George Lucas made mistakes, but learnt from old ones

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2008)

In 1999, the long awaited prequel came out of Star Wars and to many, it disappointed. The film was not like any other Star Wars films, it had the comic relief character of Jar Jar Binks and many overlong scenes like the race scene and the Political Debate.
But when this one came out, there was the promise that fans would like this one and it would make up for the first one, but alas, this was not the case as fans still heavily criticized the movie.
In my opinion, I thought the movie was A lot better then Episode 1, George Lucas learnt from his mistake of overlong scenes and, to my delight Jar Jar Binks only had a very small cameo in the movie and he only appeared for less then 5 minutes.
On the Dark Side of the film, it had too many one liners (I did like the mind reading scene though) and it kind of got boring while leading up to its final conclusion. The film was quite interesting though and it did not take very long for it to get out of its uninteresting slump.
I am still yet unsure whether fans don't like the prequels because of heavy expectations, respect to the originals, whether they actually hate the movie or they just want to agree with people and try to make some semi real friends.
Overall, this film is a great watch for fans of the original trilogy and to all fans who ACTUALLY hated the Episode 1. I rate this film 73%.
