Pretty Good But Could Have Been Better

Rating: 8/10 (2 May 2002)

This movie is hard to really talk about. We all knew it wasnt going to be better than the original and it wasnt. I really like Ewan Mcgregor as the part of Obi Wan Kenobi and i liked seeing Liam Neeson playing Qui Gon Jin but i feel that Lucas did not work as hard on this film as he did in the other ones. Ill just tell you one thing COMPUTER ANIMATION SUCKS! I liked it in Toy story and stuff like that but when did Lucas use it in the original. Hardly ever really! I think its ok to have animation used in movies but people over do it nowadays and it looks so fake its not even funny. This is the case here. It as if youre watching a cartoon at times. Which is ok but i went to see star wars and not a cartoon. I thought the story line was all right though. Jar Jar binks they could have done without but i didnt mind him so much either. It was the animation that bugged me. I hope Lucas works a heck of alot harder in the prequels to be because to me its just laziness to use animation instead of frame by frame.
