Funniest movie of all time...

Rating: 1/10 (24 August 2009)

I laughed like a loon while watching this on video. It was just so...bad! In a completely, wonderfully cheesy way. Menace was drab and dull, but Clones was hilarious. Not intentionally, of course, but that's what made it even funnier. Lucas thought he was making some kind of Godfather in space saga. You can see his pompous belief that he's the most amazing director ever in every scene. It's almost painful, and would be if it wasn't so very, very funny.
Where to start? God, the acting. I've seen trees that were less wooden. And the worst person of all was Hayden, who was supposed to be menacing and dangerous but just came off as whiny and spoiled. The plot - there was a plot somewhere in there? Don't believe it. Yes, Jar Jar was amazingly annoying, but he was only the worst example. Yoda was almost as bad, pontificating on about the Force until I wanted to smack him upside his little green head. God, poor Ewan actually trying! I felt so bad for him, he had so little to work with. I cringed every time he interacted with Hayden's character. And the romance...appalling. Simply and completely appalling. There is no way a person like Amdala would EVER hook up with someone not only younger than her, but a whiny little brat to boot. She would have ended up mothering him, which is grotesque. All in all, I watch it only for the entertainment value of a good laugh.
