Don't worry, it's good, very good indeed. Not great, but definitley worthy of Star Wars fame.
Although the movie does have some painful dialogue moments, on the whole the acting is very solid. Christensen & Portman effectively carry their romantic scenes, and have a real on-screen chemistry. Lucas made the RIGHT choice for Anakin.
The effects are as spectacular as you would expect, the movie's plot effectively foreshadows the events that will take place in III and the 4-6 trilogy, and the music is as brillaint as ever.
On another note, Yoda is the man. I will say no more and you probably know what I'm talking about anyway, but he rocks. Viva La Yoda!
Can't wait for Episode 3. All you doubters, Lucas has the touch. This movie probably won't make as much money as Spiderman, but it is a more rewarding cinematic experience as a whole.
