Not quite up to Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi, but as good as A New Hope and much better than the Phantom Menace.

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

Very gripping film. Blows away Episode I. Perhaps the most dramatic of any Star Wars film, well acted by all. Excellent use of comic relief (though C-3PO uses puns a little too much) far better than non-stop Jar-Jar in Episode I. Overall, very, very good.
