A big disappointment

Rating: 1/10 (10 January 2000)

Like everyone else in the western world, I couldn't wait to see the prequel to the Star Wars movies that I loved as a kid. I was so disappointed in this movie. Acting hit a new low, and the new characters didn't live up to the standards set by Han, Leia and Luke in the old movie. Jar Jar is annoying and needs to take a long walk off a short pier in the next movie. Plus, it didn't take long to figure out what was going to happen. So maybe it wasn't fully Lucas's fault. I mean, how concerned are you going to be when Obi Wan is "fighting to the death" with Darth Maul when you remember that Obi Wan is in "A New Hope"? This movie is a huge disappointment when compared to the first three. The special effects are amazing, but other than that it's not worth it.
