Great film - Star Wars is truly back

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2002)

I can't believe the amount of negative comments this is receiving, especially from so-called fans. Its not perfect by any means, but it is well directed, has an interesting plot, and at times is visually awesome and heartpoundingly exciting. Yes the romance could have been handled better, and the script could have been improved, but this doesnt stop this being what will probably the most entertaining film of the year.
The best bits, well there's a fair few, but here I go -
The begining - Padme's ship cruising through the clouds and Coruscant being revealed below. Very Classy.
The chase through the skies of Coruscant - yes it's very reminiscant of The Fifth Element but who cares its still impressive.
Jango Fett - Theres something about Jango flying around using his rocket pack that is just unbelievably cool.
Obi Wan - McGregor seems much more relaxed in the role and even gets to drop a few witty one-liners.
Anakin's attack on the Tusken Raiders and his confession to Padme - Darth Vader here we come!
Obi Vs Jango - great fight, but should have been longer.
The asteroid chase - the seismic explosions were awesome in digital sound.
The last 45 mins - truly astonishing. Yes a few of the creatures on Geonosis looked a bit fake, but the rest of it - oh my god!!
Yoda Vs Dooku - as everyone else has said, this rocks!
Palpatine oversees the clone army boarding the Star Destoryers - Knowing whats to come, this was just chilling.
Although not as good as Empire or A New Hope this is far better than Jedi and Menace and definitely worth a look.
