This party is definitely not over...

I am such a gigantic Star Wars fan. Sure, I don't own a lightsaber, but that doesn't make me a SW outcast...does it?
Like I said, I love Star Wars and like many others I will have to hang my head in shame when I say that I was disappointed with Episode I :: The Phantom Menace. With that out in the open, I did NOT go into Episode II with high expectations. I was completely excited, don't get me wrong, but I wasn't expecting a great movie. I was sorely mistaken. "Attack of the Clones" is dueling it out in my heart with "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" (yes...I said Jedi) to be my favorite Star Wars film.
Sure, the romance between Anakin and Padme was not witty and clever like it was with Luke and Leia, but they're completely different characters and I absolutely loved the "love theme" in the story. (I felt I had to address this issue because of all of the comparisons I've been hearing over the past few days.)
I won't go into the CG aspect because they speak for themselves.
This film is going to sink Titanic for the one reason Episode I did not: this is one of the best films to grace the silver screen in a long time.
