possibly the best

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2005)

despite popular criticism, star wars 2 is a very good film suffering from having to deal with a difficult to please fan-base. Fans of the old trilogy are hanging on to an irrational and nostalgic memory, if Lucas made the new trilogy literally like the others they simply wouldn't cut it by todays standards and most people know this. Whilst some of Lucas' ideas are a bit off, he and his production team nevertheless know how to make a film, and regrettably until someone passes that knowledge to the fans, you will always have this kind of discrepancy between expectation and fulfilment. I personally like empire strikes back the most, followed by this one. But then I am bias cos i fancy Anakin :) I was disappointed by Revenge of the Sith tho.
