Slightly Flawed but still a Force to be reckoned with!

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2002)

I won't go into plot details here. I have only 2 problems with Episode II. While I think Hayden Christensen does a great job, his character was written with a bit too much petulance for me. If his personality was a little more Hans Solo and a little bit less Luke, I could have seen Padme falling for him.
The only other complaint I have about the movie is Padme's hair and clothes changes, especially on Tatooine. Anakin is searching for his mother and she changes into another outfit and rebraids her hair. I think she did it again after the memorial.
I'm a bit confused about one thing, too. Dooku tells Obi-Wan that he wants Obi-Wan to join him against the Sith. Would he so blatantly lie to Obi-Wan and expect to get away with it? Possibly I missed something. It was a bit hard to follow, but I'm sure that repeat viewings will clear this up for me.
Overall, an excellent movie.
