Stars Wars, Back on Track

Rating: 8/10 (20 June 2002)

** minor spoilers** After a slight downfall with the Phantom Menace, George Lucas and Co. get back on track with Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The love story was extremely dissapointing, and it didn't develop much at all. The action was solid, as was the special effects. Hayden Christiansen performed solidly, as did Natalie Portman. I especially enjoyed the ending of the film, although it was abrupt. Although the second trilogy so far is lacking compared to the original (second), this film is very entertaining. Episode III should be the best one yet out of this new trilogy.
Rating: 8/10 ( high 8 )
