While the movie felt rushed, there is no denying that it was a well spent 10 dollars and two and a half hours. The same can not be said for the last two. Lucas did what he knows how to do, make awesome action sequences. This alone helps the viewer get over the wooden acting of Hayden Christiansen and majority of the cast. To seal the deal, the flik does a mighty fine job of selling the fact the anakin is evil, and it is because of that that I loved the movie. Probably my second favorite behind Return of the Jedi.
