+- easily the best of the prequels.
+- dialogue is atrocious at multiple points. acting is pretty uneven, with some really bad scenes accentuated by odd close-up shots or cuts.
+- just hit me over the head with the politics.
+- anakin basically murders his fellow jedi because they won't call him master?
+- lucas had no idea how to get to the end of this movie.
+- sadly no jar jar binks memes

+- clearly had a political pov they wanted to push, but they don't do a good job of proving it with the story they showed on the screen
+- sebastian stan slipped in and out of modern trump mannerisms throughout the film. i expected to see a change over time, but it seemed like he was more in-character for certain filming sessions versus others
+- i'd honestly prefer a roy cohn biopic, going through each era of his career rebuilds
