I too am a big fan of Star Wars however not a fanatical one that will say anything is great no matter how crummy. The love scenes were like a page from a bad romance novel..they should have been discreet and the dialogue less sappy. Also Hayden Christenson was only ok as Anakin, he seemed unable to truly portray the passion and conflict Anakin would have experienced. Admit it..the scene where he was having a nightmare was the worst acting you have seen.The audience would laugh at many points during the movie where you weren't supposed to laugh. The fight scene at the end barely saved it and even then it was inferior to the fight scene in Phantom Menace. We knew things were going downhill when they "redid" the originals and not in a good way. I still have high hopes for the third movie but Attack of the Clones is the weakest out of the entire Star Wars series.
