The Beginning of the fall of the series

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2002)

The first half of this movie is exceptional. The second half-however, presages the current, slow demise of the series. It is here we see the first ever 1 hour theatrical commercial. The series looses all cohesiveness, the characters become far too trite, and marketing takes place above all else. C'mon George, make movies, not commercials. On a scale of 1-10, 5 for the first half, 0 for the second half, for a total of 5 pts.
