A love story in space...

Rating: 6/10 (31 December 2015)

While episode two is definitely as step up from the abysmal episode one, then it is not fully up in pace, and it sort of feels like a space version of "Titanic"; a way too long love story.
The best part of "Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" is the fact that they toned down Jar Jar Binks to an acceptable level.
"Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" introduces a bunch of important characters and do focus on the storytelling. And it is entertaining from start to end, offering a lot of flavor to the "Star Wars" universe.
The effects and Visuals are, as always, impressive. And the importance of the Visuals is what add that special atmosphere to the "Star Wars" universe. However, it is a shame that they opted for CGI effects more than actual practical effects.
Personally, I think Hayden Christensen is as talented as a Christmas tree and is poorly cast for the role of young Anakin Skywalker, because it is a very prominent character in the "Star Wars" universe. However, Ian McDiarmid really is amazing in the role of Palpatine (and even more so in episode three). But all in all, the cast were great and did fantastic jobs with each their given roles and characters.
This is a love story in the "Star Wars" universe, although an important movie in the "Star Wars" lore, but not quite fully having attained the magic of the original trilogy.
