The best so far

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2002)

In my humble opinion, this was the best Star Wars movie so far. The acting is marginal as always, and the direction is sub-par, but, hey it's what we've learned to expect. This installment has everything the first two had but with greater special effects and plot. It is much better than Phantom (with a lot less Jar Jar it couldn't help but be). For the record the movies in order of quality are II, V, IV, I, and VI (there wasn't much I enjoyed in Jedi accept for the you know what scenes with Carrie Fischer. Clones was effective in filling in the background to IV-VI (I can be somewhat thick at times, but I was wondering how Lucas was going to transition from droids to human storm troopers). I think the challenge is now on for Lucas to dovetail II to IV effectively, there is a lot of ground still to cover, and the effectiveness of II will obviously be tempered by III.
