At least it is better than The Fandom Menace.

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2002)

It's better than The Fandom Menace, but that doesn't say much, just about everything is better than that.
It doesn't hold a candle to Episode IV, A New Hope (The REAL Star Wars). I do have to say it gets better towards the end, when it relies on action. One problem is the movie tries to explain to much, and the explanations just don't make sense.
Also, the love story just doesn't work. Anakin's seems rather psychopathic in his confessions of lust.
