Tedious beyond compare

Rating: 2/10 (2 July 2004)

Perhaps it had a great ending but the stilted dialogue, clumsy structure and mindless use of clever-clogs effects tried my patience so much that I will never know. I eventually snapped during a seemingly endless battle sequence structured mainly around showing us how clever George Lucas and his geeks were to create incredible mega-vistas and lots and lots of very big CG war machines and robots. This is the first film I have ever walked out of.
Pointless. The absolute proof, when compared to the original Star Wars films, that less is more.
Avoid it.
