Man was this sappy.

Rating: 4/10 (14 June 2002)

This movie was long on effects and combat, and unfortunately far too long on pure syrupy SAP. That Anakin is a Basketcase, mad at Obi Wan, then mad at the Tuscans (killing their women and children, come on!), then madly in love with Padme (many years his senior). His last name should be changed, by the way -- from Skywalker to ChickStalker. He will not leave her alone! And the speech by the fireplace is enough to make you blow your popcorn -- "you torment my soulllllll!" Gag me.
I wish I'd spent this 2.5 hours seeing something else.
