In for a ride

Rating: 7/10 (10 May 2018)

Watching the story/chapters unfold one by one through George Lucas's eyes is exciting. This film is much better than the titular title lets one. Hayden Christensen is one of the down falls as a teenage Skywalker/Jedi in training, the subtle teen angst or puppy love between Anakin /Queen is dismal. The story of why/where the clones actually come to light is enticing and gives the audience a peek into the dark side of the fallen.
Now, Christopher Lee, what can one say about such an iconic actor. His performance of Count Dooku is villainous and maniacal. strength in his forthcoming, laid back evil methods is what drives this arc. The fight scenes are spectacular. The last 25 minutes of the film is well worth the 2.5 hrs. Certainly reinvigorates the love of the franchise. I give this a well deserved solid 7 out of 10
