dreadful

Rating: 1/10 (23 May 2005)

Lucas now seems to be the dullest director working in stuff that isn't straight to video. I nodded off during one of the "dialogue" scenes. Admit it everyone who saw it this was boring as sin. Some of the most wooden acting ever with the worst lines. Once upon a time this stuff was fun that didn't take itself too seriously, now its a pompous long winded bore. What happened to humour in this sort of thing. Endless blather about democracy, the republic etc don't amount to any actual subtext or significance in the whole steaming pile of overcooked twaddle. Annakin must be the least convincing tortured hero ever. He seems in a permanent schoolboy strop. I would guess he wont be getting too many big budget acting jobs. Possibly modelling hoodies? The action is so frenetic as to be confusing and one is always aware that you are watching a cartoon or super video game. Give it a rest now George!
