The Force is strong with this one!

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2002)

At last! After the childish Episode I, the Star Wars saga is back on track with this one. The plot is more complex than it might appear at first glance and the dark side of the force has regained the appeal it had in The Empire Strikes Back by seducing young and handsome Anakin Skywalker. I believe that this movie can also be more appreciated by non-Star-Wars-fans for it almost does without of the "fans only" material so frequent in Episode I. My only remark is that the gravity of Anakin's seduction might not be clear enough for non fans for there is no previous discussion of the power of the dark side. Ah, and I live near lake Como where the love scenes between Anakin and Padme were shot. Please have some envy...
