Cloning Fun

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2002)

I'm not sure what all the negative fuss is about. It's no Casablanca but who expects it to be? Some have obviously tumbled into the wrong cinema.
I think most of us love Star Wars for what it really is: a rip-roaring romp with plenty of great special effects. Why pretend otherwise?
Brickbats:
Wooden acting by Natalie Portman
Stilted dialogue (please get Lawrence Kasdan back!)
Bouquets:
Superb performances from Ewan MacGregor, Christopher Lee & Ian McDiarmid
Yoda (highlight)
More believable chemistry between Armidala and Anakin
Fantastic light sabre sequences (more please)
Scrumptious sets
All in all a lot of fun.
