Some Good Comments about the film with only few criticisms.

Rating: 8/10 (16 May 2002)

Seeing the movie at a press preview before it's release, many people were asking me what i thought of it and wether it was worth watching. I said 'Hey, it's Star Wars, it's always worth watching!' And i was right. The second installment of the epic is a great movie to watch. It's fun, has great action sequences and, occasionly, funny. The strong point of the film is the action. It's brilliant and better than it has been before. The final battle at the end of the movie is stunning, pitting 200 Jedi against Count Dooku's droid army. the clone soldiers are brilliant, the design of their uniform is cleverly close to that of the Storm Troopers, showing what is going to happen to them in the end. The special effects are also a brilliant feature in the film. But what did we expect from Industrial Light and Magic? ILM are ahead of everybody else when it comes to computer graphics. For the first time in all of the Star Wars films, Yoda is no longer a puppet but computer generated. At first i was think that this would ruin the movie, but it is superbly done and i have nothing bad to comment on it. What is hugely dissapointing is the script. It lacks that certain thing that is seen in the original trilogy. The lines that Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGreggor) finds himself saying are utterly rubbish some of the time. I found myself laughing at a couple of them at the very most. Then the scripting leads onto the acting, which is done consideringly well. Newcomer Hayden Christensen portrayed Anikin very well, showing his love and anger (both should not be shown by a Jedi) very well. Overall, the new installment of the Star Wars saga is a great movie. Certainly better than Episode 1 in most areas, fans of the Star Wars universe should not be disappointed. Movie Goers who arnt that involved with Star Wars should still enjoy.
