I felt Natalie Portman's acting skills were somewhat lacking in Eps I+II. She didn't emote or enunciate or stick to anything than that dry overbearing monotone...
She was damn hot in the first, but they put her in designer-chic outfits in the second, and she suddenly reminded me of those awful runway models people are able to dig up. In the end, there is only one redeemable quality in each movie:
Ep I: Darth Maul + Jedi fight scene. Can anyone in good conscience say that scene DIDN'T rock hard?
Ep II: Massive jedi on Evil stadium battle Royale. Name says it. However, it was too long in coming and that stupid Videogame-type scene on the conveyor belts and the Yoda Fight (which looked like some guy flailing about. I can just imagine Lucas Saying: "Ok, swing your sword around a bunch! We'll digitally put yoda in!") sucked away from the coolness of the rest of the scene.
