Pure Intensity - not a disappointment

Rating: 10/10 (24 May 2002)

There was a lot riding on this movie, and I set myself up for a potentially huge disappointment - but George Lucas didn't let me down. From the first to the last minute, I was in a trance over the film (which I saw in it's digital format). It was very intense at times, and it had the most intense battle scenes that I've seen in the Star Wars series. There were lots of twists and many surprises that really added to the film. I was stunned when I first read paper reviews of the movie that gave it low ratings. With so much hype I think the reviewers were just sippin' on the haterade just wanting to call it a flop. Whatever - Star Wars is cashing in again - with a grand performance.
