enough already

Rating: Null/10 (28 July 1999)

Everybody from 6 to 60 is musing and dishing over this film - enough already. It's not scripture - it's Star Wars. There's no story, it relies heavily on special effects to fill in the holes, the dialogue is hokey, Jar Jar sucks and it's a little flat - but so what. It's a movie and it was enjoyable to watch. In fact, it was very entertaining. Unlike the majority of Star Wars faithfuls I didn't love it or hate it, I honestly didn't feel that strongly about it. It's a movie aimed at a younger generation and us old guys have to admit to ourselves that the reason we love Star Wars (and still do) is because we were in grammar school when it came out. We either have to remember what it was like to be a kid again or go see more mature films.
This film does everything right for its genre and target audience and if you want to see it - you should.
It certainly isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be.
