Christopher Lee Rocks!

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2002)

Okay, this was not "Attack of the Groans", as I had been lead to believe, but it still has some problems. Way, way too much CGI and way, way, way too much of young Darth Vader. Who is this kid and why is he in this movie? He as awful. And Natalie Portman, who was so good in the first movie was a real let down here. Although, she has great abs. Lucas could have easily trimmed 30 minutes from this flick by cutting those two star crossed lover's scenes.
Christopher Lee, who must be 80 by now, steals the show. Man, can this guy act! He puts the rest of the youngins to shame. I hope he's back in the next Star Wars installment, and I hope he's given a lot more to do.
And who's idea was the sword fight between Yoda and Dooku? I guess I must be the only one who found it hilarious. Talk about prime material for the folks over at Saturday Night Live! I'd like to see Mike Myers' take on it in one of his Austin Powers movies.
All in all, I actually LOVED it and cannot wait to see the next one. Enjoy it, eat lots of popcorn and remember what it was like when you were a kid and these kinds of movies sucked you in.
