The story continues in a brilliant film

Rating: 9/10 (15 May 2002)

If you had not seen any Star Wars films before, this film is brilliant with great acting and special affects. This is the only reason I could not give full marks because as a film on its own the story may seem a little confusing. However, as most of the world have seen episodes I,IV,V and VI this film is a masterpiece. It does the job that is requested of it. Not only does it continue to tell the story but it tells it incredibly well. The film has everything including Lucas' first real venture into a love story which he pulls off extremely well.
Christensen and Portman are exceptional lead roles and McGregor and Jackson follow up well with performances that deserve the highest accolades.
There will be the usual critics mouthing off about the soppy love scenes and the return of Jar Jar but as George has said all along, he is just telling the story as it is. In my opinion he could not have told it better.
