in one word.....WOW!

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

After I got home this morning at about 3am from watching the midnight premiere here in Miami. My face was still glowing from the pure delight of watching such a great peice of entertainment. I do not think AOTC will win any acting or screenplay awards, but the special effects were outstanding and the story line was simply brilliant. The tie-in's from episode I and to the nostalgic trilogy were great. The movie had very minor flaws and perhaps a few scenes we could have done without and even went overboard with some of the characters (ie. Yoda, C3P0) but watching Yoda doing his thing was a good laugh. I have always been a StarWars fan and I was a bit dissapointed with Epidode I but George Lucas is back to form with Epiode II. From a fan's point of view I give the movie a 10 of 10. But from the critics perspective an 8 of 10 (there is much room for improvement in the movie).
