This movie rocks!!!

Rating: 9/10 (20 May 1999)

Let me just say, the critics obviously have a bug lodged somewhere when it comes to this franchise. I found this movie fast paced, and visually stunning. Honestly, did Lucas ever promise anything more than a wild ride? Did he say a lot about famous death scenes (Braveheart)or famous love scenes (Titanic)? NO! He promised us a special effect laden Star Wars Episode, and he delivered it. I had a blast watching it, and will see it many more times. If I remember, reviews of the first Star Wars was less than positive. Look how that turned out. Without a grand mythology for our technically and scientifically based society, it is a pleasure to be able to see out knights, and princesses. Our dragons and Sorcery. Now its just used in a futuristic fashion. Plus Lucas even placed a conspiracy for X-File fans. Go see the movie, ignore the critics.
