This movie fails on every level

Rating: 1/10 (10 September 2014)

I rate this movie 1/10 because there is only one good thing : the music. My advice is to close your eyes, listen to the music and dream about a better movie. The plot makes no sense, the characters are undeveloped, the acting is uninspired to say the least (and with such great actors giving ALL terrible performances you know the problem are not the actors themselves but the director), the special effects are laughable and very dated by today's standards (not that they were any good back in '99), and overall this is a poorly conceived and badly executed....project, I guess. This thing is not even worthy of being called a "movie" because a movie is supposed to have a story and some characters: this failed experiment has neither.
I will not mention all the problems with the original trilogy because back in '99 I had never seen a Star Wars movie before (I totally missed it: it was all about Ninja Turtles when I was a kid) so I had NO expectations at all because I knew nothing of Star Wars.
This was my first SW movie and when I walked out of the theater I was thinking "So this is what all the fuss is about ?" , I was really unimpressed and kept on ignoring Star Wars for years until recently an old friend forced me to watch the original movies and well.... now I understand what all the fuss was about. Star Wars is awesome, and people were right to complain so much about how bad this movie is.
My point is that even if you are not a Star Wars fan this movie will anger you with how stupid the plot is and how little effort was put into their work by every single person involved in this....thing. Were it not for the music it would get a zero.
