Attack of the Clones - Eye Candy Supreme

Rating: 9/10 (16 May 2002)

Isn't the point of a Star Wars flick to take us to another world filled with adventure, intrigue, noble & diabolical characters and plain kick-butt action? Well, this movie delivers in spades upon spades upon spades! Just seeing Yoda let out his masterful Jediness was worth the price of admission!

And I don't care what folks say, Christensen was awesome as Annakin. Watching Phantom, you just couldn't fathom mannaquin-Anakin ever becoming Vader, but Christensen leaves no doubt in your mind Anakin is headed down a bad road. If anything, I see Darth Vader as being a more tragic character than ever before. Not just an extremely-cool-but-bad bad guy who happens to come out of his badness-trip at the end. Seeing the conflicts Anakin goes through not only with his inherent personality playing tug-of-war with his Jedi teachings, but with the events in his life, you can understand why Vader comes into being.
The CGI was awesome. Yes, sometimes it overwhelmed me, but especially in the last act of the film, it was simply unbelievable. Eye Candy Supreme!
