You've got to see it!

Rating: 10/10 (11 May 2002)

I had the pleasure of watching Star Wars: Episode II at a premiere here in Malaysia. I must say its another masterpiece of George Lucas storytelling. Unlike Episode I, the new movie delved into the Star Wars saga, the rise and fall of Anakin Skywalker. There are some surprising moments and revelations in this new movie to tell it now, its like telling Darth Vader was Luke's father on the premiere of Empire Strike Back. All I can say is that the movie will draw the audience slowly into the deepening plot in the first 30 minutes, bear with it, because I suppose it has to be dramatic, and its all about the characters. From then on, its all light sabers clashing and starfighters dog-fighting in the universe that George Lucas conjours out like magic.
