Ian Douglas: Okay, so I will probably be crucified for these comments, but at least they are honest and not politically correct. This was the first Star Wars movie I have seen (am currently watching Episode 1 on TV), and quite frankly, I can't see what the fuss is all about. Episode II had some good bits -- mainly, the made-for-videogame action and chase sequences. It had great special effects. But the storyline itself was confused with a huge gaping hole in the plot. The dialogue made Titantic look good. And as for the art direction, it was the most confused thing I have seen since ''Titus'' -- a curious mishmash of agricultural squatters and space-age high tech. The film also loses points for trying to rip off Gladiator with an arena scene. I know there are many Star Wars fans out there who will now proceed to tell me just how wrong and clueless I am....
