It's Star Wars. That's high praise.

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 1999)

Contrary to what all the naysayers and 'Legions of People Who Hate Anything Popular' say, this movie is really very very good. Jar Jar Binks is not nearly as omnipresent and annoying as some people make him out to be. The Jedi sequences are all very well done, with the Jedi themselves displaying a nice range of Force Abilities that people who have played the Star Wars RolePlaying Game or even Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II will greatly appreciate. I do not understand, however, the people whose main complaint seems to be that it was not dark enough. Come on people, even Empire at its darkest never had any of the graphic violence you seem to be clamoring for.
Very very good movie. See it. Love it. Don't take it too seriously. Good though it may be, it is just a movie.
