Entertainment Weekly posted the following:

And what happens when the CGI is great but you can't invest in the people? Well, you end up with ''Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace,'' which, despite the ''it's better, really'' buzz, does not bode well for ''Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones.'' You can have all the breathtaking effects you want; you can take us places, visually, we never thought we'd dream of going. But if the characters spout lines as wan and wooden as Anakin and Padm? do in the trailers, well, only the true believers will make it to ''Episode III.''

Here then are some things to keep in mind, ''Star Wars'' fans, when you finally file into the theater on May 16: Do you suffer through the quiet character scenes while waiting for the next action set piece? Do the words the characters speak sound like flat, generic subtext or something a living person might genuinely say? If these people are meant to be mythic, are the performances pitched at the appropriately larger-than-life scale? In the end, do you BELIEVE THE PEOPLE?

If you don't, then it's a failure as drama, no matter what anyone says. And I'd argue that, unlike ''Spider-Man,'' it would be a failure as entertainment, too.
