Ok, Lucas, I forgive you

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

Everything that was wrong with Phantom is cleared up. The actors are better at their parts (and Anakin is much better as an adult then a kid), Jar Jar is mostly absent (and a little better spoken when he is on stage), the battles are cooler, the plot faster and less "aaaaw, isn't annie a cute kid". The lines between Amidala and Anakin are a little stiff, but hey, I wasn't very suave when I was nineteen either... heh. But the way they look at each other. It is to die for. And the music, especially the Imperial March (Vader's Theme) haunts Anakin through the film, to the best sceen, where it thunders across the theater. Wow! (It was much better than Cats, I'm going to see it again and again)
