We just back from seeing Star Wars 2 with Jonathan. In a sentence - This is really bad 1 and 1/2 stars out of 5). The dialogue is some of the worst I have ever heard in a movie - I actually groaned and cringed at many spots. Roger Ebert left a screening and said"I had not heard one line of quotable, memorable dialogue." Me neither. The acting is bad. I  felt like I was watching a bad Spy Kids or Power Rangers movie. I alternated between wishing I had a book to read (rather than listen), leaving the theatre (which I don't think I have ever done), or pining for Return of the Jedi (in the good old days). The movie didn't grab me at any time. I didn't feel like it was interesting or engaging. In all honesty. I got more excitement from the Minority Report trailer than virtually all of the movie combined. 6:07:42 PM
