Too much talk, not enough action

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2005)

What a disappointment. Yak. Yak. Yak. I began looking at my watch to see the time remaining about forty minutes into the movie. Looking around the theater I wasn't the only one doing so.
The amateurish acting by Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, and especially by Samuel Jackson, was painfully terrible to watch; enough so that I was embarrassed for them. Was Jimmy Smits on downers?
The light saber fights weren't too bad. Also, some of the vehicles (and critters used as transportation) are getting dumber and dumber.
John Williams remains the best in the industry.
The movie's conclusion did a nice job of completing the circle of the four stories. However, IV is still the best.
