: Null/10 (24 June 2002)

Well, one thing that was consistent was the acting of anakin. Jake Lloyd can't act, and at least they continued the bad acting with Hayden. He was wooden, and most of all, WHINEY! I haven't even heard a 5 year old whine like he did in this movie. "Obi won is holding me back! Obi won is jealous of me!" I was waiting for obi won and anakin to get into a slapping fight at that scene with Padme. Also, the plot was slow, considering the first half was almost nothing but Christensen and Portman sending back hollow emotion back and forth, (some of those lines were pathetic, "I'm intoxicated by you"?????). And I'm sorry, but the meadow scene with the two of them, I was waiting for them to break out with the lyrics to "sound of music". SO, finally, after about an hour and a half, when they got to the clone army and all that stuff. Finally! The film got good, and the classic star wars shown through. The jedi fighting scene was spectacular and Yoda's fighting scene was great. And needless to say, Natalie portman losing clothing progressively through the whole movie was a plus too. The only complaint I have about the the last 45 minutes, was C-3PO. There aren't words to describe how incredibally stupid his humor was, or attempt at it. 3PO's humor was pointed towards 7 and 8 year olds. Overall, I give the film a 5/10. The Special effects alone are worth paying 5 bucks to see. One suggestion for lucas though. "Give Christensen some acting lessons!"
