I thought it was ... neat. But that's about as high as it gets... It's hard to rate a star wars movie in a vacuum but the acting and writing was abyssmal. Lucas should never be allowed near a pen again. The worst were Anakins actor and natalie portman which is odd since both are very fine actors. The special effects, of course, blew me away.. and I liked the movie in general. But me, and most everyone else at the theatre last night seemed to walk out with a "eh" feeling. Just my $.02 Anz
