Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

I got a chance to see Episode II last night, and let me tell you, I wasn't disappointed. I would see things that were absent in the Phantom Menace, for example, the presence of humour, and the storyline that we all remember from the original Trilogy. Does this film compare to any of the old films? No, it doesn't.
There is only one part that I am opposed to, and that was the quality of the love scenes. I believe that the love scenes contained one cliche after another, and all the usual lines from all other cliched romance movies, however we must understand that Mr. Lucas had to put them in there, because if he didn't, Luke and Leia wouldn't have been around in Episodes 4, 5, and 6. In consideration to the negative aspect, we must understand that there was one for every film. We hated C-3PO in the Empire Strikes Back, the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi, and Jar Jar in the Phantom Menace.
The reason why I loved this film came up, and no one can say that it wasn't relevant. Personally, I enjoyed the sequences after the Romance, especially one involving a character we all know and love. The battles scenes were intense and graphic for a PG film, but like I just said, they were intense. These scenes certainly opened the door to not just Episode 3, but Episode 4 as well. It entertained us, and kept us in perpetual suspense, considering we have an idea as to what happens next.
In conclusion, the storyline was good, the romance was bad, and the battle scenes compensated for it. I am looking forward for 2005, when we will kiss Star Wars good-bye. I recommend this film to anyone who likes Film War, or Star Wars.
