i like ep i more than most and and have high hope for this one . when i look at imdb after the first few night in theater and read about jar jar be almost totally go and how much well this part be and i be really excited . i so want to like this movie . but ouch . now first of all and the directing be utterly horrid . it be the bad part of ep i as well and but lucas really lose it here . the movie seem to jump from scene to scene in the most illogical place and action scene get interrupted and and just when you be get into a good scene and you get hit with yet another boring but i love you and but i be jedi and oh no and boohoo scene . excuse me and but since when have star war be a soap opera instead of an adventure . furthermore and haydensen be horrible and and even the old actor from ep 1 seem to have lose some of their interest . most action scene be either boring and badly direct or the effect really do not look too good . i especially be open my own wrist in the arena shootout scene and look at the princess just stand still and shoot around and without a hint of any kind of battle tactic or try to take cover . one scene and above all others and basically make me hurt and bad . the one with the princess and darth on the meadow and rid a fat ( bad cgi ) blob and roll around and laugh and jumping and kissing . god and me and my friend couldn not believe our eye and how do that get into the film . laughter be the only way to go . only in the very end do the movie manage to create some of that good old star war feel and leave some hope for a good ep 3. i just wish lucas would give the director seat to someone else .
