Star Wars is back! Episode II is a great movie that hooks youwith anticipation for the unknown in Episode III.

Rating: 5/10 (3 May 2002)

I went to a screening of EP 2 last night - WOW - much better than the first one both in story and action. The characters are more fleshed out and likeable - even the bad guys like Count Dooku - portrayed by Christopher Lee is a good-bad guy. Fans should like the stories behind Jango Fett and Count Dooku, but Yoda is the one in this film that people will talk about for a long time to come.
THIS is the film that is the hook for everyone to want to see the next -not out of hoping it will be better, but because of how things will unfold - leaving you in anticipation for the unknown (even when knowing what will happen by Episode IV: A New Hope).
Star Wars Episode II is an impressive achievement for the future of digital cinema. The digital effects are more impressive than that of EP 1 and Lord of The Rings. The smallest of details in the backgrounds of the sets are some of the most impressive digital art direction I have seen.
Episode II is definitely a movie for everyone this summer - it's filled with fun, good humor, action and some shocking surprises - all the elements to make it a summer blockbuster.
