A predictable waste of time where CGI is the star of the movie!

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2005)

Yet another chapter in the Star Wars Trilogy that showcases the CGI, not the story. I did not care one iota about any of the characters, Lucas even managed to make me hate R2D2!! Yoda's inability to speak just becomes truly irritating. The dialogue was predictable and there were absolutely no surprises. (There are enough holes in the story to fly a Star Destroyer through) George Lucas still insists on sticking it to us and putting in Jar Jar, but at least it wasn't a speaking part! I am taking the time to write this to tell you to save your money. He already has my money from Phantom and Attack of the Clones and now he has it for this special effects fest. At least in the original Star Wars Trilogy you felt a connection to the characters,in the latest three the CGI is the star and the characters and story suffers for it. I didn't think he could do a movie worse than Phantom Menace, guess I was wrong.
