What a waste of time

Rating: 5/10 (4 March 2006)

We knew where we came from (Episode II). We knew where we was going to (Episode IV). Lucas just needed nothing except writing a nice movie!! And he fails completely. We can't understand how Anakin moves from a hip-hop Jedi to a Dark Master of the Force. Yeah he loves her wife (by the way, he really does it?) The love story is not fully explained. The travel to the dark side is not fully explained (How can he kill children as a regular mission for his master when a few minutes ago he was hesitating about everything?). Obi Wan jumps the hyperspace a dozen times for achieving NOTHING. The storm-troops are top-sadists. There's a sight of real cinema when we see Anakin's frightened , the black mask approaching his body, facing his personal jail. But Hayden Christensen is not David Prowse and the magic disappears immediately when he stands on his mechanic feet... just like anyone else in a cheap disguise. The best of all? Jar-Jar Binks appears a few seconds. 5 of 10? Yes, because there's the greater technical talent on the movie, but the worst respect for a nice story in the script.
