No two ways - this is a bad movie

Rating: 3/10 (7 January 2003)

Almost all of the elements that made the original Star Wars one of the best movies of all time were missing from this film. The effects were spectacular; but rather then adding to the story they bloated this movie. I could go on about the acting, story-line, and such; but what struck me was that everything had to be a special effects tour-de-force. I remember sitting in school and drawing x-wings and tie-fighters; no kid outside of art-school will be drawing any of the ships from this film, and that is not intended as a compliment.
