Just entertaining, not more

Rating: 6/10 (18 May 2002)

To be honest Episode I was a lot better. Although Ewan McGregor (Obi Wan) has grown in his role, Hayden Christensen (Anakin) was a terrible actor. He did not have any basic acting skills at all. Secondly somehow Yoda speaks in lesser cryptic way than in the old Star Wars. The movie was entertaining, but not more than that!

***SPOILER FROM HERE ON*** Especially the 'romantic Sound of Music' scene was really a mistake, the SFX were terrible, the acting was really bad and it did not fit into this movie at all. To much romancing in my opinion.
Although the fight between Yoda and Count Dooku was very good, I still don't like the way they designed Yoda. In old Star Wars, where Yoda was a puppet, he looked a lot more realistic.
The big attack of the clones is pretty neat, but sometimes blowing up miniatures is still more realistic. I think George Lucas should either have reached the same realism as in Final Fantasy or he should have used older techniques like miniatures to make it more believable.
