Better than I remembered, but still not that great. The political storyline was interesting, but the horrid writing and acting make the romance laughable.

My review at Epinions.

I get the feeling I’m supposed to feel sympathy for Anakin, but I really can’t. This movie was like a bad soap opera. It would have been worth watching if they’d taken out all the fluffy Padme/Anakin “make me wanna puke” love scenes which only emphasized the horrible acting.

Worth consuming, but only just.

And no, Hayden Christianson’s acting never gets any better…
