I really want to know whay some think we have to "face facts" that is is a horrid movie. In the cinema world there is NO SUCH THING as "FACT", either on the screen or on a critic's page. It's OPINION, no matter who's giving it. I knew what to expect, mediocre dialogue, whacky characters, "bad feelings", but also GREAT visuals, great mythology, and SUPERB action, so I just accept that this is to serve the purpose of "escapism". In the drama department, I felt it was the best of the series. The romance was forced but Anakin's emotions were as genuine as I've ever seen any actor deliver. Hayden a bad actor? You have the Golden Globe people and the Screen Actors Guild to debate with on that one. And I'll gladly debate with the Razzie people, they're wannabe iconoclasts more than they're critics. Get off your critic High Horse, and leave room for those who can appreciate what any movie has to offer.
