Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

I just got back from seeing episode 2 and i have my pros and my cons but for anyone not wanting to read that much, here's the short version AOTC is now my favorite Star Wars Movie.
SPOILERS contained in review.
Still there...Ok first the pros 1. The chase through coruscant after the Assassin. Jango Fett's small but important appearance. The attempted assassination had the young lady with me squirming as the bugs looked disgusting. (Great sequence) 2.The back and forth banter between Obi Wan and Anakin. I hated Christensen not because of his whininess or bad acting, but because he was such an arrogant prick. Worked incredibly well to show where his path was taking him. 3.The investigation...it provided a nice contrast to a Jedi doing his duty and a learner disobeying. 4.Yoda and the kids, to quote my girlfriend "That scene was so cute" I have to agree 5.Rain battle 6.Asteroid Battle 7.Tatooine and the scene i was prepared to hate became one of my favorites when Anakin confesses to killing men, women and children, thank God Natalie Portman didn't say anything as it would've wrecked the mood.
8.Count Dooku, Yoda and Mace Windu were incredible though i do wish the light sabre battle at the end had been longer. Yoda was kicking ass. 9.MAJOR SPOILER
The Death Star Plans
10.At the point that they're about to enter the Arena when Padme confesses her love, incredible acting. 11.Jar Jar we've been given another reason to hate you
The Cons 1.Capt. Typh0 was dull 2.The love story progressed to quickly and Natalie Portman's acting was terrible during certain scenes.
Overall an incredible movie, the best star wars to date...oh and The Matrix Reloaded teaser in front, If only this summer had included Reloaded as well..
