Disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (10 April 2003)

My biggest complaint about the film has to be the awful chemistry between leading characters Padme and Annakin. I dont know if it was bad casting or mismanaged direction, perhaps it was the terrible dialog, but they just didnt work as a couple. This unfortunately dragged the entire film down. I expected a lot more with this film. The Phantom Menace fell well below expectations and Attack of the Clones did also, I'm hoping the third and final enstalment doesnt make it a trifecta.
I think that the original 3 films were far better in everyway that is most important: acting, directing and writing. AOTC's exceptional SFX doesnt save the film at all.
