It's Star Wars, and it does just about everything right...

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

To keep this review short and sweet, it's Star Wars, and it does just about everything right. While sometimes I feel odd because I really enjoyed The Phantom Menace, I will say wholeheartedly that this movie surpasses Menace in many ways.
There are a few shortcomings in Clones, as the story hits a few bumps in the road on an otherwise steady course of action and solid dialogue. There are a few scenes where the CGI is slap-you-in-the-face obvious, but for the most part it blends wonderfully with the live action and actors.
One thing that will be hard for people to do is compare this movie to the original Trilogy, which is something I think is not fair. These last two movies (and the one to come) have a very different feel, pacing, and obviously a different style of action. This is not your older brothers Star Wars, but it's still a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
