It was not really so bad

Rating: 4/10 (26 January 2004)

Honestly, I don't know why people are so bent about this movie. It was a fun popcorn matinee-style movie that has all the cool elements of the original trilogy. I personally enjoyed the frequent use of lightsabres in this movie, I thought that they weren't used as well in the original trilogy. There was a fair bit of location shooting and sets that were not just blue screens (The conveyor belt in AOTC!) Character development was shaky but, as Roger Ebert said, "if you want non-stop character development, watch a Star Trek movie." That and the lightsabre duel at the end was kickass. There's no way that this movie is as bad as people say, like Gigli. NOT THAT I'M COMPARING THIS MOVIE TO A BENNIFER FEATURE. sorry.
