A complete farcity to the series

Rating: 1/10 (19 May 2002)

Lucas still doesn't realize the whole problem behind TPM was his inept ability to write out his story. How many times do fans have to hit him with hammers before he realizes this? This is unfortunately what ego will do for you. AtoC's only improvement was the loss of the both Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd. Replacing them are not as childish but equally as one-dimensional and dense cardboard characters. None of them memorable. I'm trying to swallow in my own bile when I say Jar Jar actually was more interesting than the hilariously moronic name of Count Dooku (in reference to a part Lee played long ago).
The story is wooden, bland, and outright boring. No one really cared what was going on behind this insulting conpsiracy of Palpatine. All we wanted to see were CGI shooting at stunt doubles and of course the new improved Anakin and Yoda finally wielding light sabers. Well great. This is how we are going to remember the prequels of the first Trilogy.
AoTC: 4 out of 10.
