Doesn't Disappoint

Rating: Null/10 (2 June 2002)

After the disappointment of the Phantom Menace I was very interested to see how this one would fare and honestly Attack of the Clones is back to what the Star Wars series is all about. In a lot of ways this is similar to the Empire Strikes Back and Hayden Christensen was brilliant as Anakin and the evil in his eyes was truly heartstopping made even more real everytime the Darth Vader score was added to those scenes in particular, I'm definitely looking forward to his transformation to Vader.
From the opening sequence the charm that is Star Wars sweeps over you and you're taken on such a ride for 2 hours that you don't even realise. That is the magic of Star Wars once you start watching the screen that is it, you're completely lost in the magic of George Lucas.
Natalie Portman fared a little better this time around but Ewan McGregor again, was brilliant as Obi Wan, he can do no wrong.
Every adult who was a child when the first trilogy was released is reliving their childhood all over again with the preludes and after 25 years with Star Wars Episode 4 they haven't dated and a series where you never get tired of watching and it's so wonderful having us children of the first trilogy reliving our childhood all over again with the next generation.
I'm definitely looking forward to Episode 3 and the next 3 years cannot come quick enough.
George Lucas has outdone himself with this one and hopefully he'll outdo himself with Episode 3 as I'm sure he'll finish off with a bang since this will be the last Star Wars.
