Worst in the series, but what do you expect when the sole intention with this film was to make money

Rating: 7/10 (30 April 2002)

Sometimes, making something so big and epic just doesn't work. Granted, much like the millions of people who went to watch this movie, I can honestly say this film was like another Return of the Jedi. While the amount of special effects shots was tremendous, the technology didn't seem to enhance the nature of the beast, but more like taking the predetermined ideas and relegating it to nominal status. Too much to put in simpler terms. However, from a lay standpoint, the film was entertaining in many places, giving us a taste for what will be expected from the other two movies. A solid effort to say the least, but one that needed a little more work.
