We see Mace Windu alot more in the film and is in some good action scenes but Jar Jar doesn't die in any slow, painful and gruesome way and not once is there a "Meesa gonna die!!!" in the film - he's perfectly safe and is never in danger...but he's actually not as annoying and is hardly in the film!
The film is a little long and Anakin has finally learnt not to say "Yipee!" every two or three minutes which is good but the dialogue still isn't that great. But the new Anakin just really annoyed me sometimes...but he's better than the last one.
George Lucas' attempts to make anakin kinda failed really. Anakin is not a bad guy, but is, in fact 100% good. He suffers only from raging impatience ect. What nineteen year old doesn?t? We should have seen something truly evil from him. Anakin is still the unselfish, little boy we suffered through the first episode. It really makes me wonder how Lucas is going to turn him into a cold hearted, selfish, serial killer Darth Vader.
The story is this: some separatist rebels led by a rogue Jedi attempt to assassinate Padmé Amildala, now a senator, and Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are sent to protect her. They capture the assassin, Zam, who says she was hired by a bounty hunter Jango Fett - during which Obi-Wan uncovers a plot to overthrow the Republic and learns of the formation of a massive army of clone soldiers and one is Jango Fett's clone son: a young Boba Fett who will soon become the galaxy's famous bounty hunter in episodes 4, 5 and 6!
Jango Fett was probably the best character in the whole film apart from Mace Windu and Yoda. Yoda is absolutely amazing in this film - he really is the Jedi Master towards the end where he'll be in the lightsabre duel which everyone was talking about. ("Kick your a$$ I will!")
When I first heard this I thought that it was a stupid idea and will never happen but then I saw clips off the internet with him holding his lightsabre and couldn't believe it. But poor Yoda must of had a really bad buttache just sitting in the Jedi Council saying "May the Force be with you", "The Dark Side clouds everything!" and others all day so I waited for the scene to come up and when it came i couldn't believe it. Yoda's the best fighter out there and even though the scene was incredibly short it was still great.
But the lightsabre duel isn't really the best bit in the film though and the one in The Phantom Menace is still the best and I'd be surprised if it can be topped. Yeah, in the trailer you see Anakin fighting the villain with two lightsabres but in the actul movie that only lasts for five seconds. The best bit is when the clones and the Jedi attack and its so good especially the bits with mace Windu and Jango Fett. And the chase scene in Coruscant (which looked a lot like the future of Los Angeles "Blade Runner"...) near the beginning.
I really wonder what we are in store for in Episode III and I am beginning to doubt that Lucas can ever achieve what he did with the original series. Again, I liked AOTC very much, but it?s becomes obvious, after watching it several times, that it?s nothing like the original films that I love so much. Once the eye candy wears off, and it always does (have you watched The Matrix lately? Remember how awesome that film looked three years ago. Now it?s very plain looking), I wonder if there?ll be much left to like in AOTC.
I'll have to see "Spider-Man" and "Minority Report" next - this one is light years better than The Phantom Menace and is one of the best films out this year! Go see it. NOW! |
