my two pence

Rating: 1/10 (29 January 2001)

Well I was very disappointed by this movie. No, Jar Jar doesn't bother me in the slightest, my gripe boils down to the script which i found to be both lazy (phantom is just a remake of Jedi, and New Hope, exactly the same things happen in three star wars movies now), and contradictory to the original films which maintain that Yoda taught Obi wan, not Quai Gon Who? One of the most irritating parts was the science, blood tests and midi clorians (excuse the spelling) seem so out of place in star wars, explaining "the force", and Jedi in this way is akin to dissecting dragons and unicorns. To sum up i wish this film didn't seem so rushed as it does script wise, well there's always the next two films.
