Everything I expected

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

The Star Wars franchise is getting back on track, and Lucas is starting to get some of his old magic. I went to see this movie as soon as I could, because I was anticipating it so much, and I got what I expected. Note, I did not expect anything as good as the first trilogy. The plot was as strong as the first trilogy, and the acting was great (Hayden Cristensen does an excellent job, you can almost feel this dark energy flowing from him), but it seems that Lucas has lost his flair for dialogue and the love story seemed a little predictable and cheesy. The action scenes, however, more than made up for this. (I really got a kick out of the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Yoda stuff) This is not a love story, but it is a great action movie, and probably the best Star Wars "date" movie you could take someone to. It was what I expected, just don't expect too much.
