Reminiscent of the good old days

Rating: 7/10 (15 June 2002)

Whilst the Phantom menace left me cold and bored, this really enthused me. I think that the pace was really good particularly after Obi arrives on the clones planet. It started to zip along and the fight scenes at the end were terrific. It took me back to the excitement of the earlier films and always looked awesome.
It was a bit twee when it came to romance but well, that was never Lucas' strongpoint. His vision of the future was scintillating to look at and for me that was never in itself.
I reckon the third installment will be fantastic!
