A worthy Star Wars movie.

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2002)

Excuse for a minute the sometimes laugh-out dialogue. Excuse for one-second the convoluted plot. With great pleasure I must report that "Attack of the Clones" for the most part captures the spirit of the original trilogy, while creating a new feeling for the new ones. Listen, Star Wars has always had comic book dialogue, this one is no different. The love story is a little weak, but it is a small part of this movie. For Star Wars fans, the thrill of seeing the relationship between Obi-Wan and Anakin, the creation of the Clone-troopers, and the breathtaking action is enough to make everyone forget the dissapointing Episode 1. And there is one scene that everyone should go in knowing absolutely nothing about, but alas, most reviewers seem compelled to spill the beans on what is one of the most thrilling sequences in Star Wars history. I knew of this scene before going in, and wished I hadn't. Spoiler free for Episode 3 is my motto now. So Star Wars fans, our series is alive and well and 3 years from now it all comes to and end. Episode 2 is a great set-up for the final chapter, and last piece to the legendary Star Wars saga.
