a wandering episode

Rating: Null/10 (4 December 2002)

Although i am not one of these fans who knows by heart every actor's performance in any of the five episodes already seen, i would like to add some comments. Too much use of the computer in the making of the film turns it into a semi video-game. The original three episodes were more authentic since they were filmed with less technical devices but the results were amazing. There are scenes in the attack of the clones in which you can easily realize how this or that creature is a virtual one and it is not very well mixed with the real environment. On the other hand the actor who plays Anakin is a very bad one. Maybe he is too young or it was his first time. He is not very convincing in this role. The guy of the phantom menace was great at playing young Anakin. I loved The Phantom menace and i almost disliked episode ii. Even the love story between Amidala and Anakin does not make it better. In the story plot there is one point i consider quite original. The fact of making the audience understand that what takes Anakin to the dark side is his rebellion against Jedi's principles. But this rebellion is based on his love to his mother and Amidala. Does this mean that to be a good Jedi one has to say no to life?. Are they priests? Who is in the dark side then? This seems quite good to me. I am willing to see what is going on.
