surprisingly dull

Rating: 5/10 (1 June 2002)

It's hard to fathom just how disappointing SW:AOTC really is. Suffice to say, that before the movie had ended, I was already pondering what movies to rent after I left the theatre. With the exception of some very nice scenery (including the comely Ms. Portman), SW:AOTC is a total bore. Only the venerable Christopher Lee brings any screen presence to bear. With this latest installment, it is evident that the Star Wars franchise has simply run out of steam.
