Comments: Probably the most anticipated movie ever in the history of cinema. The first of the Star Wars pre-qual movies was received with mixed reviews on its initial release. Too much CGI, bad dialogue, wooden acting. It really couldn't live up to the hype. But like all the films in the series, has it's own unique tone and flavor. And though these flavors may not be to everyone's taste, I think in the coming years more and more fans will come to appreciate this film for what it is, rather than what they wish it would be.
