The love story feels forced, the rest is astonishing

Rating: 9/10 (30 November 2006)

What a ride of a movie. Episode 2 breaks loose a little bit this time and it gives you an amazing ride, mostly. What is so difficult about this movie's character relationship is that those feel forced, like if they knew already as we do that sooner or later they will end up in episodes 4,5,6. You know that Anakin soon or later will get it on with Padme, and the actors know that and we know that, but most of their scenes feel so forced that i find myself laughing at one of the most corning love dialogs in movie history.
Fortunately, the love story isn't everything this movie has to offer. Episode 2 brings you some action sequences that surpass the complexity and excitement of episode 1, including an amazing pursuit on Courscant, a chase on asteroid field, an amazing action sequence on a droid factory, and the last and best thing the start of the clone wars.
The visuals on this movie are one of the best thing on this episode, they haunt your eyes and never let you go, showing you some new worlds and old ones but from a different perspective. I have to say that this movie feels long on it's running time, it could've been use some editing here and there, that's because since the last action sequence until the clone wars there's a large amount of time, most of it spending on main plot elements, that although necessary to the overall trilogy plot, they about put you to sleep as they are so unexciting; but wait until the climax with Yoda that scene, steals the whole show and it's worth the admission ticket.
A very good episode, as good as episode 1, in some ways better, but not as good as the old ones, that's impossible. 9 out of 10.
