Can I get a Yub Nub?
You know, I kind of miss those Ewoks now. Atleas they had spunk, but none of the characters in this movie seemed loveable or fun. They were all too serious except for that disaster bubble fish crossed Jamaican accented Jar Jar Binks. He was definitely the most annoyying. Nothing in this movie yearns for that old trilogy fling. Lucas took a great gamle. If this story was written in 6 chapters, he was right to film the last three. Those made more of a memorable story than these first two.

Sadly drab.

one of the best dvd's ever, one of the bigest let downs ever
i can almost count the years when the movie was first anounce and put in development i had high hopes with the advancements in cgi and technology i was expecting a grand specticle, it was but the acting killed the movie. and the writing didnt help either. what made the original trilogy great was the characters. you had an intergalatic war, yes but it was revolving around these characters you actually care what happens to them and without that it just another movie. the kid in the movie cannot act to save his life, and jar jar should not have even been in the movie, if george lucas was trying to get a sidekick like chewie was, he should have tried harder. great special effects but time and money should have gone into the writing and better actors.

Only Technically a Star Wars Movie
If Episode 3 is as much of a dud as 1 & 2 have been, I will simply choose to ignore the existence of this "pretrilogy". Episode 1 is indifferently cast, poorly acted, incompetently scripted and directed. You can see Natalie Portman trying to be feisty and resourceful, like Princess Leia, and it it just ain't happening. Both she and Ewan MacGregor spend most of the movie just trying to keep up and even Liam Neeson, a veteran, talented actor, is obviously disconcerted by delivering his lines to a blue screen. Darth Vader as a sullen brat. We needed 2 and a half hours of this? Plotwise, Anakin's entire childhood could have and should have been less than 45 minutes of Episode 1. Poor Jake Lloyd. In the future, be easy on him folks, he was just a little boy and its not his fault George "discovered" him. Jar Jar should be euthanized.
