Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Finally saw the movie all critics seem to like after the disasterous EPISODE I. The cinema was nearly empty making it even more enjoyable. This is what STAR WARS is supposed to be. Bad acting, bad script and beautiful scenery and effects. Ewan has really taken the persona of Obi. The only sign of decent acting in the entire movie although Nathalie Portman does a decent job (and looking more like Princess Leia) even though she is forced to recite lines like "I die a little more each day since you came back". Jar Jar is hardly seen but I would have liked a little more C3PO. Battle scenes are of STAR WARS calibre and the effects seem less computer animated for most of the movie although many of the creatures like Yoda still need work to make them more realistic. Definitely worth seeing. This should have been EPISODE I and EPISODE I should have just been a flashback in this installment. The fact that I was mentioned in this movie by Queen Amidala may make my review a little Bias. In a conversation with Anakin, she mentions her first love was "Paolo, a dark curly haired, dreamy eyed boy who went on to become an artist...".
