Pure Entertainment, Pure Fun

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 1999)

This movie is pure fun. It's not Shakespeare, and it won't change your life. It's STAR WARS.
Must I address the Jar Jar issue? Okay then. I can see why people thought he was annoying, but I don't care. He was funny, and if you don't like him, quit shoving it in my face. I don't care if you don't like him. I think he's cool.
People said the acting was wooden in the originals too. Who cares? You don't see Star Wars for the acting. I didn't hear anyone say "Let's go see that new Sam Neill movie" when Jurassic Park came out. They went to see people getting eaten by dinosaurs! And people went ot this one to see Star Wars. Quit expecting some dark or serious or important movie. The first three had bigfoot running around with a guy that kissed his sister and two robots!

Many critics addressed the whole "Trade Federation" issue. They said the old Star Wars was very patriotic, but this one is anti-government. HELLO? I think they were trying too hard to find something to critisize. That makes about as much sense as "The Truman Show symbolizes the fetus' desire to laave the womb".
The vast majority of the public loved it. There's a small minority, mostly on the itnernet that love to bash it, and they get more press than they deserve. If you don't like it, quit cramming it down my throat. I loved it.
