Quite good.

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 1999)

For a U certificate movie, the plot was a bit hard to follow and it was very noisy. But the characters were good fun. Darth Maul, for the limited screentime he had and for the few lines he spoke, was impressively cold and unrelenting and was played with impressive uncannieness by Ray Park. Another favourite of mine was Jar Jar Binks. Very funny and intelligently written. Qui Con Jinn (Liam Neeson) was no Obi Wan Kenobi but still lasted as did Ewan McGregor, the last person in the world who I thought would star in it.
One of the problems here is the pace,which dos'nt always keep up and sometimes allows the movie to drag on a bit,especially towards the end.
The special effects, however, kind of redeem this.I was impressed with the pod race, especially.
Ultimately, I admire this movie's attempts. But it's not always that successful and doesn't, of course, live up to the originals by a long shot.
