Roger Ebert, one of the most respected film critics of all time, says even though their could have been more character interest in the film, it is a remarkable achievement, a marriage of imagination and special effects, and his thumb is up with a lot of admiration.

Mark Hamill Can’t Believe How Intensely People Bashed the Star Wars Prequels

This movie had Darth Maul, and you say Jar Jar was the best part of it? Seeker, I'm worried about you. Are you sleeping well? Do you need a latte? Let's rap a while.
