Decent film, but Lucas can't write or direct!

Rating: 4/10 (17 May 2002)

Enjoyed the film immensely - well almost.
Story progresses well enough...bit of the Dark Side...bit of The Force, but George, for Chrissakes, leave the directing to someone else! Some of the scenes are woefully long and some are woefully short...the audience knows what's going on - we can work out the story for ourselves(it's not written by David Mamet!)...and, here comes the put down, we're not ALL American!
It would have been nice to have a little more original music as well. It's acceptable to have the main theme played, but the music from Episode 1 shouldn't have come back...it's fairly poor to begin with.
Grievances aside, it is still a very good film...let's just be thankful that there was a lot of story to progress from Episode 1!
And to everyone who moans about the acting, it's fine...this is still a sci-fi film after all...we don't expect to see the proper acting skills of an Alec Guinness for example...oops!
Hope to see more Yoda fighting in the next one.
