Critics SHUT UP!

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

I was definitely worried after reading countless bad articles in the paper and on the web, but I tell you...it's a all a lie. Star Wars II is amazing, incredible, awesome. "Spider-Man" is a faint memory beside this film. "Phantom Menace" was let's face it, a little bit of a letdown -- I did enjoy the film, but it had a great many faults. This film is fantastic...people complain about the dialogue and the acting. Portman is excellent as always, and Christensen is remarkable in possibly one of the most difficult roles ever! I mean, it's been built up since the release of the Star Wars IV! There's dumbed down, teenage lovey-dovey talk, but what they hell are they suppose to say -- yes, he's a jedi and she's a senator, but they're still teenagers, who just fell in love. Lucas' direction is a lot more confident, and he leaves the comic relief to people like Obi-One and C3PO & R2 -- definitely a smarter choice then Jar-Jar. Jar-Jar was bad, but if Lucas had cut some scenes from "Phantom" -- the backlash would not have been as bad. SO...go see the movie. It's still on one of the most amazing plots and stories you'll ever see. The intricacies are astounding...and yes the special effects are incredible. Bottom LIne, tell the critics to shove it and go watch it; you will not be disappointed!
