The Force Returns in Full Power

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

Dear Star Wars Fans!
I just saw the premiere of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones at my local theater... If you lost your faith in Lucas's last work and if you thought that he was not able to tell stories anymore, well... you are completely wrong. This picture is just UNBELIEVABLE - this is the first actually real STAR WARS film - battles of incredible scale that you have never seen in a Sci-Fi film before. I must admit also that this is the first episode of the saga that made me cry like a child. Now I realize why Anakin will become Darth Vader some day... Perhaps the complete answer will be in Episode III but now I saw that Anakin's character has a human heart - he loves and he hates with such strong feelings that a person like you and me could have, if something really beautiful or terrible happens in our lives. We feel love and anger all the time and we cannot stop it because sometimes it happens that we lose someone precious for us and we cannot bring him back. We are not God. And we cry and we bleed. We are just people. That's why I cannot blame no one... even if he is meant to be a Jedi. Next wonderful presence in the film is Obi Wan Kenobi - very different form Episode I, now he is more confident, more powerful - he is a knight! No more, no less. Perhaps the most entertaining feature in Episode II is the tandem Yoda-Mace Windu. Now i see what the Jedi Council is capable of. Mr. Jackson is far more convincing as Windu even than his character from Pulp Fiction. And if I was a part of AMPAS, next year I would vote with two hands up for Yoda as Best Supporting Actor - this time you will forget that the small Jedi Master is actually computer generated.
This film will touch the most unreachable parts of your fantasy and your hearts... Please, see it on big screen and you'll never forget it.
THE FORCE IS HERE AS NEVER BEFORE AND THE CLONE WAR HAS BEGUN! Now we have three years to survive...the wait for III.
