definitely the worst of the series

Rating: 3/10 (19 April 2007)

I remember when I saw this film for the first time; I walked really disillusioned out of the cinema... After some years I almost had forgotten all about the new episodes of star wars (thing that has never happened with the original movies), and I wanted to give them a try again to see if my judgment has changed, but unfortunately it has not :( Yesterday I saw "The Phantom Menace" and actually I was not so disappointed as the first time I saw it when it came out. Maybe because that time I was expecting something reaaaally reaaaaally great, but now I knew it was nothing to compare to the original ones.
Today I continued with "The attack of the clones" which I reconfirm is a complete disaster. There is a lot of action in this film I most admit, but it seems to be boring because there is nothing behind it. I still think there is enough material to have made a decent film, but all the concept and the direction just went very crappy. The actors are lame and the characters are even confusing (how a senator becomes a blasting warrior, surviving while dozens of trained jedis are killed? and how Yoda that uses a cane to walk starts moving like Bruce Lee on some sort of amphetamine?, etc) It is just sad they ruined the chance to make a good movie to complement the great three originals. "TPM" started no so good but "AOTC" is really a shame. As I remember episode III "The Revenge of the Sith" was the "less worse" from the new three, but still far far away from the glory of "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Return of the Jedi".
Sad!
