Amazing highs, horrible lows

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2002)

There are amazing special effects and a gripping political plotline, coupled with wonderful cityscapes and action scenes.
The utterly crippling part of this movie is the love story. Totally unbelievable, uninteresting, boring. George Lucas needs to go out on a date (badly!). I just had to shut my eyes during some of the love scenes. Simply editting these out would be great (looking forward to the DVD!). If the romantic leads were aliens you could excuse (maybe) their terrible dialog.
