Same opinion 20 yrs later....

Rating: 5/10 (2 January 2020)

We have been revisiting the 1st and 2nd trilogies after seeing the conclusion of the third. This movie has been my least favorite and it still holds that title for me. I did enjoy Obi and Qui-Gon and the fight sequences involving Dark Maul were good but the same issues I had when I originally watched were even more aggravating somehow now. Jar Jar Binks-What can I say that hasn't been said? He would have been annoying given a few minutes screen time but I must have blocked out how big of a role he had. Just painful to watch. Also Natalie Portman has zero charisma and is as wooden as she's ever been. Im a bit fan of the franchise so gave it 5 stars as it is a piece of that larger puzzle but do not think I'll include it in future binges. I thought time and nostalgia might soften my view but that was not the case.
