An unpleased fan

Rating: Null/10 (18 May 2002)

It seems that everyone is too optimistic when it comes to this movie.
I went in with an open mind, not looking for a religious experience, or a really bad movie, but came out having seen a really bad movie.

The bad writing shows in the first five minutes, when we're subjected to the "She's not the queen, SHE is!" device used in Episode I. It goes even more downhill from there, giving us one-and-a-half hours of too much boring information, followed by an all-too-long action sequence, which makes the viewer sick. The special effects get tedious, and it starts to look like we're watching someone play a video game.
The love story makes it all even worse, with a 'forbidden love' plot suddenly appearing out of nowhere. If Jedi can't love, how do you get more Jedi? George Lucas is messing up the plot, as you'll see in the movie, and when Episode III comes around, he'll find that he's painted himself into some corners. All in all, it's worth seeing, since it's Star Wars, but new Star Wars movies have no place in this modern world of special effects.
