The Force Will Be With Us...ALWAYS!

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

When I first say the trailer for Star Wars Episode II, I said to myself "I can't believe this will be a Funny Girl meets Independence Day". Although I loved each of these films I hated the idea of turning Star Wars into a romance with a little bit of action. But this trailer is by far one of the bests I've ever seen. It shows nothing on it. It doesn't let us know what the movie is about, it doesn't let us know anything about the characters...anything. Not like the trailer of AMERICAN PIE II where you can see the whole movie in 1minute and 35 seconds. With this I mean that the movie was a total surprise for me. Not only i loved it but it was also very emotional for me...watching Amidala hugging Anakin...and the music swells, and...I think this movie was made with "The" Star Wars magic, unlike EPISODE I, which was quite boring and quite intensive...4 wars at the same time...give the Force a break. With Episode II, Star Wars rise again, with great classic touches from the original episodes, to great new adventures and a great script in my opinion. I can't deny however how sad it was, for me at least. I think the best performance on the movie is Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, played by Ian McDiarmid. What I liked the most about the film is the scenes, moments, places and language that made me remind of the old movies. It was the greatest Dejá vu moment i have ever had in the silver screen. It was indeed an amazing movie. Now I know, the force will be with us...ALWAYS!
