Very Cool, But Tedious At Times (spoilers)

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

This is by far superior to episode 1 and in my opinion just as good as return of the jedi however it does not live up to the empire strikes back. Jar-Jar Binks has a much smaller role in e2, even so people booed at his every appearence at the screening i saw. The tedious part part of the movie is in the numerous drawn out love scenes with flat lines and flatter acting by Hayden. My other complaint would be that Obi-Wan seems a little weak in the movie, easily getting captured and putting up almost no resistence to Count Dooku. However the shortcomings of the film are made up with a cooler than ever jedi battle royale with an army of droids and Samuel L Jackson triumphantly chopping off the head of his foe. However the coup de ta comes when we finally get to see Yoda kick some Dooku but, and exclaim "You have much to learn!" The ticket price is worth it just for this scene alone. The entire audience was cheering when yoda made his hobbling entrance. George Lucas has the force back.
