Good but should be better...

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2002)

Very good Sci-Fi movie that was created more for KIDS.This was done intentionaly by Lucas for reasons only known to him.Either that or some thing has happened to his brain because this film,as good as it was,is just done in such a way as if it was not created by the STAR WARS masterpiece creator GEORGE LUCAS we all know.It is a mystery indeed.The problem with this movie is that it OVER USED CGI.This computer special effects tech should only be used as a BACK UP to STANDARD SOLID PROPS.Maybe later on in the future when CGI is good enough to look MORE REALISTIC and LESS ANIMATED.But as of this writing,CGI is simply not ready to be highlighed in this way.The character JAR JAR BINKS was also too over used.An improvement that this movie has over it's earlier STAR WARS counterparts is the much better FIGHT SCENES.Even though this movie is much more inferior compared to the other earlier STAR WARS films,it still is good enough to rate as one of the greatest SCI-FI Movies of all time (top 20).Only for SCI-FI fans......
