Well look, pretty special effects

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2002)

This movie was boring the first time I saw it. Why? Well the "love" story is the simplest explanation. It doesn't have any real emotion, and the dialogue is painful at times, (myself and friends went for a walk at those parts of the movie the second time we saw it). Now I will say the battle scenes in this movie are on a huge and vibrant scale. But they are not as good as the final scene in Jedi, (Wedge, Londo, Ackbar and that big-eyed dude can't be beat). This movie is better than Phantom Menace,(not hard), but can't beat the original three.
Aside from the love story dialogue the rest of the dialogue is also bad at times. Simply put, the characters don't have the charm that all the originals had.
But in conclusion this is a good action film, that is loaded with special effects, the best being Yoda. (That scene did give me a bit of that old Star Wars feeling). Beyond that it was nice to see the Slave 1 flex its muscle. And this movie isn't horrible, it just needed tweaking that could have made it very good, instead of just good. But now it's up to Episode III to try and equal the originals.
