More irate by the moment

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2002)

I've returned for a final tirade against this piece of junk - the more I think about it the more angry I get.
All those people who believe they love this 'film' and all those involved with Lucasfilm should now understand

we've have had 25 years plus of film-making since Star Wars: A New Hope came out

we've had good sci-fi films such as Blade Runner, Alien, Aliens, Starship Troopers, X-men, Spiderman, Matrix, we've had hero films like the Indiana Jones set, Gladiator and Braveheart, we've had truly beautiful & poignant fantasy (finally) such as Lord of The Rings Part I

If you really believe that turning out a piece of badly acted, poorly scripted, childishly plotted, pathetically directed rubbish like this using the Star Wars genre as a shield is a appreciative way to treat an audience then you're woefully mistaken. However I'm sure the next steaming pile of Dooku to emerge from the Lucasfilm stable will be from the same bloated beast and will generate enough revenue to convince the creators of this 'film' that trying to pretend the circumstances that made the original Star Wars trilogy great is a hugely profitable game-plan - nevermind the audience, who just pay to watch childish tripe.
