Episode 2 for me was the movie equivalent of three years of foreplay (when The Phantom Menace was released) and the culmination in a two and a half-hour release.  And it was very satisfying!  There are just so many things to love about this movie &#8211; the vast number of different settings, the great CGI effects, the storyline (much improved from The Phantom Menace), Natalie Portman and less Jar-Jar Binks!  Sure, there were a couple of awkward dialogues and the acting was not really what I&#8217;d call Oscar-worthy, but so what?  Star Wars is all about geeky sci-fi fanboy action, and this movie delivers it in spades.  This is more than worth the $8.00 or P100 of admission (depending on where you live).  Now if only I could find a theater that showed the movie digitally (the way it was meant to be shown), I&#8217;d be in geekboy heaven.<\/p>\n<p>There were some things that kinda confused me though (SPOILERS):<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Why doesn&#8217;t Owen remember ever meeting C3PO in A New Hope?  It&#8217;s clear that they met before they came into their possession.  C3PO&#8217;s memory could&#8217;ve been easily wiped out, but I think Owen should&#8217;ve remembered that meeting.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>How come R2D2 can fly in this movie but never showed that ability when Luke and him were stuck in Dagobah?  That would&#8217;ve helped out quite a bit.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>Who the hell is that jedi that they keep referring to that died 10 years before the movie?<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li>How in the world does Padme&#8217;s different costumes fit into those two teenie bags?<\/li>\n<p><\/ol>\n<p>Anyhoo, the movie does have it flaws, but they can be overlooked because the movie as a whole is AWESOME&#8230;. my rating for this great flick is: <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cs.brandeis.edu\/~dcc\/Icons\/Star.gif\" width=\"3%\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cs.brandeis.edu\/~dcc\/Icons\/Star.gif\" width=\"3%\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cs.brandeis.edu\/~dcc\/Icons\/Star.gif\" width=\"3%\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cs.brandeis.edu\/~dcc\/Icons\/Star.gif\" width=\"3%\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cs.brandeis.edu\/~dcc\/Icons\/Star.gif\" width=\"3%\"><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Star Wars: Episode II: Attack Of The Clones Simply put: This movie was&#8230;. orgasmic.
