As usual, Mr. Cranky has some choice words for SW2 - ATOC. http://www.mrcranky.com/movies/attackoftheclones.html Some quotes: -- The only reason you know these characters aren't computer-generated is that they don't have the expressiveness or range Lucas affords his digital creations. -- -- Let's face it: Everyone with a brain knows what's going to happen in the next episode. Senator Amidala is going to have twins and then she's going to be killed. She can't be killed by any of the Sith because then Anakin wouldn't really be compelled to join them. She's going to be killed in some freak accident and then Anakin is going to brood for a really long time until he feels like becoming Darth Vader. -- And... if you want to compare movie reviews, Yahoo has many at: http://www.yahoo.com/s/9001 What can I tell from reading these reviews? That you canna trust movie critics. A third of them like it, another third go ho hum, and the last third think it's lame. Oh well, one man's meat is another man's poison and all that. BTW, just saw Collateral Damage today. What a bloody joke. Ahnuld hasn't been making many good movies lately, though Terminator 3, with its female terminator, should be interesting. Hopefully, they'll release it before Ahnuld turns 60 (which is only about 5 years away). Regards, Madhu
