George Lucas has been forgiven of all sins for Episode I.

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

To quote one of my favorite video game squirrels: "Oh my giddy aunt...." In my opinion, Episode II had it a little easier than Episode I did. Wheras Episode I was having to live up to the untouchable classic 3, Episode II merely had to rise above the fetid steaming pile that was Episode I. But by no means is this an inferior movie. EVERY SINGLE ASPECT is bettered by Episode II. Acting, Special Effects, Plot....the list is long. But one of the biggest differences in this movie (in my opinion) is that this movie seems a little more..."human" if you will. No stiff acting, or impassive emotions- this is a movie ABOUT emotions. The classic Star Wars humor also makes a much deserved inclusion as well. George Lucas has been forgiven. Also, on a side note: Rumor has it that Samuel L Jackson has BMF engraved on his lightsaber. After seeing this movie, I think most will agree with me when I say: Yoda should have the BMF engraved on his lightsaber. Never before have I witnessed a scene in a movie with a bigger mix of emotions- fond nostalgia, absurd hilarity, and complete reverence for the arse-kicking skills of Master Yoda. Go see it.
