Attack of the clones has the empire strikes back feel...

Rating: 9/10 (8 May 2002)

I saw this film at the press screening on May 7th with the Houston Chronicle, several online zines and the paper I work for The Collegian, a college newspaper. Not only did I see possibly the greatest summer movie but also I made contacts. For that I thank you George Lucas.
Anyway in the original trilogy number 5 The Empire strikes back is known to be the darkest of the films with hope being almost lost. In this film it is similar except the Jedi do not know it yet, but you as the viewer knowing 4,5,6 will see it right away. Hayden the kid who played Anikin Skywalker has done a great job with this role. HE acts extremely similar to the kid from the first, which makes us believe he is Anakin. And let me just say this...there is good reason why no one messes with Yoda. Jango Fett is a little disappointing in this film but he does shape Boba Fett and it shows this relationship which is very interesting.
The last 45 minutes are by far the greatest display of eye candy ever presented in a sci-fi movie...as a writer and a fan..Lucas gives us what we always wanted...Lots and Lots of Jedi fighting side by side. This is in my opinion the greatest of the star wars saga and all I can say is if you don't watch this film, whether you like star wars or not you will be missing out on a piece of movie history.
