Better than EpI.

Rating: 10/10 (11 October 2002)

I confess I am a huge Star Wars fan, and that my opinion is a little influenced on that, but the fact still remains that 'Attack of the Clones' is closer to the original Star Wars than Episode I. I do not like the constant use of special effects, but the story line was very interesting and it just sucked the audience in instantly. The acting, although was never intended to be superb, was very good. Hayden Christansen has quickly become one of my favorite new stars. Ewan McGregor did a wonder job, as always, as the wise but sometimes egotistical, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Even Natalie Portman seemed to live up to her co-stars talent as the beautiful Padme. While some of the 'romantic' scenes could easily be classified as cheesy in the end you just suck it up and remember that Star Wars is not an Academy Award Winning Movie anymore, but a simple escape into a galaxy far, far away.
