Star Wars: Episode II Film Review

Rating: 4/10 (26 July 2014)

I have just wasted 142 minuets on watching this pointless, mean-less and utter rubbish movie. I am not criticizing the actors or special effects, I will point my finger at George Lucas' bland script. The script is full of dialog that wouldn't of made a difference or affected the story line in any way at all, the actors because of the formal script and sound like robots, they are way to formal for a Star Wars movie. The relentless, pedantic dialog bores the audience not creating any tension. When i first watched this movie I actually wanted to leave the theater and was waiting for it to be over, that is not a good sign. The storyline my be solid and it often sticks to the point, but that would be the only praise I have on George Lucas' script. I honestly cannot wait to see how J.J Abrams does to rescue the Star Wars franchise. By watching the movie, I did not get a clear understanding of who the target audience is, I thought it was to complex for a 7 year old Star Wars fan to understand. Star Wars has a massive fan base, but George Lucas hasn't made anything that would impress a real Star Wars buff. The only way I can understand how the movie made so much money is because of its massive fan base, and not because of the quality of the movie. It is also to long until a good action sequence, it leaves the audience on the edge of their seats for too long and it must be obligatory for a Star Wars movie to have good action in it, or why call it a Star Wars movie at all? This movie has a few good/alright points, but in my opinion there are more bad points than good, making this a bad film.
