Review By Blake French:
- Words escape me ... ecstasy
Although the first three Star Wars films provided mindless
fun, their return to theaters in the 90’s seemed like a desperate
marketing franchise. The release of The Phantom Menace
confirmed that theory; it shoveled special effects-laden nonsense at
anxious fans who in turn purchased all Star Wars merchandise on
the market—and believe me, there was a lot of Star Wars
merchandise available.
That said, Star Wars—Episode 2: Attack of the Clones blew
me out of my seat. This is not another Phantom Menace franchise;
it’s a phenomenal, eye-popping feast for the senses. Certainly,
fans will again empty their pockets for Star Wars merchandise,
but this time around they will get something special and entertaining
in return: a movie that proudly stands up to the originals.....more
Review By Peter Veugelaers:
- Better than a cheese royale: buy one while its hot
Forget
Star Wars. I’m looking to George Lucas’ collaboration with director Steven Spielberg to
make the next Indiana Jones adventure. Let’s hope that magic doesn’t get lost in the new
century, as it has with Attack of the Clones.
It is not
all bad news, though. It is hugely entertaining mainly because of its visual experience to
be only fully felt at the cinema. State-of-the-art computer effects are eye blowing and
conceptual design is highly imaginative....more

Jackson "Strikes Back"
Despite some tepid reviews, Attack of
the Clones still raked in an impressive $110 million just four days
after release. In his first post Star Wars interview, Access
Hollywood's Pat O'Brien tracked down the purple light-saber wielding
Mace Windu, Samuel L. Jackson.
When asked about the huge box-office
returns, Samuel said, "I thought it was fantastic. Everybody tried
to make a horse race out of it. George [Lucas] had to beat Spider-Man.
It had to be bigger or Star Wars would not be considered as
successful. It was that kind of deal."....more |
The
Political Brilliance of Darth Vader
The Weekly Standard's Jonathan V. Last makes the case for
Imperial Rule, in which "a large group of regional potentates,
each with access to a sizable army and star destroyers, runs local
affairs."
