big, expensive piece of bulls..t

Rating: 4/10 (27 May 1999)

I've waited close to an hour outside the cinema to see it. Not because I had great expectations of the movie(I got a big feeling I wasn't going to like it) but because I didn't want to be the only person in North America not having seen it. I don't think I have even smiled once during the projection, not like the group behind me which applauded when the previews began, when the previews ended, when the Lucas Films logo apeared, everytimes Lucas's name apeared when R2D2, 63PO, Anakin... have been introduced in the movie and at the end of the movie. Then, the first thing I've heard was from my 13 years old brother saying the movie was nothing more than an insult to his intelligence(in french). The truth is that the movie was purely a mix of things that worked well in episodes 4,5 and 6 as a result, a movie made for less than ten years old, filled with plates, easy jokes (witch are not funny at all) and characters made to sell stuff at McDonald. I just feel angry against the big Star War fans saying this is the best movie of all time. They know it's not true, they were ready, I guess, to say that way before the production of the movie had started cause nobody over 10 years old can seriously think it.
