This can be excused when the line is SF technobabble, but when it's supposed to be intimate romance it comes off as clumsy, forced, and utterly unbelievable. He writes lines which no actor, even in a fantasy movie, can say without sounding like they're reading them off of cue cards. The problem with both this film and Phantom Menace is Lucas' dialogue. Many people have commented on the wooden acting of the two leads, which I somewhat agree with, but Christensen is not that bad an actor, and neither is Portman. Padme's character was a lot more established as well in visits to her parents house and in a confrontation with Dooku. You learned more about the wasp creatures near the end of the film and why Dooku enlisted their help. I was very disappointed when I watched the scenes that had been cut, as they fleshed out the story a lot more than the final cut. I just watched this on DVD last night, having seen it in the theatre.
