Star Wars is back on Track!!!

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2002)

Attack of the Clones puts Star Wars back on the Map!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It is a very, visually stunning movie, and the plot moves along, smoother then any Star Wars movie to date. While there may not be an acting performance worthy of an Academy Award, this does not hinder the movie one bit. As with all Star Wars movies, there are bits in this movie that may get annoying at times, but there is so much more that makes you forget these small flaws.
Jar Jar Binks, the Gungan outcast that annoyed many fans in the Phantom Menace, returns to his role, though he is only given mabye ten minutes of screen time. He still has his annoying tone, which may make one cringe for a moment or two, but just as he gets under your skin, the scene changes. There are a few really goofy one liners in this movie, but again, they will be forgotten as the movie moves so quickly, you hardly notice.
After viewing this film, it makes you appreciate the Phantom Menace a lot more. I truly enjoyed The Phantom Menace, but this movie just blows it away. This movie will take several viewings, in order to catch all of the action. So much is going on during the final battle, between the Republic, and the Separatists, that you just cannot see everything. One thing I really loved, was the return of the magic between our lovable droid duo, C-3PO and R2-D2. While some of the dialogue between the two becomes a bit much, it takes us back in time to the original trilogy. After watching this movie, I am sure you will be transported back to the Star Wars universe we have come to love for the past two decades.
