Impressive. Most impressive.

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2002)

For me, and I hope for many others, Attack of the Clones completely satisfied my every need for a film to be as fantastical and fresh as Lord of the Rings: FotR. I really believe that Lucas is growing better as a storyteller and a filmmaker and AotC proves this. It is much more confident and ambitious as The Phantom Menace and contains some of the greatest moments in the ever-evolving Star Wars universe. I cannot understand and very much dislike the current backlash towards Lucas from the media and it leaves me asking: "What in the hell are you people expecting?" Its amazing how much critics will pounce on anyone with some imagination and the drive to film something as difficult and original as Attack of the Clones. In the words of Darth Vader, AotC is "Impressive. Most impressive."
