A huge step forward

Rating: 7/10 (17 May 2002)

I will say that I didn't expect great things from this film, and I was pleasantly surprised. It seems like Lucas really listened to the griping about Episode I and did his best to not commit the same mistaked. He's never tried to write a love story before, and in my opinion he needs some practice. Don't get me wrong, it is necessary for later plot developments, I just found it a little weakly constructed. My other complaint is that there are certain scenes I felt were delivered in such a way for no other reason than to get cheers from the audience (which they did), although in my opinion they might have been more appropriate a little less overdone.
