Darth Vader running down the flowery hill...

Rating: 6/10 (30 December 2005)

If Episode 1 was the one aimed at the children (Jar Jar Binks is as annoying as the damned Ewoks), this Episode 2 is the romantic one. I still don't make sense of this new trilogy. Now somebody tell me what percentage of this film is been dedicated to clarify things about Anakin Skywalker and the whole Star Wars universe? Not even 25% of it. The rest is just pyrotechnics, digital effects, and all the stuff that money and modern technology can provide. We could also discuss about the lack of a really charismatic character in these new films. There's no Han Solo around here, man! Hayden Christiansen is way too far from somebody destined to become Darth Vader. What the hell is Darth Vader doing running down the flowery hill chasing Natalie Portman??? Come on!
An entertaining show, but it won't become a thing of the past (at least not for me).
*My rate: 5.5/10
