Sorry--this movie has more holes in its plot and direction than Normandie Beach on D-Day

Rating: 1/10 (28 September 2005)

The wooden dialogue--understood, given the dreadful, 3rd grade level script; and the totally implausible situations--the fight on the lava flow with its "flaming" conclusion was a real hoot!--make this one of the worst SciFi films I've ever seen.
But then it was downhill from the original Star Wars, which had the grace to not take itself seriously, except to be SERIOUSLY fresh and original: the best SciFi film I've ever seen.
In conclusion, this film's popularity can be explained only on the basis of the momentum of the series. Who, having seen the other five, could not attend Star Wars 3, albeit to be rushed to a final resolution because the producers et al were apparently bored to tears with it? Me, too.
Jar Jar Binks rules!
