The return of Star Wars!

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

Much like many others I did not like Star Wars : the Phantom Menace that much, because it was made like a Disney film, and Jar Jar Binks should have been a main character in one of their mainstream films. Star Wars : The Phantom Menace was nice visually, but except from that it was not that great.
With this in mind, I went to the Danish premier (and world premier) at 00.01 to see the sequel, The Attack Of the Clones, and from the very first moment I knew this was going to be an unforgettable moment!
Star Wars 2 : The Attack of the Clones is a spectacular film that gives us answers to a lot of questions, and with a script so much greater than 'the Phantom Menace'. I liked that Samuel L. Jackson and Yoda this time play a bigger role in the film, as well as Jangoo Fett and his son Boba Fett is introduced.
Hayden Christensen as the brilliant, arrogant Anakin Skywalker is very impressive! His role is difficult, but yet the actor acts with perfection, and makes Anakin a complete character. Very good.
Nathalie Portman as the beautiful Senator Amidala is also great. She is a very nice woman, but unlike many Hollywood beauties, she CAN actually act. Some might complain about the scenes when she is wearing white clothes and you almost can see right through... but I will not!
Ewan Mcgregor is good once again, and stupid Jar Jar Binks plays a little, insignificant role, so everything is in order there!
"What is Saruman doing in Star Wars?" one of my friends asked. I could not answer him, but it is amazing that Christopher Lee, in the film seen in the role of the evil Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus. Christopher Lee is a very great actor, and even though I still see Saruman from LOTR in front of me when I hear the name Christopher Lee, I like that he is now a part of the Star Wars universe.
I am not going telling you much about the film, but go see it, and enjoy the surprises you will get, especially the one at the end of the film!
Grade : 9/10 - no film beats LOTR, but this is close race!
STAR WARS IS BACK AND WHAT A COMEBACK, George Lucas!!!!
