Even Disney Knows How to Make Movies for Kids and Adults

Rating: 4/10 (31 May 1999)

AAAAAAAGH!!!
Holy Cow this was a bad movie. There were only two (count 'em - 2) scenes that made this movie bearable. (1) The Tusken Raiders shooting at the racers. (2) The swordfights at the end. Otherwise, this movie was horrific.
God, I am so disappointed.
There have been so many science fiction movies that have relied soley on special effects instead of plot. I consoled myself throughout those movies my knowing that Lucas was coming back to bring back great science fiction stories to the big screen.
I was so wrong.
This is a movie made for 10 year olds (and geeks who think like ten year olds). CHRIST, EVEN DISNEY HAS FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE MOVIES THAT APPEAL TO BOTH CHILDREN AND ADULTS! Can't Lucas do the same?
Where is the humor? (Tongue numbing jokes are not funny to those older than about 10.)
Where is the humanity? (What happened to Mama Anikan? Is she to be a slave forever? Do we all say "Oh Well, the Force demanded it?!")
Where is the passion?
Why did I bother to spend hours downloading trailers?
Why did I bother spending hours reviewing the first three movies?
AAAAAAAGH!!!
