Well, everyone else is linking to it, so I guess I will to: Ain’t It Cool News has a sneak review of Attack of the Clones.
WARNING: There are some minor spoilers. Avoid them if you want to be completely blown away in the theatre. For those of you with more willpower than I, here are some non-spoiler highlights from the review:
- “Lucas succeeds with the film beyond my wildest dreams.”
- “This film makes THE PHANTOM MENACE a better film.”
- “[…] may be the most entertaining Star Wars film to date.”
- “Obi Wan Kenobi / Ewan McGregor. He owns the role now. He is the master. Kenobi is just […] cool in the film. He is […] Master Li Mu Bai (Chow Yun Fat from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon).”
I don’t honestly think anyone needs to read more of this thing than what I just copied. There is more, but you run the risk of spoilers (or implied spoilers that a half-intelligent person can figure out).
Also, it might all be a complicated publicity stunt. Who the hell knows. I have high hopes — I did already (because I have a lot of love for the 2nd part of the first trilogy), but I really do now.
