ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2002)

Episode II is an absolutely stunning film. I loved Episode I and was even more impressed with the next installment. Hayden Christensen does an excellent job in portraying the anger and hatred of a young and impressionable Anakin. I was truly impressed with him.

This film feels much more connected to the original trilogy as well, with much more foreshadowing of events to come and a wonderful score by John Williams that incorporates more of the original music. You leave the theater waiting for more. I hope that George Lucas has something great in mind to conclude this trilogy because it will be hard to top the final 45 minutes of this movie. He does open up a lot of questions and will really need to tie things together with the original trilogy.
As far as special effects go, the film is visually stunning. The effects are much more seamless than Episode I and the final battle is outstanding. Fans of the original trilogy who did not like Episode I will have their faith renewed and those who did like Episode I will like this movie even more.
One final word... Yoda rules... enough said!!!
