My favorite movie!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2002)

I've been a Star Wars fan, and I have to say that this movie exceeded all my expectations, and that's a lot because my expectations were verrry high! Even if I weren't a fan, it would still be #1 on my list.
As amazing as the special effects were, I was more into the story. I'm obviously in the minority when I say that I was moved by Anakin and Padme's love story. Anakin is growing in his love for Padme as she realizes her feelings for him. They are slowly falling in love, aware of the repercussions of their union. Meanwhile, Obi-wan is solving the mystery behind the assassination attempts and the cloners on Kamino who are under the orders of Jedi Master Sifo-Dyas to build an army for the republic. The enigmatic scenes on Kamino and Geonosis kept me on the edge of my seat.
The arena battle scenes on Geonosis are nothing short of spectacular. Obi-Wan, Padme and Anakin face the Acklay, Nexu and Reek. When the outcome seems hopeless, Mace Windu and his cavalry of Jedi come and start an all out battle against the Kaminoans and battle droids. I won't go any further, because the rest is something that you just HAVE TO WATCH!
It would be a crime to rate this movie less than a 10, because it does everything a film is supposed to do; tell a story and bring it on the big screen with great dialogue and great characters. George Lucas did a terrific job!
