Can that Lucas guy direct or what??

Rating: 7/10 (21 May 1999)

Two years ago, when I heard that the new Prequel to Star Wars was being made, I thought to myself, "HHHmmmmm...What an interesting idea. But there is no way it can be as good as the originals." I was an ignorant human being that day. It took about ten minutes before I was totally hooked and believing that this movie was just as amazing as the original Star Wars was the first time I saw it! With George Lucas behind the camera you are guaranteed a good show, and he comes through once again on this film. His characters seem to lose something among all the puppets and digitally created shots, but the story, as well as the acting, is as good as it could be! The Star Wars theme is just as memorable as before, and you walk out of the theater humming the tune with a smile on your face and the memory of a great movie in your mind!
