Getting better - and the best may yet come

Rating: Null/10 (16 May 2002)

After Ep. I, I began to wonder. After the trailers for II, I began to think it was all over. After seeing Ep. II, I wish III was opening next week.
It's a great movie for Star Wars fans. Sure, it's cheesey in parts. The middle of the movie kind of drags on with the rushed relationship between Anakin and Amidala. Anakin is a bit annoying, but probably annoying in the right way.
The origin of the clone army... and how even the Jedi council is used in starting the war... just right.
The last 45 minutes are so... are fantastic. It ends right when you don't want it to, but right when it needs to.
Maybe these movies just reawaken the little kid in me that fell in love with them 25 years ago. Whatever it is. It's back. Thank you, Mr. Lucas.
