Where have all the movies gone?

Rating: Null/10 (31 May 1999)

No arresting story, so no emotional impact. I sat there, alongside silent fans who desperately wanted the film to work, uninvolved, appalled at the amateurish script and acting (like a bad school play), the garish sets and the plagiarized scenes (the chariot race from "Ben Hur" and the grand march from "Cleopatra"). George Lucas, who wrote, produced and directed this, proved that he is not very good at any of these jobs. What has happened to filmed entertainment?
