Despite the marvelous entertainment, action, fight scenes and outstanding special effects, this movie is ultimately a dud. Mr Lucas has spent so much time and effort on the background (special effects) that he has forgotten the most important thing, the foreground. This is the reason movies should be made in the first place - captivating plot, good acting, good storyline.Almost everyone I know that has seen this movie has thoroughly enjoyed the action scenes, but they have cringed at some of the disgraceful acting and scriptwriting. When I saw this people were laughing in the cinema at the supposedly serious scenes between Anakin and Amidala.I'm sorry to say it. I wanted so much more than the lowest common denominator for this movie. This script is a travesty.
