Attack of the Bad Movie

Rating: 1/10 (24 November 2002)

This film is long and boring, with dreadful acting and the worst dialogue in history. An under-developed love story, editing that is like a see-saw sapping any tension before it can start. And it looks terrible. The digital process may be great for the backgrounds and the all-CGI characters, but the human figures look flat and washed-out. Compared to the lively original films [the first two, anyway], this is like a Star Wars film sapped of everything good. The series is dead but the good news is there is only one left. Lucas keeps saying that this is all set-up to number three. So far we have been given over fours hours of set-up--Phantom Menace and now this--how about just giving us a good movie? The first Star Wars was "set-up" in a couple of minutes. Now it takes two mediocre films to set us up for a third? I'm sorry, this is the worst of all time.
