180 degrees from the first

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2002)

*Spoilers* A lot better than the Phantom Menace. This new Star Wars Lacks the faults that the last one had. Faults such as making the film too focused on impressing kids so they bug their parents to buy Star Wars toys. This film seems darker, more grown up. This film though still has its flaws. The impressive things were the computer effects and the cool character designs. The battle between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett was very disappointing as was the duel between Darth Tyrannus/Anakin and Tyrannus/Obi-Wan. They were much weaker then the Darth Maul Duel.
Although the special effects would rival any movie, it still lacks something that sets in apart from the originals. I felt that they didn't explain enough of the eventual story in this one and left too much lingering at the end. There were also too many slow scenes, too many boring moments and not enough action. Jango Fett dies Darth maul Style as in too easily.
The movie has a lot of mind-blowing visuals and effects and in the first 10 mins is already better then the Phantom Menace. Still it was not as good as I thought it would be. Definately not as good as the originals. 8 out of 10
