Is it in your destiny to watch this film?

Rating: 8/10 (11 November 2003)

Once again, George Lucas takes us to a long time ago in a land far, far away. This film is a follow up to one of the biggest grossing movies of all time. To tell you the truth, this movie was not that great. The characters were further defined, but this film did leave enough out there to tell even the most novice of movie watchers that there was one more film to come (even if Lucas didn't tell us beforehand).
I did like that touch of humanity to the film. Bad guys DO win (once in a while), there are flaws to people that others WILL take advantage of, and we don't ALWAYS win the good fight!
The second part of the trilogy gives an insight into "The Force." It, sometimes, reminds me of a hokey martial arts film. But the depth of the characters in this film became a part of history in the first one, making box office history as the number one grossing film that took almost twenty years to break. But this film did fall a little short in my book because I did not find some of the elements of the film believable. It was still a good film, but I still liked the first one better.
