Did Lucas' children write and direct this movie?

Rating: 2/10 (23 May 2005)

This movie had so much going for it, and in the end it didn't live up to any of my expectations. I disliked the dialog in the first two films in the new trilogy, but the dialog in this film is ten times worse. The acting is so emotionless across the board that I have to give R2 the best performance nod. It is hard to make all these great actors look like they are half awake. The worst part is however the plot. Padme was once a strong independent senator that made incredibly intelligent decisions. In this firm, she acts as if she has the IQ of a beach ball. Same thing can be said about Anakin. All the flying must have gotten to him in the end... People can love each other so much that they do horrible things, but the scenario in the firm is just not believable especially considering what is at stake. I might as well have read a short story on this and that would have provoked more emotion out of me. Shame on you Lucas.
