Title: Star Wars Ep2 REVIEWED- \'Best of the Series!!!\'
Post by: THX on May 02, 2002, 09:01:59 PM: ~Don\'t worry, No Spoilers~

Home Theater Forum\'s Ron Epstein has the first internet review of Attack of the Clones after a private screening in NYC.

Quote
I won\'t waste any time in saying that Attack Of The Clones is the most remarkable Star Wars film to date. It not only breathes new life into the series, but it brings us back to the original magic that made Star Warsa cultural phenomenon.

.....................................................

I so much wanted the title of this review to be called George Lucas Redeemed. I never thought I would be saying this, but it is quite obvious that Lucas has not lost his touch. Attack Of The Clonesis the most immense science fiction project ever brought to the screen. There are so many moments that your jaw just drops to the floor. The final 30 minutes of film hits you so hard with action and visual assaults that dizziness is sure to ensue. It\'s dark, it\'s serious, and it goes back to the formula that made everyone fall in love with the series in the first place. This is the film that every other film this Summer is going to have to measure up to.

Dare I say that next to \'Empire\', Attack Of The Clones is the best Star Wars movie of the series.

On a scale of 1-5, I give this film a 5.

Opens May 16th, 2002

Post by: ##RaCeR## on May 02, 2002, 10:39:57 PM: It was simply a joke, hell, I don\'t even like Star Wars.

Movies filmed in Australia are generally blockbusters (Matrix, MI:2, Star Wars E1, Moulin Rouge etc) thats all.

As for Kiwi\'s, they need to learn how to talk properly. I swear I heard someone from New Zealand today on Ricki Lake and no one could understand them. Ricki asked her twice to repeat the question...

You are insane. The Empire Strikes Back is the best, and I can\'t believe you even mentioned ROTJ. You actually like that idiotic little Ewok adventure? I just watched it last night and it was really annoying. Especially the special edition changes.

Post by: Darth Joyda on May 05, 2002, 06:27:30 AM: The Force is strong with Attack of the Clones. The new beginning it shall be. The Phantom Menace will be forgotten.

I do have faith, yes, yes. I indeed have. The midnight screening on May 16th I will attend. Excited I am; enthusiastic.

Post by: Titan on May 05, 2002, 12:57:11 PM: I saw pictures and trailers and I started to lose my breath. I can\'t wait. I need to reserve my tickets now. Although I saw Episode 1 at my local cinema the first day (err.......11 PM, last showing for opening day) and I didn\'t even reserve them. I just don\'t want to take the the chance so I\'ll reserve tickets.

Post by: Hawke on May 07, 2002, 01:22:25 AM: I still can\'t be excited about the film for some reason. Hopefully I\'ll like it at least half as much as that reviewer did.

BTW, the two Ewok movies are the best SW movies ever! Spinoffs own!
