Special Effects don't make a movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 April 2005)

In terms of box office taking this movie is forth or fifth. In terms of special effects this is a top film but in terms of story and loyalty to the original trilogy this is abysmal.
Darth Vader is the ultimate movie villain, forget Freddy Kruger and Voldermort, but a cute little kid was used to play the role of him as a boy. Genius? I think not.
Another thing, Darth Maul is a fantastic character. I think it's fair to say that everyone loves Darth Maul. Why the hell was he only on screen for about 10 minutes? Darth Maul was the key to success in making a passable Star Wars prequel.
The question is, If Darth Maul wasn't on the screen for a decent amount of time then who was? Three words- Jar Jar Binks. The perfect character if you're under ten years old, an insult to the greatest sci-fi films of all time if you're over ten.
