I found the opposite. I found the acting of both Jake Lloyd and Natalie Portman weak.
Perhaps it was just the material they were given to work with however.
Both Liam and Ewan were good however. Overall the movie was the weakest of the four -
however, it will likely improve significantly once the prequels are viewed as a whole.
TPM spends a fair bit of time setting up the plot for the following movies in addition to the stories in TPM.
Lucas has recaptured the feel of the original movies and the effects are topnotch
(except for some explosions that seemed substandard, and a few lipsynching problems towards the beginning.)
The story as a whole however didn't seem as engrossing, the characters didn't draw you into the story.
I almost think the amazing cinematic shots hurt the movie ironically... the viewer is left thinking
"Wow... that is an amazing shot", rather than being immersed in the story.
The souveneir books being sold in Canada are quite well done.
