Summary: The Best Movie Ever!
Review: ...Star Wars is as story. It is not meant to be an action mvie with a lot of stuff blowing up. Sure, there are some moments that has that, but they have to be in there, as there are some space battles, etc. Some people may think that the acting is flat in the two movies (The Phantom Menace, and Attack of the Clones) but I see it as a period where there was a lot more peace and order then the Empires reign. For example, when you go to Tatooine, all of the characters talk as they did in the first 3 movies. This is because they live in an un-orderly part of the galaxy. I won't go into everything that I want to talk about, but I want to finish by saying tht this movie is great, and I would recommend it to anyone!

Summary: A Great DVD, Regardless of What You Think of the Film
Review: I won't bore you with my opinions on the new Star Wars movies vs. the original trilogy. There will always be those who legitimately don't like Star Wars, those who feel a need to backlash against it because of its popularity, and those who will love it unconditionally. This review is about the DVD - if you like the move, get this DVD. If you don't like it, pass. As many DVD websites have pointed out, this DVD features the best audio and video ever seen! I don't have a fancy system, but I noticed a difference on my 32" tv and my moderate Dolby Digital system. While the extras aren't quite as good as those on Episode I ("the Beginning" documentary is still the best documentary to come to DVD) they certainly aren't shabby. There's a great sound documentary and an excellent documentary on bringing Yoda to life as a CG character. Deleted scenes are fun, however, two widely publicized scenes are notoriously absent. First is the Jedi raid on the Droid control ship. Second is an extended edition of the fight sequence between Yoda and Dooku (you do get shots of Dooku fighting with two sabers in the Yoda documentary - sans special effects). Perhaps Lucas is saving these for the rumored "super editions" due out in 2005 or 2006. The bottom line is, if you enjoyed the movie, you'll love the DVD.

Summary: Special effects extravaganza!
Review: First, let me say I am a Star Wars fan. So, I have a bias and I liked this film because it is a Star Wars film. However, this film was not nearly as likeable as the first of this latest George Lucas trilogy. Jar Jar Binks barely utters a word. This film was also too long. Scenes which would have provided smoother and a more natural transition of the story line, (not to mention much better character development), were cut in favor of having longer special effects chase scenes. This film is a good example of where the special effects dominate a film to the exclusion of a possible interesting story line. If I wasn't a biased Star Wars fan, I would have given this film a 2 star rating at the most. This DVD version includes some of the scenes which were cut. I think these scenes should have been left in the film to make this film more believable and understandable. These scenes could have been easily kept in the film without adding any extra length to the film just by shortening the unbelievable chase scene that seemed to go on forever. Well, we can always hope the third installment will be better balanced between special effects and plot/character development.

Summary: Excellent treat for DVD lovers
Review: The reason I gave this DVD five stars was not because I thought the action scenes were cool or the acting was excellent, but beacause the DVD had great special features. Which included deleted scenes, interviews, and even T.V spots. Fellow customers here, we are reviewing the DVD, not the quality of the movies. I am not trying to cut up your reviews, but just to take the topic into consideration. We are reviewing the DVD, not the movie.

Summary: You people are taking this WAY too seriously.
Review: I can't believe how many bad reviews this film gets. Sure, it's not the same quality as the original holy trilogy, but it's just a movie! Quit over analyzing it and just enjoy it. There aren't many movies that have so many rich characters like these movies do. I'm a diehard Star Wars fan, and I loved the film. It's obvious that many people here hate Star Wars in general. If they liked the movie, they would be fans. It's just a movie. Enjoy it. You'll be sorry when there is no more Star Wars in 2006 and beyond. You'll wish you appreciated it.

Summary: An Excellent Edition to the Star Wars Saga
Review: Episode 2 finally starts presenting some of the deep political turmoil in a tangable fashion. The story of the dark side starts to unfold, and the struggles of Anakin also begin to take shape. The human factors of this movie provide a good basis for the future of the saga. There are a few points at which the interactions between characters seem a little off, such as Padme's initial reaction to seeing Anakin again, as well as Jar Jar's acceptance speech attempt. But other times, such as the interaction of Anakin and Padme on the grassy hills of Naboo have some great chemistry. As the plot builds towards the discovery of Count Dooku's separatist activities, the speed of the movie increases as well. The action picks up from an already good pace. The events proceed smoothely towards the epic jedi battle, an experience which should not be missed by any Star Wars fan. Following the battle of the Jedi, the Clone Army arrives to rescue the loosing jedi. As the battle insues, the visuals take on an awesome scale. Leaving the battle to focus on the escape of Dooku, the duel between Yoda and Dooku takes place. Lucas' team created a very believeable, and definately cool sequence in this duel. It is also not to be missed. Throughout the entire film, the visuals are excellent. By far the most visually rewarding of the Star Wars series so far. The effects are complex, colorful, and full of reality (for the star wars universe that is). The imagery is rich, and yet not overpowering. Overall, I thoroughly enjoy Episode 2. Each time I watch it, I gain a further appreciation of the film. The documentaries on the DVD extra's disk should not be missed either. Very interesting. They provide further insite, and add to the appreciation of the film. As for the "hidden" outtakes reel... hillarious. If you enjoy any of the Star Wars films, buy this movie.

Summary: Absolute drivel
Review: What a waste of acting talent,except for Natalie Portman and the Vader moron who have no talent. Oh, those are the main characters? Whoops! Well the plot was good,...um...I take that back, there was no plot. Yeah but the special effects were, like, awesome, the best! Oh..the Matrix and Lord of the Rings have better CGI? Oh...sorry, scratch that too.
Yeah, but like, it's Star Wars! Dude, Star Wars rocks!!! Well, no it doesn't, it, like [stinks], dude.

Summary: Anakin's Journey to the Dark Side Begins
Review: This episode picks up ten years after the events of "The Phantom Menace". Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christiansen) has continued his development as a Jedi Knight under the watchful eye of Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan MacGregor). However, there seems to be a change taking place in Anakin. He has developed a rebellious side, and he doesn't always follow the advice of Obi Wan. Also, he has developed very strong feelings for Padme (Natalie Portman). These type of feelings are forbidden for a Jedi. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan has discovered the forming of a massive clone army on an uncharted planet, while Dooku, a Jedi who has turned to the dark side, has developed an army of droids with the purpose of destroying the remaining Jedi. I thought this episode was better than episode I. The film flows along at a much faster pace than "The Phantom Menace", and the action scenes are much better. The final battle between the Jedi Knights and the droids is eye-popping, and Yoda's light saber duel with Dooku is good as well. Star Wars fans only have to wait three more years before the loose ends of this film are tied up. Hopefully, episode III will be as good as episode II.

Summary: Worst so far yet
Review: This has to be by far the most disappointing installment of the Star Wars series. I think Mr. Lucas should take lessons from Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings. The special effects will impress you if you are a 12 year old with a penchant for nintendo but if you are looking for the story, forget it this is not the movie. The acting is atrocious though i can't blame the actors entirely since the screenplay is atrocious too. The story lacks heart. I didn't care for any of the characters and as for Master Yoda's fighting skills, that is just pyrotechnics not storytelling.

Summary: Clumsy at first, gets better
Review: The first half of this thing, as visually impressive as it was (Industrial Light and Magic and their Linux boxes do nice work) seemed clumsy, almost as if Lucas was bored with his material. The romance (and I LIKE romance!) was so poorly handled it was painful to watch. Then, about half way through the movie, somebody threw a switch,and it got a lot better, as engaging as anything in the original trilogy. The only thing that saved the early portion of the film was the dry sense of humor of Ewan McGregor as Obiwan. Let's hope the next episode is more like the second half of this thing.
