A minor disappointment.

Rating: 8/10 (19 July 1999)

In 1 word, disappointing. In a lot more, something like this. Oh dear. What had potential to become a classic film has turned out to be only a good film. Its not bad, but not a classic. There are some good new characters like Jar-Jar Binks and Darth Maul, but sadly Anakin Skywalker isn't one of them. He's more of an irritant then anything else, shouting YIPPEE every few minutes. And like Yoda, Jaar Jar Binks (good though he is) needs a translator. But these are only minor flaws. The film has some great moments (The Pod Race), some brilliant props (The double-sided light sabre - I want one!) and some downright tacky bits (The Parade). But it is a great film, just not a classic. And what is it what George Lucas, Royalty and large amounts of hair?
