Episode One was MUCH better.

Rating: 3/10 (2 August 2002)

Oh, Star Wars is not back. The magic of the original trilogy is just gone. Those characters you really cared about, those inventive action sequences, will never be back, it seems. Episode One was silly and had wooden characters and bad acting, but at least it was entertaining. Episode Two is silly, has wooden characters and bad acting, and IT'S BORING. The last 20 minutes or so are impressive, yes, but they don't save the entire film. When this movie isn't focused on the dull love story, it shows the uninteresting adventures of Obi-Wan or tortures us with political mumbo-jumbo. All the "plot" is trivial: Someone tries to kill Padme, and who has to take care of her? Of course, Anakin. Yawn. Obi-Wan discovers that someone ordered a clone army so that the Republic could have a defense. Zzzzzzz. He discovers the mean plans of the separatists. More Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Yoda many times appears and the order of the words in sentences he changes, as usual. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Padme and Anakin start to fall in love. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
It is simply appalling.
I'll give it a 4/10 just because the special effects were awesome. Previous ratings: Original trilogy (the three films):10/10. Episode One: 6.5/10
