Lost Innocence

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2002)

I cannot believe the rating given this overblown special effect laden nonsense. The people who voted for this surely cannot be older than 4 or 5. The original three films, though increasingly pushing forward the ILM technology, never lost that wonderful interplay between the characters, and they were generally people you cared about. As pretty as she is, Natalie Portman's princess has none of the fiestiness of Leia. Ewan Macgregor is completely wasted as many of his one-liners just don't hit the mark probably due to acting to a blue screen continuously. We miss the wit of Harrison Ford and to be quite honest there is no "baddie" to touch Darth Vader. Darth Maul looked the part but he was taken out at the end of Menace. Roll on the Two Towers.
