Great special effects, but that's about it

Rating: 5/10 (24 June 2003)

The producers & directors went over-the top for kick-ass special effects and titanic battle sequences. Unfortunately, they forgot the most important parts: a decent screenplay, and actors who can actually act their way out of a wet paper bag. Natalie Portman and Hayden Christensen killed this movie with wooden acting, compounded by lousy writing & directing by George Lucas. George, get over yourself and grab some of the creative team (Peter Jackson & Frances Walsh, to name a few) from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy--NOW!!!
