Disappointing follow-up

Rating: Null/10 (3 January 2001)

Compared with the "middle 3" of the Star Wars trilogy, I found this movie disappointing. This was not because of the plot or dialogue, but rather it was badly-directed. The fight scenes were badly choreographed and "dragged on", and the politically incorrect character of Jar-Jar Binks was padded out in order to keep the attention of younger viewers.
Star Wars will not be a classic series in 20 years time if all of the rest of the series is like this film.
