When I made my original review for this film, I must have been in a bad mood. While I can say that this is one of the lesser Star Wars films, it is in no way as bad as Episodes 8 or 9. I would place this just above 9 and way above 8 (8 is lying at the depths compared to the rest). The Film has stilted dialogue, effects that have begun to age, and a romance plot that feels awkward most of the time. However, there are some creative set pieces on display and the character of Count Dooku is a welcome addition the Star Wars universe. In addition to this, it serves a greater purpose within the Star Wars universe in setting up The Clone Wars and providing details that are necessary to understanding Anakin's change in character, thus providing more of a reason to exist in the canon than any of the sequel films do. Overall, not great but not as bad as I originally thought.
