Episode II - brief impressions
Just seen it. Mostly laughable script (bad jokes), but the action is great fun. Yoda is worth the price of a ticket alone, but be warned - you'll sit through some annoying love tripe just to get to him.
It's better the The Phantom Menace, I'll give you that. It manages to maintain the excitement Episode 1 lost after its screen crawl - the same feeling you had throughout The Empire Strikes Back. Although the plot is driven by specific scenes Lucas must have had in mind (cheap plot devices to allow further events, like the autopilot at the end of Episode 1) before the film was finished, it's still worth the admission fee.
