Line 5:
Although ''[[Star Wars]] Episode 1: [[The Phantom Menace]]'' was a critical and fan disappointment, many were hoping it was just a slump. Those that liked the last film generally liked this one, but the others didn't feel it got any better.
Ten years after the last movie, Anakin has grown into a fine, if a little too hot-blooded Padawan, to Obi-Wan's annoyance. Meanwhile, the Republic is stuck into a political crisis thanks to separatists leaded by Count Dooku, a retired Jedi. Chancellor Palpatine wants the Jedi to act as an army for the Republic against the separatists, but Padmé is one of the senators against it, and coincidentally she is a target of two assassination attempts on the same day after she arrives on Coruscant to vote, with Anakin and Obi-Wan thwarting the second one.
The movie then separates in two storylines: while Obi-Wan searches for leads about who one of the assassins is and for who he was working, Anakin is entrusted with protecting Padmé, and despite the Jedi Code forbidding attachments, the two fall in love. Then Anakin begins to have visions, visions of his mother Shmi, that he last saw as still a slave in Tatooine, in pain.
The biggest point of criticism was the love story, followed by Hayden Christensen's acting. Again, those that like the prequels don't seem to mind this. The points of praise lie in the main story, with Obi-Wan's investigation into the clone army and Separatist uprising and the last 30 minutes are thrilling.
Directed by George Lucas. Produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. Distributed by 20th Century Fox.
