Incredible!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2002)

Incredible!!! The second episode in George Lucas' immortal "Star Wars" saga has just been released and it has surpassed even my highest expectations. "Attack of the Clones" is an amazing, action-packed thrill ride not to be missed. I won't waste my time summarizing the plot, for fear that I might give away some plot spoilers and such, but I saw the movie on opening night and I do plan on seeing it maybe two or three more times during its theatrical run.
I've been a fan of Star Wars ever since I was a little kid, and I've been waiting for that long to see the Jedi masters in action, as described by Obi-Wan in "A New Hope". George Lucas has taken us back to the glory days of the Jedi order, before Anakin Skywalker capitulated to the Dark Side, became Darth Vader, and executed the remaining Jedi Knights. One can only hope that Episode III, due in May of 2005, portrays these events as they have been described in all the source materials and in the other films.
Once again, kudos to you, George. A terrific effort by all involved, a riveting plot, awesome visuals and sound, not to mention that Christopher Lee was pretty creepy as Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus, and finally getting an answer to the generation-old question, "What were the Clone Wars?"
