And you thought the Phantom Menace was bad...

Rating: 2/10 (1 July 2003)

After seeing this film, I was hugely disappointed. Not only was the acting horrible (it looked more like a 1st grade play than a large Hollywood film) but there were too many useless subplots. For example, Anakin's and Amidala's relationship-scenes couldn't get any sappier.
There were also far too many idiotic innuendoes to democracy and such. I felt like I was in the middle of a lecture hall rather than in a movie theater.
Anyone who thinks all aspects of this film were good only do so because his/her eyes are clouded by the main plot, which is the only thing that is good. However Lucas came up with the plot years before anyone ever expected the prequels to be made and the plot itself was thus not "Hollywoodized," like the rest of the film, if you know what I mean.
This was one of the most disappointing films I have ever seen. Episode I seemed to cater to little kids, while Episode II seemed to cater to screaming teens obsessed with N Sync (Yes they appear in the film too). Hopefully the third will be more sophisticated and of higher quality, although I doubt it.
