The Force was this time with Lucas!

Rating: 9/10 (19 May 2005)

And back I am! It was totally amazing!
OK, I know it might sound a bit blasphemous, but I thought it was maybe even better than the old episodes (IV, V, VI). I am really starting to wonder whether it was really necessary to film the episodes I and II. What I personally liked so much about the old films were the threatening confrontations between Darth Vader and Luke or The Emperor and Luke, etc. Well, this new film is full of such dark, threatening conversations and confrontations. We know of course what will happen, we only don not know exactly how it all will go. This is the darkest and the most exciting part in my opinion. Every scene was keeping me focused. I totally could feel the struggle between and inside the main characters. The actors did this time a way better job than by "The Attack..." Even the guy who played Anakin was this time really great to watch. All the changing expressions of his face. You could feel the doom and the burden this time. The dialogs were way cooler. All the fight scenes made sense. Not like in the previous part, where they were there more to make the film look cooler. Here all was in the right place. Great film! I definitely will go to see it again soon! This time the force was definitely with Lucas and the rest!
