what?

Rating: 3/10 (27 January 2003)

OK, high points: 1) Natalie Portman is....veeery attractive. 2) Jules Winfield with a light sabre (Before I realized that Jackson was walking through the part.) 3) The Yoda fight. I haven't laughed so hard since...well, since Episode 1. 4) And the highest point of my visit to the multiplex was..........................the preview for the new Matrix movies!! Yay! I hope they aren't as dull and pretentious as this latest impostor of an action movie. OK, fine, that's a little harsh. I know, I know, Star Wars is just about having a good time and seeing some nice special effects. Epsiodes 1 & 2 have all the effects, but none of the fun! Ewan MacGregor seems to be the only person on the set who said, "Wait a minute, I'm in a movie called Attack of the Clones," and decided not to take the damn thing so seriously. Just relax, people. It's OK if these movies are bad, it's not the end of the world. George Lucas couldn't direct a Sierra Mist commercial. That doesn't mean I think the entire Star Wars franchise should be forced out of his hands and given to someone competent, but I wouldn't be too put out if, uh, such a thing took place......
