May the force be with you...you're gonna need it.

I came out of the theater feeling like George Lucas had pulled it off...but just barely. The dialogue is downright silly, the acting often wooden and the computerized action--overkill as usual. This movie's saving grace is it's jedi vs. sith battles. Finally we get to see the full fury of both sides as they pull out all the stops in a battle of lightsabers and the force. This makes up for the weaknesses already mentioned, along with such distractions as R2D2 trying to be cute (lame), the recycling of Chewbacca (lamer), and Padme's dying on cue (lamest). When I get this on DVD I'll just skip to the lightsaber battles and forget the rest. C+/B-
