You can only do this so many times

Rating: 9/10 (17 October 1999)

Great special effects, cool performance by Neeson, but how many times can you run this plot out? Would have liked to see something a little different from Lucas. Samuel L. Jackson unconvincing as Jedi master, Jar Jar Bates cannot be excused as kid-fodder. BUT Neeson does handle a light saber like nobody's business. Look for Anakin to somehow be sucked into dark side by devotion to mom in sequel.
