Hype springs eternal nonsense as the sequel lacks the force.

Rating: Null/10 (20 November 1999)

First of all, I didn't mind Jar Jar. If anything, he brought a little humor to the otherwise stiff proceedings. Like so many Bond remakes, this comes at you with almost too much boom and zoom. I sure didn't like the kid whose acting abilities peaked with the pod race scene and went into a nose dive after that. And why couldn't Mr. Jedi Knight bring the mother? That bothered me! But not as much as the total lack of cohesion in the story. Needless to say, good special effects kept things entertaining but, considering all the advance publicity, this one sagged.
