Good guys wear white, bad guys wear black...

Rating: Null/10 (3 March 1999)

...and that's just the beginning of the clichés. I knew I was in for it when I saw the opening sequence, "in a far away galaxy...". I'm just glad I saw it in a Greek theatre for about a buck. The plot was so predictable I knew how it would turn out by the time the opening sequence had ended.
It has MARKETING stamped all over it. You just knew that squealing garbage can and the gold guy and the furry chewing tobacco thing would all dominate the shelves of Toys 'R Us. The "plot" is the same old Flash Gordon crap that's been rehashed over and over again since the 30's.
The one and only redeeming quality lies in the technical achievement. But then, I can watch one of the "Making of..." documentaries to get that.
Okay, I know a LOT of people liked it, and that's fine. Personally, I felt REALLY manipulated, which always rubs me the wrong way...
