Good Flick

Rating: 10/10 (1 June 2002)

I thought it was good. I know having such a young major character did not help the ratings on this film. The worst part of the whole thing is nobody really cares how Darth Vader came to be except psychologists. The only downer part from the original 3 Star Wars was when we see Vader take his mask off. Now we have to watch 3 films about his childhood.
Still, Star Wars is still great. Amidala, Qui gon, Obi, and the capes are all interesting. The underwater world, the race, and Darth Maul are cool. Portman's sincerity as an actress shines. Jar Jar makes the young ones happy, lets give him a break.
Hate the metaclorian stuff but liked the "your under arrest." The new Attack of the Clones jumps all over the place and has no real story, little fun, and overpopulated but it is still Star Wars. I give Phantom the edge and I am totally sick of seeing the long faced masked clones in 2 films. I would like to have seen Amidala take out a 357 magnum and blow Dooku away.

Could it be true that Dooku is actually Vader and the Vader we saw killed in the old series was just a clone to fool luke. Vader may return in episode 7 and Hans Solo (Harrison Ford will come back to play Hans). Episode 7 will be called Vader Lives.
