George Lucas is back, and so is Star Wars!(a few really small spoilers)

Rating: 4/10 (24 May 2002)

NOTE:
I saw this film again after writing this review and didn't like it the second time. This review is also one of the worst I've ever written. So you have been warned.

I went to see Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones the day after it came out in theaters May 16, and I must say I was surprised! I was afraid it would turn out to be like Episode 1, a HUGE disappointment for everyone, especially Star Wars fans, but it wasn't. It brought the old Lucas/Star Wars feel and has more action, and even romance, something not seen since Leia and Han Solo's on-the-side romance in episodes 4,5 and 6. The commercials make this movie look horrible, do not trust them. This movie is SO much better than Episode 1, anyone who dissagrees must be crazy. Episode 1 didn't have enough action, and it turned very bleak, and boring(it also didn't have the genuine Star Wars "feel" to it if you know what I mean). I was afraid that AOTC would be too much romantic, and boring like Ep. 1, but it isn't! It turned out great, and I really was surprised when I walked out of the theater.
The acting is a little *blah* sometimes, but not usually. The only parts where it did get a little * was some scenes with Natalie Portman, and Hayden Christiansen, because they both are basicially new actors and aren't "great" at acting yet, but it's not that bad, you can shrug it off for Star Wars' sake. I was also worried that the many scenes with Yoda(unlike Episode 1 where Yoda was in a few small scenes)would look really messed up with computer graphics, because I was worried he'd end up looking like Shrek(which is not bad graphics, just too smooth for a world with real background and people like AOTC). Once again I was wrong. Unlike Epiosode 5&6 we can see Yoda moving more with CGI and his whole body as well, not just upper body. Yoda also went a little crazy with a lightsaber in the movie(that was basicially my spoiler in this comment), which was GREAT to see. It just looks hilarious! I also like seeing how everything in this movie fits along with the original story lines, like getting to see the story of Boba Fett's existence(seeing his face, too), and so many more things!
This movie was NOT a disappointment to Star Wars like Episode 1, It goes right along with with episodes 4,5,&6 and I can't wait for Episode 3 now!(Despite what George Lucas says right now, I sense episodes 7,8,&9, coming up in a few years!)Lucas is back, and it's great!
