Pearl Harbor meets... Star Wars

Rating: 2/10 (17 May 2002)

*Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones*
I told myself I wouldn't see this movie. I was so dissapointed by the last one and didn't want it to make too much money. Unfortunetly I have friends that think Hayden Christianson is "super hot." I guess it wasn't unfortunate because I enjoyed the movie! Well... I enjoyed most of it. The first hour was terrible. Hayden Christianson telling Natalie Portman she wasn't like sand (something like that)... was just awful. The first hour contained more cheap dialouge than Pearl Harbor! But for every stupid line Hayden fed Natalie there was a cool action sequence.
*spoilers*
There were points in the movie where things start to change. In one scene Ewan McGreggor Says to Hayden "You're going to be the death of me." This kind of sent chills down my spine considering Anakin caused the death of Obi Wan. And than in a scene that turned me from giving this movie a 6 to giving it a fairly higher grade: Anakin talking about how he killed every creature in a village and the infamous Darth Vader music plays. I knew that this was a turning point and it would be different from Phantom Menace.

The acting is horrible. But who sees a Star Wars movie for the acting anyways? The dialouge at times is too much and brings the movie down. But when Yoda pulls out that light sabor and "uses the force", I smiled with great joy. Unlike my reaction after seeing Phantom Menace (which was something along the lines of "I'll never see another George Lucas film again") I am highly anticipating Episode III!
*8.5/10*
