Much Better than THE PHANTOM MENACE

Rating: 7/10 (25 August 2003)

Finally a new STAR WARS film that was fun to watch. This film is quite the exciting action-adventure epic thrill ride with twinges of political intrigue, romance, war action and even some monsters thrown into the mix as well. While it doesn't measure up to the original trilogy in terms of getting us to feel and care for its characters and is hampered by the fact that we know certain characters will survive whatever threat may befall them, it still manages to engross the viewer in its wonders. Gives me renewed hope for Episode III.
