With each new dismissal of a Star Wars movie, the reviews grow harsher. The animated Star Wars The Clone Wars is beingness shot depressed by critics as if it were a fair game in video game -- with which it is being compared. Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times says that producer George Lucas has reduced the franchise "to the tier of Saturday-morning animation." It is, he writes, "a deadening film that cuts corners on its vitality and slumbers through a plot that (a) makes us feel like we've seen it all in front, and (b) makes us wish we hadn't." Joe Neumaier in the New York Daily News regards the film as "the latest indignity" to Star Wars fans. Linda Barnard in the Toronto Star comments that Lucas has "whored out the much-loved Star Wars saga." And while some critics suggest that small children may enjoy the film, Jason Anderson in the Toronto Globe & Mail warns, "parents crataegus oxycantha be rattled by the film's relentless violence." But Nathan Lee actually gives the movie a left-handed compliment in the New York Times , writing that it "comes as something of a surprise it isn't the most painful movie of the year!" Likewise Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel writes that it is "in reality better than expected." And writing in the Los Angeles Times , Michael Ordo�a grants that "there's kO animation, facsimiles of popular characters and plenty of action. But anyone elderly than 8 with the majority of brain functions intact testament have a bad feeling about this."
