Pass me a bucket

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2002)

For most of its slightly more than 2 hours, this is a great film, with some wonderful moments (Yoda returning to him shuffling gait after the wonderful seen with Dooku was for me particularly amusing!). Unfortunately it is marred by some staggeringly bad dialogue during all of the love scenes - I get the impression that Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman thought the dialogue to be bad as well, if their stilted, wooden delivery is anything to go by. Actors of more quality may have been able to produce something out of the dialogue, but both Portman and Christiansen are so outclassed by a cast that includes Samuel L Jackson, Ewan MacGregor and the timeless Christopher Lee, that the holes are just far too obvious.
