You are going to enjoy this film THOROUGHLY if you are a Star Wars fan.
Make no mistake, this film has flaws, but they are utterly forgiveable as the positives FAR outweigh the negatives in this flick.
I think Hayden Christensen does a good job showing the
awkwardness of a teenager who THINKS he is grown, but has yet to reach FULL maturity. He also provides a good
glimpse of the man he will become.
Newsflash: Natalie Portman is rather attractive, huh?
She is stunning in the film and does a good job in her continuing role as Amidala.
My favorite parts of the film?
1) YODA. 2) The Fett family... VERY interesting to see the bounty hunters without the masks. 3) YODA.
The action scenes in this film are FAR superior to TPM, and you FINALLY get to see what you ALWAYS wanted... ..a bunch of Jedi in action!
Ultimately, this film ranks with the original trilogy. It does a very good job with continuity and you can start to CLEARLY see the links between the old films and the new ones.
Even JAR-JAR is more tolerable!
This is a MUCH better job, Mr. Lucas. We who are Star Wars nuts salute you!
3.5 stars/4!
