It could have been worse....

Rating: 3/10 (7 August 2000)

But not much worse, as this movie is totally lacking in plot and good acting, with several minor exceptions (Liam Neeson for one). What annoys me most is the reliance on special effects to hide the fact that there is no plot cohesion whatsoever, the characters simply talk for a while, have an action scene, then go somewhere else to talk and then have an action scene. Another feature that is most aggravating is the fact that the lead villain and my favorite character, Darth Maul, gets all of three one sentence lines and about five minutes of screen time. Although I'm a fan of the original series and have read most of the books, I must say that this movie has the worst plot ever to be associated with the Star Wars franchise.
Overall I give it a 3 of 10.
