was is it good?....uh, yeeaaah

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

I saw this film the day it came out and...I was fairly entertained. What am I thinking, I was more than fairly entertained. This is so much better than Phantom Menace, and it answered so many questions I had. I thought it was awsome how they introduced the Storm Troopers, we got to see Luke's aunt Beru and unlce Owen in their youth, and most importantly (I don't even know if I am worthy of saying this) we got to see Yoda fighting with a lightsaber. That was the best fight I have ever seen in my life (and im not limiting that to just Star Wars fights). Needless to say the audience sat there dumbfounded. How could that the little green guy who seemingly can barely walk, jump around doing flips and cartwheels as he attempts to defeat Count Dooku. Simply incredible. People have compared this movie to The Empire Strikes Back. I thought the only thing that AOTC lacked that would beat out ESB is it didn't have a "Luke, I am your father" scene. But then again, ESP had Yoda sporting his cain, while ATOC had his taking charge with his green lightsaber. Episode II lives up to its hype. I rate this movie 4.5/5 stars.
