Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

As heartbreaking as this sounds, I was VERY disappointed in Episode II!!! Although the movie had SOME decent action sequences and excellent special effects, and a HILARIOUS quote from Obi, (You're going to be the death of me, Anakin.."), the movie falls short on several counts:
1) The characters are one-dimensional: We go from Padme telling Anakin he's practically a dork @ the beginning of the movie to her suddenly revealing she's in love w/him @ the end....PLEASE MR LUCAS!!!
2) The dialog is HORENDOUS: Even the kids will barf @ that line 3-PO uses when he amputated head is being driven away..."Life can be a drag...I'm beside myself"
3) Much of the first half is too slow & drawn-out & booged down in dull dialog, using word & phrases most people DON'T use.
4) The lightsaber duel @ the end between Dooku vs Obi & Anakin & Yoda was good, but WAY TOO SHORT!!! I was expecting a full, drawn out, 20 minute epic.
