Too Little, Too Much, Too Late

Rating: 1/10 (12 July 1999)

The prequel to the famed Star Wars movies was nothing but disappointing at best. While it is understandable that every story needs a plot, the plot took too much development. The action of the movie culminated too late with too many scenes.
The story of young Anakin Skywalker is nothing grand. It is an alien version of any 1800-era slave in America, fortunate enough to be free of his shackles of solitude. Qui-Gon was too stuck up throughout the film, be it towards Yoda or Anakin. Obi-Wan Kenobi had the edge of playful, helpful youth attached and was welcome whenever Qui-Gon was on screen.
But then again, any movie you take a nap during is not a good movie at all, and my ten minutes of sleep during the prequel was probably the best part.
