Summary: Okay.
Review: Lucas had done a pretty good job at this film. Star Wars films had always hailed in visual effects, and they ae so awesome in this film. THe battle scenes are so spectacular and mind blowing. There's no ... Jake Lloyd (THANK GOD) in this film, but a bit of Jar Jar ... . The plot a decent, a fits in with the other Star Wars episodes. Yoda was abit crazy and unatural, but oh well. Love story was not very good. Dialogue was bad.They shouldn't have brattish teenagers in this film. I especially hate the part when Anakin says that he hate obi wna, and that he thinks thatobi wan is jealous about him, and Anakin brags about being the greates jedi ever. That's [bad] dialogue.It's just sickening. That disgraces Star Wars. I hope Episode 3 will really promise something that all Star Wars fans all have been waiting for, without the teens,without cute and cuddly characters, without a bad dialogue, not so happy (like episode 1-BOMB), more dark, and more evil. THat's what the fans want.

Summary: A little biased
Review: Okay ... I am a Star Wars geek (not a 'Master Geek', mind you, but I own a interesting little collection of Star Wars novels and books, and I can probably tell you the home planets of most prominent characters, and some that aren't so prominent), so I may be biased, but this movie is great! It's definately 5 stars. I dont know how someone could sit down, watch this movie and NOT be entertained. Come on, nobody EXPECTS this to win Academy Awards for acting, but that doesn't mean its not a fantastic way to spend a couple of hours. Besides all of this, the DVD has some great features, all of which I've watched, as well as the secret 'bloopers roll' which is hilarious. I think its a must have DVD, Star Wars fan or not!

Summary: Lucas must be banished!
Review: "There will be no burning here today! We will banish him!" A cute line from "Highlander." It is quite appropriate for the current state of Star Wars affairs.

Summary: Dumb and dumber
Review: Episode IV was dumb, this is dumber. Now really, people, don't y'all hate this movie? I was underwhelmed. Where is Jim Carey when you need him?

Summary: Not great
Review: Just to offset the ridiculous 5-star reviews on what really is a 2.5 star effort. Really, just long and tedious.

Summary: Slightly too technical
Review: In this second episode Lucas is literally trapped by his technique and tools. The part devoted to the computerized scenes is too important and we definitely have too much of it. We are like in an electronic game. The important section when the new Jedi falls in love with the Senator, when this Jedi, Skywalker, who is going to become Dearth Vader neglects his duties in the name of love and in the face of frustration (the death of his mother, the limitations imposed onto him by his master Obi-Wan,...) is not deep enough, not emotional enough, not human enough. The actor is even slightly stiff and the situation is always too prudish. And yet it is out of this passion that Leia and Luke will be born. We definitely understand that the Chancelor of the Republic, who was elected in the first episode, is the traitor who will become the emperor but we do not understand what his connection with the Force, with the power of Jedis is. How can he have apprentices, on the dark side of the force ? How can that be without the knowledge of the Jedis themselves ? It probably has to come in the third episode, but this makes this episode surreal and dehumanized. Yet a good piece of entertainment if you like computerized action and a good lesson that dictatorship is always produced by democracy, that dictatorship always emerges from democracyDr Jacques COULARDEAU, University of Perpignan

Summary: Great Movie
Review: The movie Star Wars Episode II. Was an okay movie I mean I liked the storyline and the special effects, but I have to admit some of the acting was a let down. Especially on Ewan McGreagor's part, after seeing his acting performance in Moulin Rouge I was disapointed in his acting performance in episode II, but I'm a loyal Star Wars fan, Natalie Portmans acting wasn't that great either, I've seen her in other movies like 'Anywere but Here,' "Were The Heart Is" and Star Wars Episode I. Her acting in those movies were great, but in episode II it was kinda a let down. I pray to God that in episode III she'll do a better job and so will Ewan McGregors. It'd be kinda bad if their acting didn't improve in episode III that'll be the height of their acting and they'll have to act more dramatic. Let's see Natalie is going to have to deal with the birth of Luke and Leia and her husband turning to the darkside and for Ewan he's going to have to deal with the lost of his jedi companions and his pupils fall to the darkside. I've heard some people say that episode III is already looking better then episodes I & II. Maybe in episode III it'll get back to the excellence of episodes IV-VI and the magic will be rediscoverd. ~Hannah

Summary: Let's review some fatcs:
Review: 1. This is not a very good movie.
2. Biased people write in to give it five stars.
3. Lucas HAS lost his touch.
4. Unless the next movie is absolutely spectacular, this trilogy will be seen as a horrific failure of a once great series.

Summary: It's all about Marketing
Review: Lucas is only interested in selling merchandise. Nothing more. I'm disappointed in his two latest efforts. I know no one who is interested in any further Star Wars flicks.
Rating:
Summary: Blah, blah, blah
Review: What an overbloated affair. CGI was good, not great. But remove an actual story line, and this is what you get. Star Wars is now below the radar screen. Watch out for THE MATRIX!!!!
