His characters, as is now his norm, are plastic puppets, even in the confectionary love scenes. Most of their dialogue is so doughy that it could be spooned into comic-strip balloons. Lucas simply has no interest in these people. Apr 11, 2016 | Full Review…

The technical wizardry of the action scenes are ultimately more important than the story and reason enough for nonbelievers to see and enjoy the movie. Dec 14, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The core story could have been good or at least has good elements... Unfortunately all of that gets lost in a terrible romance between Anakin and Padme with some of the worst romantic dialogue I've ever heard. Apr 18, 2019 | Rating: D- | Full Review…
