What's wrong with you negative people?

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2002)

You've got to be kidding me. So many people hate this movie. It was a let down compared to Star Wars. Well for crying out lous, what isn't? Pretty much LOTR and the Godfather. This movie was good.
Episode 4: Quest to save a princess. Episode 1: Quest to save a planet!
I don't see this weak storyline, it was definitely alright.
It had a sweet battle sequence between the Trade Federation and the Gungans, all those lasers bouncing off those shields and the droids marching in, albeit Jar-Jar's segment of battle sucked and was unrealistic at best. Pod racing ruled (even if they did a lot of building up to it but hey, it's gotta be longer than an hour and a half)and the Jedi lightsaber duel was good, too.
What did you guys want? A Jedi and his apprentice go on some rag-tag ship in search of something else? That's exactly the same as the original SW! They try something a little different and it's rejected.
