Bad writing leads to shoddy acting

Rating: 4/10 (19 May 2005)

I thought the dialog was terrible. The first half hour of the movie, Ewin MacGregor (sp) seems to be playing it all for laughs.
The acting sub par for these actors. I've always thought the bitter beer face guy was the wrong person for the part of the young Vader. This movie was choppy and stilted. The best acting in it was on the part of Yoda. Which is pretty sad. I think that much of the reason for the bad acting was that the actors were working with bad righting.
The cg looked great. It was visually pleasing to watch, but painful to listen to.
All in all, I think Lucas isn't that great of a director. He can come up with stunning visual displays, but when it comes to directing people, he can't do it.
