i remember when this film come out and i keep put off see it . and put it off and and off . then it come out on video and and i finally rent it . i think i be put it off because i instinctively know it be go to be awful and and i be right . it be one of the dull and most atrociously acted film i have ever see . the acting be stody and boring and and consider the acting talent involve ( liam neeson and ewan mcgregor and and samuel l. jackson ) and you would think lucas could have do something spectacular with them . ala and no . lucas have say numerous time that he detest direct ( this be the first film he direct in over 20 year since the original star war film ) and and his contempt for direct show . it feel like a sonambulistic exercise and intent on put u to sleep and and it have an overall lackadaisical feel that really irk the viewer . many who saw this be extremely disappointed because they love the original so much ( the original 3 be far superior than this tripe ) . they more than likely felt a sense of obligation and loyalty to see this film and the progressively bad prequels . they grow up with the original star war film and and they go away disappointed and angry at the fact the prequels be inferior in every way to the original . lucas dialogue be wretched and his pacing be totally off and and he seem to be kill time here . there no real enthusiasm here and in front of the camera or in back of it . perhaps the actor pick up on the fact that lucas do not give a damn about his own film and so why should they . i sometimes think lucas purposely make bad prequels so he wouldn not have to film the final 3 chapter . and why do he decide to make the prequels . if he make the 3 film that be suppose to take place after return of the jedi and he would have have no real creative restraint . who know why george lucas do what he do . i haven not a clue and other than i really dislike this film .
