READ THIS ONE!!!

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2002)

Hopefully I got your attention. I'll just keep you for a second. I want to tell you just a couple things about this film that may help you or anyone else who hasn't seen it yet or are boycotting it like a few of my friends. I would first like to say that many of us were disappointed by The Phantom Menace, including myself. I'm still trying to like it. But make it a point to GO SEE THIS ONE!!! Ignore everything negative you've heard or read about this movie. You've gotta go and make up your own mind! Don't let those negative critics make up your mind for you because I almost did. I went and saw this film with very very low expectations and walked away with same feelings that I had when I saw the original Star Wars films when I was a kid. In short, I LOVED IT!!! I went and saw it twice in one weekend and I've never done that with any movie! Sure, there are a few cheesy lines and Natalie Portman (Queen Amidala) can't run, but that's pretty much it!!! The rest of the movie is spectacular! The end of the film is like watching the Grand Finale of a 4th of July fireworks display; the entire screen is completely lit up by the red, blue and green flashing of light sabers and laser-blasters for about 30 minutes. GO SEE THIS FILM!!! I promise you'll enjoy the film, or you'll just have a really expensive bucket of popcorn! 7 out of 10 at the worst.
