Great movie this is, see it you do

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

Sorry everybody, but here goes...this is my new favorite Star Wars movie. Better than "Hope", Better than Empire (But just barley) and of course, better than "Jedi" (Though not as good as Menace...kidding). Exellent Sci-Fi comes rarely in a blue moon, mostly it's just cold, weird (in a bad way) and kiddie. I hate the crap that that stupid Sci-Fi channel has done to tarnish the once good name of Shi-Fi. Strange new worlds, adventure and good old fashoned aliens are what great fu**in Science Fiction is for me. Horror and Comedy are still tops, but the strange world of Sci-Fi still floats my boat.
Now, on to the Wars. As i said, Fi isn't really my genre, but i've always loved Star Wars. I don't need to praddle on about how great those old movies are, but i will. Engrossing story, great charactors, ahead of it's time SFX...and Vader was pimp. But when Lucas decided to pick up the regins and shoot the first three segments via blue screen. Now about that Episode one that everyone was in a tizzy about...it sucked, but i'm sure that in that theater, in the moment, after years and months and painful DAYS of waiting, in that packed theater surrounded with other estatic fans it seemed just great. Afterwords was the time for nipicking, and on video it's the worst gosh darn movie ever, i swear (but i can't on this site).
Now Clones, this takes all the great elements of the Holy Trilogy that i was talking about and just makes boosts them ten times higher. The problem with Menace, 'sides the steriotypes and annoying little kids that you wanted to die (That Jake Lloyd COULDN'T have become Vader) you got the feeling that Lucas was afraid to go all the way, get totally engrossed in the story, feel and "Star Wars" vibe. Doesn't make that same mistake again. The entire movie i was knew that this was TRUE Star Wars. I bought the love angle, ignoreing the complants against it because hey, it's not going to be Romeo and Juliet, give Lucas some friggen credit for at least having a love story this involved. Some scenes between Portman and Christianson were actually pretty erotic for a Star Wars flick. Also loved the "Blade Runner" feel of the beggining (If i spell words wrong it's because i'm being kicked off). Add that on with great dialogue between Obi and Anakin, AMAZING CGI, John Williams re-using some classic scores from the original trilogy, 3PO and R2 being cool again for the first time in like, 16 years, Samuel Jackson strutting with a saber. And finally...YODA LIGHTSABER STYLE! DANCE YODA DANCE!!!!!!!!!!
In other words...Great Sci-Fi.
