Not Bad, Better Than Episode I Overall Grade, a 3.75. I was one of the many Star Wars fans disapointed with Episode I and it's inconsistancies/poor acting/over-emphasis on special effects. I went in the theatre long ago, with significantly less expectations than I went in with Episode I, and I came out quite satisfied with Episode II. First off, and I think most fans will agree, less Jar Jar made the movie significantly more bearable. I just wanted anyone to take a lightsabre to Jar Jar and end us of all our misery, I really hope Chewbacca eats him in Episode III. However, Hayden Christensen's acting and cheesy lines didn't help any. The whole Skywalker/Padme love thingy just made me sick and wished for the action scenes to quickly make their entrance... who ever thought Darth Vader was the submissive type? It was nice to see Ewan McGregor again to return as Kenobi. He was probably the only cool thing in Episode I. He did fairly well in Episode II and hope he continues his faily good acting in Episode III when it comes out. Christopher Lee was an excellent choice for Darth Tryannus, although I still think his better acting was in Lord of the Rings. I'd have to say the plot wasn't too bad, it made things clearer, however, we still know that Chancellor Palpatine is... uh... Emperor Palpatine. I thought the Boba Fett clone connection was somewhat cool since we all love Boba Fett. Other than that, the action sequences were more feasible and entertaining to watch, it's not very exciting to see a battle droid fall, so it was nice to see some human bad guys for a change. And yes, I thought the Yoda lightsabre thing was cool... I laughed the whole time... who ever thought Yoda had it in him? All in all, not bad at all. But Lucas better get his crap together since the original three are still 10x better than his newest editions to the SW saga.
