Horribly overrated...The false God of cinema

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2003)

WARNING: Possible spoilers

Personally I can't stand this movie. Everything about it is an eye-sore , the acting, the special effects, everything. I've heard people criticize the Matrix because the thought it was implausible and that the acting was sub-par and yet most of the those same people say that Star Wars is one of the best films ever made. I can't understand this, I fail to see how the acting of Star Wars is so much better than that of the Matrix. Then there is the plausibility of the Star Wars plot-line, I find it very hard to believe that a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away there happen to be humans that speak English and have psychic powers. One other thing that is a little less than believable it the concept of a "Light-saber", these crystal powered swords produce a laser beam blade that can cut through the toughest of materials, it isn't the damage that this Light-saber does that I find implausible is the fact that the blade of the Light-saber is a laser. Anybody that made it past 5th grade should know that laser light does not magically stop 3 ft above its point of origin (like in this film) and that it is not a solid force that ricochets off of other beams of light.
In my opinion you would be better of with Star Trek which actually has some shred of theoretical possibility, because when I see a Sci-Fi that I really like it usually has one thing...SCIENCE! I'm not even going to honor the movie with a grade.

very disappointing
