Thinking to use The Force to sell toys?
20 June 1999
The film is so-so. it takes a lot of scenes from the other movies of the saga (IV, V and VI), and from other movies chariots race scenes in "Ben Hur". In the end I think the result is good, but I'm always wondering if it could been a little more consistent. The only plot interesting I can see is the plans and moves from a man who plays with the lives of thousands (humans or not) in search of absolute power. This is a film full of FX's in all splendor, but is sad that they don't make any advance to improve the storytelling, as other people comments I must say that many sequences of this movie are aimed to make video games and action figures. Other movie makers aim at this target and learned (I hope), that if you don't care the plot of the film in the first place you will have a LET DOWN, and then you can kiss goodbye to the revenues of the film-marketing. But we have another 2 films in the horizon, I hope things go up. The entertaining sequences to me were the battle of the Jedis, and the battle of Jar Jar Binks and his people against the droids.
