More of the same (and not in a good way)

Rating: Null/10 (4 October 2004)

After the disappointing Phantom Menace, people seem to be more enthusiastic about this one. I, however, think it's just more of the same that made ep. 1 so bad.
The incessant overuse of CGI makes the film look like a video game, which isn't very much fun if you cannot control what's going on yourself. The characters are still boring, and the acting and dialogue feels stilted and forced.
Is AOTC a better film than Menace? Well, perhaps - had I seen this one first I would probably have thought so. But as it is now I was so bored of seeing the same thing again, that I considered not finishing the film. As for episode 3 - Lucas is going to have to put on a really spectacular show if he wants to redeem himself (though it seems painfully clear that he wont be able to pull that off). [1/10]
