A clear profit-oriented effort

Rating: 5/10 (22 May 2002)

Guys, I know that we all are always very excited from the prospect of another episode of the Star Wars saga coming out, because we are so attached to the story and the characters, and we automatically recall nice childhood memories of when we, as children, saw the original episodes . However, watching Episode II has felt more like receiving an insult to the memory of the glorious original ones rather than a glorification of the series. This movie is a barren land which has very very little to offer; special effects by themselves do not impress anybody anymore, and frankly I can't find any other particular interesting feature about this movie. I have found the love story, which constitutes an important part of the plot, particularly lame and totally predictable. Guys, the sole purpose of this movie is clearly a commercial one: sell as many tickets, hats, books, videos, DVDs, posters etc etc etc as possible. It has nothing new to offer and we shouldn't donate our money to people who do not have anything valuable to offer to us.
