Might be the best of the bunch

Rating: 5/10 (17 May 2002)

Frankly, I don't know what some of the early critics are talking about. This is an amazing movie in almost every way. It bridges the two series for the first time in ways 'Menace' never could and is more exciting than any Indiana Jones movie. And then there's the special effects....they are by far the best I've ever seen. Not to say there aren't some dull moments- some scenes simply do not click and so therefore the movie isn't perfect? WHO CARES!!! Was 'Empire' PERFECT? NOOOOOOOOOO (I have always found the Dagobah sequence a little boring). 'Jedi' (Jabba laugh)- certainly not. 'Menace'? Let's not even go there.
So no, 'Clones' is not perfect and I don't know why some critics feel the need to bag on it when it is so wonderful in so many ways. It's their loss, really, because they decided not to enjoy this film which is so rich and delectible it begs to be enjoyed.
In short, the love scenes are not as annoying as some might think. They are actually rather sweet- especially the later ones. Anakin is showing some definite 'Vader-esque' traits here and C3P0 has his best moments yet. It's a wild ride and is just waiting to be enjoyed by every man, woman and child on this planet. AMAZING! 10/10
