better than Phantom Menace, But that's not saying much

Rating: 2/10 (16 May 2002)

I was completely and utterly, thoroughly disgusted with Phantom Menace. However, George Lucas has redeemed himself somewhat.
The major downside to this movie, is that it is sad to see that this movie is not the first in the new Star Wars trilogy. Hayden Christensen is Anakin, a Not great character but better than the boy in Episode I...
The music is excellent, and some scenes made my mouth open wide in amazement, whilst others chilled me
Overall I did not like it. Why? Because: bad acting, stunted dialogue, boring plot... It's got one good part. The part where they get put in the coliseum. Count dooku is OK. Flying/jumping Yoda is silly and the overuse of cgi makes it look fake
