Disappointed again...

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2002)

I was hoping that I was going to enjoy Episode II considerably more than I did Episode I. I'm afraid that wasn't the case.
I found the first 1/2 to 2/3 of the movie to be almost painful to watch at times. I normally can be appeased by special effects and eye candy, but even these were lacking. I think that Lucas tried to hard to animate everything and just couldn't get that amount of work done given budet/time restraints. I was more impressed with the special effects during the last 1/3 of the movie though.
If you are a Star Wars fan, you should go see it... who could resist?... but I don't think I will be paying to see this one a second time in the theatres.
