THE FILM'S COOL, BUT COOL MOMENTS ARE NOT EXPANDED!!!

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

Well folks, I have just returned from the premiere here in Riga and if I might say it in one word - THE FILMS IS FANTASTIC. The early critics and press that said that the force is STRONG with this one were right! Completely! Or Almost... But first the good bits: A) The film completely satisfies both in term of action, eye candy and just everything you hear and see. B) It's definately stronger than PHANTOM MENACE and it really shows to a die hard STAR WARS fan, what a good star wars movie can be. This film definately worth seeing. I try to avoid spoilers, but there were just everything you, a star wars fan need: lots of action, cool fx, the scale of everything is fantastic, the love story behind is great. You'll love the moments when you see Jango Fett vs. Obi Wan. You'll love fighting Joda as much as fighting Samuel L. Jackson. Good acting of Hayden Christensen, now showing his anger and probably future look of Darth Vader (hope this is not a spoiler). Despite the fact that this movie rules 100%, something is missing and it's very difficult to say what. 1) When you leave the movie, you get the feeling that it's incomplete, and it seems this way, as Joda say his final line, like it should be more of it. 2) All the cool things in the movie are not very long and you don't have enough time to enjoy the coolness of a certain moment. For example the Jango Fett fight or finale lighsaber duel - THEY ARE GOOD, but they seems to be short, far too short. They should have been more expanded. I love them and for me there is not enough time given to them. I could give more examples. 3) The whole movie you wait for something big, and when it seems to be coming- the movie ends. So that's of a minor complaints. But heck, bollocks to complaints. Go and see the movie! It's still rules.
