David Ansen's general claim or thesis was that this film (Star Wars: Episode 1) was not good in many regards. Ansen's thesis statement was: " The movie is a disappointment." (line 2, paragraph 2).
The author, David Ansen examined the standards of acting quality, plot, and design of the film. He also examined the quality of directing which he definitely did not think much of.
One example of specific evidence David Ansen uses is in paragraph four when he quotes a particularly bland line from the script of Anakin (" Can I go, Mom? Yipee!") to show the lack of anything interesting, mysterious, or special about the early sections of the film dealing with this happy, regular child who supposedly will become a dark, evil, and powerful member of the dark side. Another example of specific evidence the author uses is when he refers to the computer-generated character Jar Jar Binks. This occurs near the end of chapter five when he describes this character as " a goofy, floppy-eared vest-wearing toy serpent with a clumsy two-legged lope and an incomprehensible Caribbean accent." He goes on to write of how Jar Jar was used in an attempt to create some form of comic relief and of how it only back-fired to create nothing but a negative reaction (similar to Stepin Fetchit of the 1930's which Ansen compares Binks to near the end of chapter 5).
From reading this, I learned to share my honest opinions with the audience, but not to be too bias and to show that there is some good in everything no matter how bad it may seem and vice versa. Ansen, for instance wrote of how much of a disappointment the film was for much of the essay, but when he wasn't doing that he was praising the design and state-of-the-art technology used to create the film's stunning backdrops.
Stylistically I liked Ansen's informal writing. It is casual and easy to read yet very informative and he is certainly able to get his message across.
