It's Star Wars

Rating: 7/10 (18 July 1999)

This film is not the best film ever made (neither were the originals) but it does stay in the mold of Star Wars. The Worlds they visit are rich in detail, with many strange races in funny costumes (much like the originals). The effects are ground breaking (just like the originals), not just in their quality but in their quantity (literally every frame has some computer alterations of some form). Also, unlike many summer blockbusters recently, there is a bit of a story, albeit a pretty simple one (just like the originals). The problems really come with the dialogue because it sucks (just like the originals). Someone really should have said "erm George nice universe and idea and all, but you can't write for toffee". Unfortunately no one did so we are stuck with a film full of pointless repetitions of what other characters have just said and dialogue with no emotion. All this stops the dialogue from flowing so its sounds stilted and dumb. Ah well what more could we have expected. (A script doctor perhaps?)
Oh and why did they make Darth Vadar Jesus (virgin birth and all that)?
And why exactly do they need to bring balance to the force as the darkside have been doing nothing for a millenia?
