Very good film,leading to grand finale

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2002)

(spoiler free) I have seen Episode II twice and unlike TPM,I enjoyed it more the second time.Yes some of the dialogue is corny and there are a few plot details that seem a bit odd,but mainly it's only problem was Episode I.Let me explain.
Episode I was so messed up storywise (I did not think it of as a horrific film,simply one that could have been much better) that Episde II already had one strike against it,overcoming the faulty plot details that were seeded in the first prequel.They had to deal with the rather lame gungans and the whole "Anakin is an extremely powerful little kid deal" and the Queen already a strong ruler at the age of fourteen.It was just too far fetched ( and while I did not mind the way they introduced R2-D2,the C-3PO bit was just too much,along with the fact that Anakin,the poor suffering slave, still have enough time to make a podracer and a droid,and did not seem to be living in extreme poverty).
Episode II gets the triology back on track and sets the stage for the final star wars film,which I predict will be not only the best of the prequels but may be able to rival that of TESB,the star wars I view as being the best.
While I mention it,the same year we see the last star wars film,we see the final Indiana Jones film as well.This will be a long three year wait indeed.
