Hated It....

Rating: Null/10 (21 March 2007)

I remember when I was a kid my mom got all three Star Wars movies at the library (the original ones not the ones where they redid the real looking puppets with awful computer generated images, and the extra scenes that never should have been shot in the first place), I remember she kept saying "I can't believe I haven't gotten you this to see you, you gotta see it, you gotta see it!" I remember thinking "yeah whatever" but then it actually lived up to the hype, three great entertaining movies with great characters and a great story throughout.
I watched them many times.
That's why years later I went to see this movie as soon as it came out thinking "this won't be as good but I hope it's still okay", and walked out feeling I'd been ripped off.
Awful story, crap characters, dialogue a kindergartner could write and worst of all Jar Jar Binks. I couldn't stand the kid either. But none of the characters were very good. I don't blame them though, I blame the director and writer who showed none of the brilliance in the first series of films.
You spent how many years on this project and had how much more money and THIS is what you came up with?!?!
