Even if I take it from that limited POV I'm still not satisfied. Anakin was completely unbelievable. We have to believe in his conflict. Don't say that "it's just a sci-fi story" so the acting doesn't have to be good.
He's supposed to be a passionate person - the most passionate in the galaxy - and his performance is important.
That said, I have no problem with lame popcorn movies (sci-fi or not) only good for a theater viewing only because the effects are good. Sadly enough, this movie does not qualify for that, as even the action sequences seem long and pointless. I'd say as an action popcorn flick I had more fun seeing Troy.
Yes, I hold these movies up to higher standard. They are portrayed as the new trilogy, supposedly on par with the last. I simply expect to get what they are pretending to deliver.
