Masterpiece with myopia

Rating: 9/10 (17 August 2002)

The force is not with this film as strongly as with its famous predecessors. I think the story itself is good but the execution is not as impressive as in previous episodes. I find the romance between Anakin and Padme the most moving part in this film. In my opinion the film fits well to the overall Star Wars context. Generally however you get the impression that the audience is somewhat ignored and makers suffer from some kind of techno myopia. A bit too hectic to my taste but nevertheless a very good film.
