Can't say I liked it

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

Although, as most people have said, I think episode II was better than episode I, the movie was still rather disappointing.
First of all, I can't understand why people are praising the special FX. CGI just don't look real to me. Especially the computer generated creatures look weird, technology today just isn't good enough for this exaggerated use of CGI. To me, the special FX of the old star wars movies look better than the new movies. Stop motion rules. I'd even take ranchor over the ugly execution-monsters. I can't for the life of me understand why they have useD CGI for almost everything. Even when there is just one clone talking to Amidala, he is computer generated. To me, the second half of the movie felt more like an extremely long playstation cut-scene, than a star wars movie.
Also, C-3PO was a great disappointment, since he did nothing more than say stupid comments, that weren't remotely funny. He was almost as bad a comic relief as Jar-Jar was in the Phantom Menace. Old 3PO was funnier in the old days.
Yoda reminded me more of a bouncing ball than of a Jedi Master.
I liked the other Jedis though, and the lightsaber duels are pretty much the only things I like better with the new movies than the old.
All in all, I think the movie was more or less ruined by its special effects.
