Attack of the critics

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

SO Ep2 rolls around and as usual with anything Lucas does, theres lovers of it and the haters. The film in my eyes delivered the goods, I mean an army of Jedi going toe to toe with so many bad guys cant be a bad thing can it? And of course Yoda vs Dooku, worth the ticket price alone. McGregor, now settled into the role of Obi-Wan, did a good job of turning himself into Sir Alec Guiness, something most people thought he'd struggle to do. Ok so some of the plot is ermmm a bit lacking, maybe George has other things up his sleeve for Ep3 that us mere mortals arent to know about yet, and yes I hold my hand up some of the dialogue was a bit iffy at times, but hey thats Star Wars, cast your mind back to Harrison Ford saying to George Lucas on the set of a New Hope " George you can write that s***, but we cant say it" says it all really , but it worked and thats all that matters. Jango Fett was superb and he'll be back for the next film and it was nice to see the cameo of Boba, and I'm sure theres a social commentry somewhere about single parents familys being happy. Fair enough. This IS a good film, and I am sure once people see the whole finished article( EPs I, II, II) there will be few complaints and the Trilogy will stand on its own two feet alongside the Classic trilogy. And to all the people who just wanna oput this film down and say they could do better, just ask yourself.......whos idea was this?
Its Georges vision and ideas that made all of this possible, if you can do better, i suggest you go out and do so instead of sitting bitching. Roll on Episode III
