[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 199211, member: 115"] Finally got around to seeing it last night... Many people have mentioned that Lucas needs to hire a writer. Even more so he needs to hire an editor. There was a good half hour that could have easily been cut from the movie without any loss of context. Add my voice to the many that say lines were corny. My fav was Dooku challenging Yoda to a lightsaber duel. Mace killing Jango was just about the coolest thing I've ever seen. They play him up to be really nasty, and Mace cuts him down in what must have been less than half a minute. To me, so much of the movie seemed like it was just happening without any sort of rhyme or reason. Perhaps it was just bad editing, but every major scene change seemed to be, "Ah, let's go here! Ah, let's go there!" I liked most of the characters, even Jar-Jar's minor stint, EXCEPT Amidala. Perhaps it's bad writing, perhaps it's Natalie Portman, but every time she was on the screen I winced and silently wished the movie would get onto cooler stuff. In semi-counterpoint, I liked the lovey stuff to a point, until the blatantness and repetitiveness of it started to get to me. I felt like it was being crammed down my throat. [/QUOTE]
