Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2002)

Don't get me wrong, this isn't garbage. I mean you can watch this on Friday night and always be entertained in someway, but the fact of the matter is... its boring. This movie, as expected to popular belief, took itself way too seriously. Line after line, the script continued to describe the make believe world of Star Wars as if we actually cared about which planet was under Trade Federation control. The one great thing about Star Wars is the action and the excitement but this movie unfortunately dug too deep into politics and trade routes and just bored the heck out of you. Maybe if you were a senator, you might find this interesting.
The characters of Star Wars were hardly tweaked emotionally and showed no growth throughout the movie. Unlike Episode II, there was no mysterious character inside the Jedi's or any interesting traits about them. They were just Jedi's. When they showed Anakin the boy, it was made to make the viewers go like "That's Darth Vader, awww..." and that was basically all his usage, besides the horrid ending sequence with him flying the spacecraft around like a cowboy. Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) looked like a talking statue for most of the movie, alas, getting into some action. What's up with her two different accents in the movie? The worst character by far though, that damaged the movie was Jar Jar Binks. The movie was as adult as it was, but adding Jar Jar Binks made it evident that this movie didn't know who to target, rather everyone. That's maybe why it did so well at the box office, i don't know. Overall, nothing special about this movie. I suggest watching this movie at night and drowse yourself with a lot of caffeine so you can stay awake. Yet again, when I was in the theater, not even a large coke and large popcorn could suffice me to stay awake... so watch out.
