Better then Phantom Menace and darker to boot

Rating: 8/10 (17 May 2002)

I was as sceptical as any of them. Would _Clones_ run into the same problems Phantom Menace did, weak story, no twists, and horrible acting by characters that deserved a pink slip instead of a Lucas movie. Clones is much better. Hayden has done a wonderful job at showing his disobedient side, even if he does it by being annoying as all hell. His transition into Mr. Darth has begun... Lucas has also done a good job this time around of giving us our fill of cool saber fights. Needless to say, when I saw the movie last night people were cheering during the last fight. A lot of people will be turned away to see this because of the horrible showing from Phantom Menace. However, this is not Phantom Menace... this is much better.
