Didn't take itself too seriously

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

I anticipated this movie to be good. Unfortunately I did the same thing for Phantom Menace. I was not let down in this case. Although the title leaves something to be desired, the storyline was fairly well done. Acting (Besides Hayden) was incredibly good (As always). In a sense, Hayden did a good job to create dual personas, which obviously will come into play in the next episode.
Besides that beef, Lucas kept Jar Jar at a minimum and that helped GREATLY!!! Costumes were wonderful, effects were awesome. Fight scenes were good, but I felt that Lucas hid some of the fighting with low light and head-shots. But heck, he is the genius movie-maker. Not me.
Overall I cannot wait to see it again. It will be good to see Ep.1 and 2 in a row so my faith in the series will be upheld. And I really can't wait for Episode III!!! I highly suggest seeing this film.
