It took George Lucas 17 years to come up with this??

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2001)

It takes one hell of a script to make great actors like Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson look bad but somehow this film managed it. There was no plot to speak of and where was the characterization? OK, so they saved the world at the end but I really didn't care and Darth Maul was a boring villain - he wasn't even scary, bring back Darth Vader. The movie looked great but in the end it was a triumph of style over substance. An insult to the original trilogy.
