rofl jesus who writes this toejam?
Hummmmmmmm I think the movie does THIS quite right, strange as it may sound.
Yes, I mean it. I think that Anakin's words to Padme (most of them almost embarrasing to hear because they are SO...well...old-fashioned, extremely romantic ,but clumsy to the point to be ridiculous
) are written this way ON PURPOSE.
See, Anakin is a boy who's been under Jedi instruction since he was 9, he has never had to give steps with a girl, and we have also to think that his feelings towards Padme start from the point they were left when he was a simple kid.....so is quite understandable that he behaves like a foolish 13-year-old in-love chap who writtes stupid love letters, and is clumsy to the extreme than instead of being romantic, he is almost embarrasing. Anakin may be 19, and one of the most powerful jedis -potentially- but in the romantic arena....well...he's worse than an 13 year old amateur
I think that the script describes this perfect...it agrees with the situation and the personality of anakin...he's still a kid in many regards, and this is one of them.
It would've been quite cool to see him being an expert with Padme...but quite frankly, I think that Anakin's clumsy approach to PAdmé is more than understandable...it was TO BE EXPECTED
yes the graphics were cool but the plot was so bad so who cares?
Personally I think the plot is REALLY interesting, and the story is immersive. Maybe too much politics for the usually "simple" processes in the previous Star Wars movies, but as a politic intrigue I feel that EpII tells a quite good story.
also i enjoyed the darth maul vs qui-gon/obi-wan fight at end of phantom menace much more than the light sabre fight at the end of this one, though i did enjoy the scene in the colusseum when the jedi came to the rescue.
EpI light sabre fight was simply awesome, and the best thing, by far, of the whole movie.
I also think this movie's is ....somehow...lacking. One has to admit, tho, that to see Anakin fighting with two lightsabres was simply outstanding, and is a scene I can't wait to see again.
I think that the actor playing anakin has lots of skill with the sword, and Cristopher Lee also was great with it (what did you know...he's an old man but he has got a nice grasp of how to fight!). I wish the combat had been longer between Anakin and Dooku, but is not bad as it was...and anyway...then came Yoda
and the yoda scene was pretty cool 
but i personally think yoda lost something going to animation from the puppet though they could never have done that fight scene with the puppet....
Yoda's facial expressions are simply OUTSTANDING, and I don't find anything missing in him, to be true.
THe fight...well...no words
.
overall empire strikes back is still the best.
NOthing will beat ESB, ever
oh but one other thing. natalie portman is so diddlying hot. sooooo mcuh hotter than leia. that white suit in the end oh my god. she much have the most perfect abs in existance, nice and firm but without being all nasty and mannish. and she hard rock hard nips. and a beautiful smile. and she goes to harvard too. wish i was anakin
I wish I was han...why? you will ask?...
well, when he is 23, Anakin is going to have his neck broken and from then onwards he'll live forever in a walking iron lung...and his contact with Padme (or any other woman, for that matter) will be equal to NIL.
I'd rather have Leia for a long time than Padme for just 3 years or so...but I admit, that Natalie Portman is REALLY hot, yeah
heheheheheheehehehehehehehehe
hehe
Overall I have to say that I liked the movie, and not just because the last hour. I liked it all...except some big TOPICS and scenes wich could have been played in a different way for a similar effect...
for instance, when Anakin's mother dies...damnit, the guy has just come after 10 years and he arrives JUST IN TIME to see her alive for barely 60 seconds before she dies in his arms...is so TYPICAL...so...well...topical
.
I say, why not make Anakin find his mother in bad shape, but alive, then when he tries to get her out of the zone, a tuskan raider opens fire on them and kills her mother. That way anakin's rage would be explained and his sadness later for not being able to save her mother would be even more understandable...
not to mention that this is NOT a topical scene like the one in the movie...
oh well...nothing is perfect and this movie isn't either...but is very enjoyable anyway.
