Ugh. 'Nuff said.

Rating: 4/10 (7 October 2001)

Top ten reasons I gave this movie a rating of 4/10.
10. It's too long.
9. Even WITH the force, Yoda probably couldn't go from the muppet you see here to the cool *ss Jedi teacher we saw in Empire.
8. Natalie Portman can act, but has for some reason decided not to.
7. This is not supposed to be a comedy.
6. Even if it were, Jar Jar is not funny.
5. CGI battles don't look remotely realistic, even for sci-fi fantasy.
4. Too much politicking, not enough action.
3. A bazillion talented kid actors out there, and Lucas picks this little dork? This is Darth Vader, for cryin' out loud.
2. Speaking of which, Darth Vader makes C3PO? Come ON...
1. Three of the four rating points go to the VERY cool Darth Maul light sabre duels. The other one goes to Ewen MacGregor's excellent Alec Guinness impression.
