An Unbelievable Epic

Rating: 10/10 (20 May 2002)

Despite being a huge Star Wars fan, i really didn't expect too much out of this film. I was praying that it would be better than the Phantom Menace, and my prayers were definately answered. Watching Attack of the Clones reminded me of what a true Star Wars film was all about, a perfect blend of a story of love and incredible action sequences. I was concerned about the casting of Hayden Christenson as Anakin Skywalker, but i was wrong about him. He was amazing in this role. He was the perfect actor to show the signs of Evil in the man that would later become Darth Vader. When the movie ended at around 2:30 in the morning on Thursday, the first thing that entered my head was how great it was to see that George Lucas could still make a great film. I can't wait for Episode 3 when Anakin makes the transition from a life of peace in the Jedi Order to becoming the Evil Lord Vader. Thank you George, you did it again!
