A well done film,but mostly for the fans.

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2002)

AOTC was a fine movie,with awesome action and effects.That should make it a favorite of the average hardcore SW fan.The acting is B grade but so was the acting in all the other SW movies.I mean there IS a reason why Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher didnt become huge stars! But more casual fans and the general movie audience might find its dark nature and more complex story difficult.That was in the cards to begin with,which is why Lucas began with episode IV.It had a simple and easy to digest plot that the public could relate to.That is not a condemnation of AOTC.It is what it has to be.It seems some critics just dont get that and go off on tangents about how great the old movies were.Thats a shame but then the critics didnt like the old movies when they were new.
