MORE KISSY-KISSY THAN IN THE "TITANIC"...george! stick to sci-fi!

Rating: 2/10 (29 June 2002)

All SW movies require some suspension of disbelief. But crap like this can't be ignored.
-who all thought annakin was gonna lose his arm on the robot stamping line? Wow!.. that was a red herring!
-Not enough boba...er..jango fett, who is perhaps one of everyone's most appreciated secondary characters in the SW SAGA.
-once again, the apprentice puts up more of a fight than the mentor against the villain in the end.(annakin SW:ep2 Obi Wan SW:ep1)
-More kissy-kissy than TITANIC! with cheap cinematic shots STOLEN from SOUND OF MUSIC (padme coming up over the lush green hills of switzerland while a stupid unnecessary CGI'd annakin rides some animal). only to fall over... to await the worried arms of his true love...*sob* I expected the "oops I fell over, now let's NECK!" technique was last used in AUSTIN POWERS to punctuate the CHEESE, I didn't expect Lucas to pine: "Hey! that's sexy...and creative...I'm gonna use it!"
-A stupid hobbling yoda turns into a Japanamation-esque hand blender with the 'sabre, only to return to his crippled self afterward.
-An arena firefight worthy of the FINAL battle of SW:ep1 that takes down Jango Fett, a staggering number of robots, AND a dozen jedi's with all their powers... OH LOOK!... Padme's still fighting! GO Padme!
-The clones were great, but it was too little too late... after the movie was done, my girlfriend turned, and slapped me for wasting 2.5 hours of her time with such a hokey movie! AND I thought she liked Star Wars!
