Absolutely brilliant Film-making

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

After seeing the Phantom Menace I wondered if George Lucas would be able to recreate what he did with the original Star Wars trilogy. Having seen Attack of the Clones I can say that he can.
Attack of the clones is one of the best movies I have ever seen. The tragic love story between Anakin an Padme, the rise of the dark side and the excellent action sequences made this a movie to remember.
Hayden Christensen if brilliant as Anakin and the sense of the dark side taking him on a path that leads him to become Darth Vader is portrayed with true skill. The gorgeous Natalie Portman is excellent as is Ewan MacGregor who is truly mastering the role of Obi Wan.
And then there's Yoda - what can be said about Yoda other that simply this - Yoda Rocks!! I've always thought that Yoda was a cool character but after seeing his action sequence I can say that Yoda is the man!
Yoda has gone from being an amusing character to a legend in this film. I could not believe the scene where he has the fight. I could watch that fight over and over again. (And when its come out on video I just might do that!)
I could go on about how good this movie and Yoda are but I have to end somewhere. I have read many of the comments about this movie that put it down and I feel sorry for these people who can go to a movie that is a brilliant piece of entertainment and do nothing but pull in apart. It seems that these people get more enjoyment from slamming a movie than from being entertain by the master that George Lucas has proven himself to be.
This movie rates up with Lord of the Rings as one of the greatest examples of movie mastery.
Attack of the Clones is an amazing film that is as good as any of the Star Wars films and after watching this film it changes how I look at the original three stories.
Attack of the Clones is one of the best films ever!
