A carnival of technology

First off, you should know that I own this movie on DVD. When I saw it in the theater I found it relatively entertaining, which just goes to show you how WRONG first impressions can be. I laughed myself silly this time around. I had completely forgotten about the star wipes (btw, doesn’t Lucas have a patent on those things?) It’s unecessarily long, and it’s the kind of length you feel deep down in the pit of your stomach…that queasy, uncomfortable feeling one gets when you watch a movie you know people spent millions of dollars to make and then probably drank themselves to death after it bombed.

At least shit blows up. That gives the movie an automatic 2 points, especially since these are expensive explosions. Unfortunately, the addition of a bloated John Travolta automatically deducts 5 points from ANY movie, so my final verdict is a -3/10.
