A vast imporovement on the turgid kiddie flick EPISODE I

Rating: 8/10 (22 May 2002)

I really got into this film, despite its almost 3 hour length. Similarily with Episode 5, The Empire Strikes Back, this film bridges the storyline of a trilogy, oozing a darker, edgier tone.
Lucas clearly has woken up to the fact that the majority of SW fans are not kids(even if they were first time around) and thus do not want a kids' film. The action and violence are increased accordingly, and all that remains id for Jar-Jar to be brutally murdered in Episode III.
Wonderful ending sequence, lasts upwards of 20 minutes , and this definately makes the film stand out. The dialogue still sucks to high hell sadly. Lucas sadly has not let his betters take care of this area, ignoring Harrison Fords advice of 25 years ago.
Overall I would recommend this film.
