It seems to be quite popular and "trendy" to label the Star Wars prequels as bad or inferior movies.Lets also think about today's movie-going public..people who enjoy such films as LOTR and Spider-Man.People say these films contain bad acting, that makes me want to laugh out loud.Nearly every performance in this wonderful film was either good or superb.And this film actually had "gasp" characters you could care about unlike overrated, second-rate fodder such as LOTR and its sequel.Lets not forget the brilliant score that embodied much emotion and feeling just like any great Star Wars film should.My hat is off to George Lucas and John Williams for nearly making me cry in one wonderful scene, just before Anakin and Padme are about to be sentenced to death in the arena.Scenes like that had way more power and emotion than any sub-par sequence in LOTR.The direction was also very good, as well as the FX.This film has all the magic that made you love Star Wars as a kid.The Yoda/Dooku fight was one of the most thrilling and jaw dropping scenes ever witnessed in a motion-picture.I do not pay attention to pathetic reviewers who simply can not understand or give credit to a film that truly deserves it.Anyone that would say The Phantom menace or Attack of The Clones has no plot must be the biggest brain-dead, Ben Affleck fan in the world. This film is awesome, nothing will change my opinion.Thank you George and all of your talented cast and crew.When Episode 3 is released it will finally bring us the last film in this last great series.Star Wars rules forever.
