One Of the Greatest, If not the One...

Rating: 10/10 (16 May 2002)

This is the movie which brings balance to the Force.
For many, The Phantom Menace was a disappointment. But it was not for me, I thought it was not a flawless movie, but there was some magic, some cool stuff inside it, so I was really loving it. And I still do. But I have to admit it, that chapter is far beyond Episode I.
Everything is better, the story is told in such a perfect way, taking us on a trip through the galaxy and we can follow beloved characters that have flaws, pain, doubt and courage. Three Characters played exceptionally well by the three actors, even if Ewan McGregor is the weakest one. Christensen is giving to anakin the ambiguity that Anakin needs, Natalie Portman is great, intelligent, et really beautiful (and she has many nice outfits too!) and Ewan McGregor is so cool playing a Jedi Master that is always close to fail with his apprentice.
The movie can be split in two parts. The first part concerns the investigation and the political plot is very interesting and complex, we feel that there's a mystery behind all those negotiations. The second part is about the beginning of a conflict. This one is breathtaking and mesmerizing, I was feeling pain for those Jedis getting killed, I was thrilled by the unexpected fights between characters of the movie.
So this movie has an epic style and this was the most exciting experience I ever had in theaters for years. I mean it!
