Very very poor

Rating: 4/10 (13 April 2006)

Special effects can't save this story. The convolutions that he had to contrive to get back to the original story where too much and far too unbelievable. The 'transition' effects between the scenes verged on the amateurish to add to a film without a story. Ewen McGregor accent was obviously put on to sound like a young Alec Guiness but sounded more like a world war II RAF squadron leader complete with handle bar moustache. As the film went on I was siding more with the guys on the dark side so lacking was this film for a hero character that you could actually take a liking to. How believable is Yodo all of 11 inches tall taking on the dark lord with a light sabre? The scene on the volcanic planet was another beauty - aren't these guys affected by temperature?? How this film is scoring so high beats me.
