Well Mr.Lucas has definitely redeemed himself - Just Wonderful

Rating: 9/10 (6 June 2002)

I was most disappointed with Episode One. And that along with the negative critical review of Episode Two, dissuaded me from going to see this movie until tonight, about two months after its theatrical release.
What a pleasant surprise.
The art direction in this film was just gorgeous. I don't think I've ever been as impressed as I am about the scenery in this film. It starts with the opening shot of buildings tall enough to puncture the cloud ceiling and it does not let up. David Lynch's Blue Velvet, of over a decade ago, is the last film I can think of whose opening shot really impressed me.
Though it was wonderful to just stare at, there's enough action to satisfy. There's a really cool chase scene in the beginning also.
I just don't understand how the critics could have been so unfair.
