Long lines, rowdy crowd of fanboys, lousy seats, technical difficulties, nice Matrix Reloaded preview, etc.
Hayden Christensen, as the petulent brat Anakin Skywalker, is possibly the worst actor in a major film in years. We finally learn how Luke got the whining gene.
Natalie Portman looked sedated. I kept expecting Hayden to slip her the tongue. No dice.
But I'm not sure you can completely blame the actors for the movie. George Lucas wouldn't know a decent script if it were shoved up his ass. Dozens of cringe-inducing lines. Audience of rabid fanboys snickered and groaned.
I felt embarassed for Hayden (he made me feel uncomfortable!) and Natalie. I felt embarassed for Star Wars fans. I felt embarassed for the movie. The long battle scene at the end was cool.
All in all, it's worth your $10--albeit for about 30 minutes of the film. As much as I'd like to see some of the action sequences again, I don't think I could sit through the rest of it. Except if someone MST3Ks it, which would be an immense improvement.
