this is one of the worst reviews I have ever read. Just one excerpt says it all:

But it seems as if the condition for assembling this diverse group is not letting them say or do anything of note, anything of any individual distinction, anything of any free-floating or idiosyncratic implication. There’s none of the Shakespearean space politics, enticingly florid dialogue, or experiential thrills of the best of George Lucas’s “Star Wars” entries (“Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”).


Really???? Well, why would we think it could be better than the masterpieces Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith?
