Best of the current trilogy so far!

Rating: Null/10 (20 May 2002)

I have been a Star Wars fan since age 12 (1992), and even though I was one of the few who enjoyed Phantom Menace (except for Jar-Jar Binks, who disappointly shows up here once again), Attack of the Clones, while flawed, is much better. Non-stop action, plus a few things we've never seen in a Star Wars movie before, for example, Jedi council members Mace Windu and Yoda going to help out Obi-Wan Kenobi and getting involved with the Clone Wars. I've never been much of a stickler for the dialogue George Lucas writes, which admittedly is not that great, but what he lacks in prose, he makes up for in visualization. I mean, Yoda has a lightsaber battle in this picture for Heaven's sake! That's so original. The cute little fellow sees more action here than he has in the entire series so far!
Only real problems I have with this picture are:
1. Hayden Christensen as Anakin, who seems like he's acting in
the film just because he'll get noticed and not because of what
he can contribute, which isn't a whole hell of a lot. 2. Jar-Jar Binks returns. Admittedly, it's good that if he has to be around, his appearance is kept short and sweet, but Meesa hopes Yousa Star Wars writers write in the next picture that he was lost in the Tatooine or something.
