Awful and disappointing

Rating: 2/10 (25 November 2001)

This movie was pathetic compared to the original three. The ideas are there, they are simply not fleshed out and used the way they should be. I think Lucas did better when he had an uncertain studio making sure that he drafted and redrafted the script.
Also, to all the people that argue "This is a kid's movie," I say that is no excuse.
First, I think the original star wars film appealed to viewers regardless of age.
Second, the Wizard of Oz, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Shrek are all "kids movies," yet these were much better written and executed than this disaster.
