OK, half the people that comment on this arent film critics

Rating: 10/10 (12 June 2002)

I'm about sick and tired of seeing most people leave comments bashing this movie. First off, someone does not go to see Star Wars for the "oscar" winning acting. This has been established awhile ago, in the earlier movies. Secondly, you have to realize that although we know what is going to happen in the next few years for Anakin, Padme, etc., the characters do not. SO when someone comments on the whole forbidden love issue, and claims it is over done, clearly they do not understand the movie. The whole point of them emphasizing the forbidden love is because it is FORBIDDEN. Anakin takes a bold step being the only Jedi that loves, and as a result, evil things happen (eventually in Episode III). Visually, this movie is amazing, and will keep you entertain, rest assured. Also, someone said the whole Star Wars series is not a legacy. How dare a human with this belief be allowed to breathe the same air as me, because apparently they have no idea of past movie sales for any Star Wars films, let alone the craze that it has developed over the lase twenty-something years. In AOTC we learn so many things that weren't answered in previous films, such as the beginning of Storm Troopers, the rise of Senator Palpatine (aka the future Emperor...no that is not a spoiler, because it has been publically noted that that will happen in Episode III), and we see Bobba Fett as a child, and most importantly, we see exactly how Darth Vader is in his youth. This movie is incredible, and the fact that it is a mere $5.50 (student fare) is highway robbery. If movie theaters decided to charge what they felt was fair for the movie, I would not see it because I would not be able to afford it. Its that good.
