The story we've waited to see...

Rating: 7/10 (19 May 2002)

After being a huge Star Wars fan since I was old enough to walk, it's no surprise that I saw Star Wars Episode II in it's entirety within it's first 3 days of release 3 times. I saw Episode I 3 times too, just in over 4 months instead of 3 days. Needless to say, Episode II jumps leaps and bounds over Episode I. This is the Star Wars movie everyone has wanted to see. Star Wars was meant to be dark, and best when darkest (ex. The Empire Strikes Back), and Episode II is the start of a dark era in the series, and if done as it truly should be, Episode III should make things downright evil. While "Attack of the Clones" isn't a good point for outstanding dialogue, it is a story to be told, and one that is visual nirvana. You see Anakin going bad, Jango Fett and the origin of Boba Fett, and yes, you finally will get to see Yoda fight! What more can a Star Wars fan ask for?
