... but the new Star Wars movie is actually worse than the last two. In fact, a strong contender for the title of Worst Movie Ever Made. I mean, how is it possible to make a light sabre fight dull? and how many hands can you reasonably cut off in the course of a single movie? It was so bad, if I'd been alone, I'd have walked out after the first 30 minutes (which is something I never do); so bad that I needed to watch Diamonds are Forever when I got home to try to wipe it out of my mind...

I know there will be those who disagree with me (erm... seems like most of the people who rated this on IMDB), but I suspect they're either fans who are so obsessed by the trivial little details that they didn't notice the atrocious script and half-hearted effects, or teenage girls who think that Hayden Christensen is strong and manly rather than merely teak.

A real pity - cos the ads made it look so good, and the plot had so much potential... *sigh!*
