Not the best, but very good

Rating: 10/10 (18 June 2005)

First, let me say that I LOVE Star Wars. I first saw A New Hope when I was three years old, and it changed my life. When I heard that the prequels were coming out, I was ecstatic. Now that the movies have come full circle. I can honestly say that I am well pleased with the series. As I said in the title, this movie is not the best by a long shot, but it's still really good. I personally think Episode II: Attack Of The Clones was the best, and this is a close second for the prequels. George Lucas can pull something from American Beauty (film a plastic bag floating on the wind) and I'll watch it. I will be a George Lucas fan to the end.
This movie had a lot of hype coming with it. While the hype was good, I believe that it harmed this movie a little. Now I've gone to all of the spoiler sites and knew everything that was going to happen, but the anticipation of what may have been took away from what actually was. Most people that I talk to who have seen this movie say that it was good, but the dialogue sucked. I challenge anyone to show me one "Star Wars" movie that has an Oscar worthy script. You'll never find it. Star Wars is, in the exact words of George Lucas, "the most expensive low-budget movie ever made." Every low budget movie generally has cheesy dialogue. With Star Wars, the dialogue is not as important as the story. This movie tied everything together. It finished the plot. The dialogue can be as cheesy as it wants. This is a "B" movie. Don't get me wrong, I'm not putting Star Wars down at all, I'm just putting it in the appropriate genre: Science FANTASY. Get over the cheesy dialogue and get into the story.
