Jake Lloys is a good actor; he just got given lousy lines. He did exactly what he was asked to do.
I thought the "I was wandering- what ARE midichlorians" was far worse... crap line to start with, and not well delivered...
DIm is right though. The whole POINT of this film is the romance. Yet all the rumours are about fights, planets, wars... you want a continuous fight, wathc a Jackie Chan film (I may well do that...). But this film will lose it's heart without the romance... which everyone ignores.
To DIM you listen!
Yes but it is Star WARS. I personally like the more sensitive scenes, which was what TPM was lacking in (or at least the ones it showed were a bit awkward and unconvincing). However, I'm also a huge fan of the fights and action scenes, and let's face it, such a fantasy setting lends itself more to those than the romantic scenes. It's the lightsabre battle which has those wear and tear lines across the screen from repeat watching (come on DVD!), the Anakin and Padme scenes are crystal clear.
True, true. I my fight-loving self was worried Episode 2 would turn out to be a huge fight scene, especially considering Nick Gillard's quest to find hundreds of Jedi. It will be the love story that stands a chance of making episode 2 a five star film, no matter how good the effects or quality of the action, it needs that touch of humanity to raise it above the action film level. Quite why everyone raved about the Matrix, I do not know. OK, plot, fights and effects were good, but it tried too hard to be cool, without a hint of compassion. TPM came off as cool anyway.
