George is forgiven!

That really was something else. I went into the cinema with low expectations after the Phantom Menace but I was over the moon with Episode 2.
The film does have a few slow spots as they try to build the romance up between Padme and Anakin but the last half hour or so take you on a rollercoaster ride in the battle on Geonosis.
There is a lot more humanity in the characters this time round with quite a few enjoyable one liners between ObiWan and Anakin, and as for Yoda, wow, now we know why he is the master!
And yes, JarJar is in the film but luckily his screen time is probably less then five minutes, although he does play a very key part in the commencement of the Clone Wars.
Roll on Episode 3!
