Nothing we haven't seen before...

because that's what it is really. Just think 'Empire Strikes Back' with the dialogue of 'The Phantom Menace'. Hey, just watch them both and that's what you've got. While this wasn't a terrible film (it was better than Episode 1, but that's still not saying much), it wasn't anything new. Mostly revolving around the 'love' between Anakin and Padme, it just didn't seem like a Star Wars film at all. And I know that it was supposed to show how these two hooked up, it was all mostly

"Oh I love you Padme,"
"I don't love you Anakin,"
"But I love you Padme,"
"I don't love you, Anakin,"
"I love you Padme,"
"I think I do love you Anakin,"
"Let's get married, Padme,"
"Okay, Anakin..."
Bleugh.
I think the only bit I enjoyed (and can actually remember) was the Yoda V. What's-his-face-Saruman-slash-Darth-something light saber fight. Probably the only memorable bit of the whole film...
