Well Worth the Wait!

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

A++ A perfect 4 stars!
For years fans have debated which Star Wars film is the best of them all. At last we have a champion. George Lucas has answered the fans call and delivered a film with a perfect blend of action and romance, dazzling special effects and a script that flows beautifully.
To anyone who walks away from this movie disappointed I must ask, what were you expecting? I was expecting the greatest Star Wars ever and this film surpassed my expectations.
I must admit I was a little surprised at how violent the film was. I have no objection to it however. I'm all for intense action sequences. It does not reach outrageous levels but it is definitely more intense than it's predecessors.
MINOR SPOILER: I don't want to reveal too much but let's just say there's a lot of lightsaber chopping and only a fraction of it is to battle droids. END SPOILER.
Whether or not you liked Phantom Menace (I loved it 4 stars!) Episode II blows it away. The title Attack Of The Clones is lousy, but the movie more than makes up for that!
Oh and the long awaited Yoda lightsaber scene: jaw droppingly excellent!
Running Time: Aprox. 142 minutes MPAA rating: PG for intense SCI-FI action violence and some minor language and sensuality
