George Lucas couldn't write dialog if his life depended on it.

Rating: 3/10 (16 June 2005)

If I hadn't been with friends when I saw this movie I would have left with-in the first few minutes. The forced story line and it's gaping plot holes, illogical character actions, inconsistent use of the "Force" as only a convenient plot device, and regular violation of the laws of physics require the typical action film's suspension of disbelief and I was willing to buy into it  especially given the gorgeous visuals. But then one of the characters would speak and the illusion would collapse. The dialog was so god-awful and stilted that I wanted to cringe and scream at the same time. This has got to be one of the top contenders for the most talent ever wasted in a film (followed closely by Star Wars I & II).
Fortunately I didn't pay to see it as a friend had given me a gift pass. I just wish I hadn't wasted it on this film.
The trailers were good though. I'm really looking forward to the "Chronicles of Narnia".
