Star Wars is for fans only.

Rating: 9/10 (18 May 2002)

Episode 2 goes on to confirm that the Star Wars universe can only be appreciated by fans only. I liked Episode 2. I liked Episode 1 as well. In fact I watched Ep1 3x in the cinema and never once got bored with it. I liked the characters in both Ep1 and Ep2. I didn't think Jar Jar Binks was annoying. In fact without him Ep1 would have been really dull (Ep 4,5 and 6 had C-3PO to provide the fun factor why not Jar Jar for Ep1 considering C-3PO only had a minor role in Ep1). I think the acting was good. Typical Star Wars. No nonsense, polite (compared to movies these days). The story is well told and I dare say the ending was one of the only few movies this past year that raised a few Oh I see.... Example: And I thought Count Dooku was..... Oh I didn't expect him to...... And what do you know, both sides were...... And that's why he did it. He wanted to.... This is what happened to me in the end. Truely rare. The only other movie that came close to it was Sixth Sense. I really don't understand critics these days. In fact I think people should always remember the critics name and institution he/she from when reading such critics. Why? I guarantee that the same person would have gone to the cinema and criticised 8 out of 10 movies he/she is supposed to review. It has its faults I admit but waw is that bad till some critics gave it a D???? If it got a D, then almost all other films out there should have gotten a Z. Special effects criticised. Too computer based. Well whether all the critics like it or not, this is the future of Science Fiction.
Again this is a movie strictly for fans and people who like the Star Wars type. This movie is great. Why? It brings into reality all the things fans have always wanted to see. Coruscant. The origins of Stormtroopers, the origins of Boba Fett, the origins of the Death Star!!, what was it like in the Republic times. What was the Jedi Council like and many other things. I gave it a 9/10 because in my opinion no movie can ever get 10/10. No movie is perfect so for those critics out there, if you ain't Star Wars fan, you won't understand the magic and you're missing something truly great.
