Although very flawed (most of the acting, the dialogue, overusing visual effects, overlong story, etc.), the movie does have its strengths (Ewan McGregor, Ian McDiarmid, Christopher Lee, visual effects, musical score, bigger action, etc.) I think the movie does work as a whole although, as I said, you have some big flaws to contend with as well as the strengths to enjoy. There are plenty of Star Wars films better than this one and I do think it's better than Phantom Menace. I will say one memory I have of seeing this film is the theater crowd going nuts when Yoda turns on his lightsaber.

I do like it. It's far from perfect, but it blows The Phantom Menace out of the water. The rainy fight scene on Kamino and the Coruscant chase scene are also riveting action moments they really elevate this movie to being very watchable.

I agree that the movie works over all and I also don't think Christiansen is THAT bad in it. It still knos hos to be fun imo.

great assassination attempt/city flying car chase, great gladiator arena, ground war and light saber duel ending and the kamino stuff and asteroid field chase were fun too. i like that it has been 10 years since the gang has had an adventure together and they have another.

For the most part, it's watchable...Better than Phantom Menace...Just cringe worthy whenever Christensen / Portman open their mouths...The dialogue and delivery is simply horrid..I think both were miscast (Portman at least can do better...Simply not the right role for the deadpan Christensen)

It has its flaws, but I enjoyed it a lot more than "The Force Awakens". I wish Lucas would have put in more stuff from the Tartakovsky "Clone Wars" TV Series. That really had a lot of good things in it that would have have really elevated the prequels.

Lucas has a lot of technical skill as a director; but as a writer of dialogue, let's face it, he sucks. |

But when I saw it three words sprang to mind...Sonic The Hedgehog. Also, already by that point I had begun to find Yoda, and Jedis in general, totally annoying |

15th Anniversary of the first film I ever fell asleep to (in a theater).
I was a huge Star Wars fan until this stinker came out. The Phantom Menace was laughably bad but I enjoyed the parts of the Senate deliberations and the Trade Federation intrigue.
This film was just terrible.
Fortunately the new films are beginning to redeem the franchise.

The best prequel. I prefer it to TFA and R1.
