Not great, of course ... but damn fun (SPOILERS)

Rating: 8/10 (7 June 2002)

All right, the writing is terrible; the talented actors give the most wooden line readings; and the love story is hamhanded, silly and just WRONG.
But who cares? Ewan McGregor, even with that hair, Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman sure are nice to look at. Samuel L. Jackson gets to say "The party's over." JarJar's barely in the damn thing. And, to top it all off and save the movie, Yoda FIGHTS!
All in all, the last 45 minutes made me happy that I made the trip to the first midnight screening.
