Better than Phantom menace but thats not saying much

Rating: 2/10 (19 May 2002)

Just a short review.The positive elements of episode two was the great special effects and inventive worlds that were created by lucas and his talented team.But sadly all this energy was channelled into visual elements of the movie and someone forgot about the plot,characters with depth and dialogue (a mixture of Z grade sci fi and midday soap opera). The love interest aspect of the movie just didn't fit it seemed and felt like someone added in for the cash in(titanic any one).To me it seemed like a wasted opportunity because both are promising actors but their scenes together are limp and lifeless,lacking any real intensity.I could go on but it feels like waste of my own energy and time to do so.All i can say is i hope the next episode has some backbone and remmembers that some us enjoys a movie that has a bit of heart and uses it s head and dose'nt just rely on a pretty face.
