BAD acting doesn't kill film

Rating: 6/10 (16 May 2002)

Making Natalie Portman look like a good actress is not easy, but Hayden Christensen is awful enough to do just that. I think it is clear in casting Luke Skywalker's Father, they looked to the son's acting, Mark Hamill's acting as a guide. Nearly every word uttered by Skywalker Senior is more unbelievable as the next. However, the film has some great special fx, does a good job with the story, and if you're into costumes, Natalie Portman where's a lot of them in this flick. Watching Yoda in action, and I mean ACTION, is a wonderful. I suppose I should add, that every star wars fan should see this. I am, I did, and despite my obvious misgivings, I was glad I did.
