This time they did it

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

I was sceptical about this one after episodeI, but to my surprise this one really lives up to the original ones, and I even think that this one might be the best one yet (might take a couple more viewings though). It was a much darker movie than episode one, and in many ways resembles Empire in its style. It also has a great sense of adventure like the original ones along with multiple story lines also like Empire. The sound track was the best I've ever heard and the score great with a few new themes along with all the good old ones. I hated EP1, but this one I will definitely go see again and again and again. It does have a few weak point on the acting especially Hayden Christensen is not always too believable, but hey - he's a Skywalker - being a bad actor must run in the family. Oh, and watch out for Yoda - the little green guy can be pretty surprising. If EP1 had been this good, it would have met all the expectations and more. Even my wife, who has always hated the original Star Wars was crazy about this one.
