Advantages: Interesting plot, Characters and actors very good

Disadvantages: The final part of the movie is too cahotic

I have to start saying that for me this new trilogy cannot ever reach the quality of the first we saw twenty and more years ago. Nevertheless this Episode II is certainly better of The Phantom Manace. Without talking about Episode I (I could write an opinion about that film in another moment…) I want to remark some important differences.

First the characters are more characterized, so we can better understand their motivations and behaviour, at least of the principals. Then the story is more complicated and more interesting. For instance it’s a bit too complicated, because, being the final part of the film very fast and frenetic, I had some problem to understand all… Yet I prefear a story more complicated than a too simple and not very interesting like the Episode I one.

Well, stop talking about the differences between Episode I and II.
Besides the plot that isn’t enought clear (at least for me!) I think there are only a few bad thinks. First it isn’t clear what happend in the ten year between the two films, in particular in the conspiracy in the Federation governament. More links would be better, I think. The other thinks I found not good was too actions. Yes, I mean that, even if the quality of special effects and the fights are extraordinary, they are too long. In fact we have a movie of two hour or so that is for a big part action. In a movie I want more contents. In the end, in the second part of the movie the division between Obi-One and Anakin makes the movie too dispersive, but I think it would have been very difficoult doing better.
Now the good thinks. First of all the special effect and the actios scenes are very good made. In particular the fights are beautiful. In addiction I found the characters excelent even for their introduction in the plot even for the actors that are very good. I have just wrote about the plot: interesting and intriguing, but too chaotic in the ending. I hope that it will m
ore clear in the last film of the trilogy. In the end the best: Yoda and his fight! Beautiful!

So I have to recommend to you to see this movie, because, at least for who love Star Wars, it is a “TO SEE” movie. In addiction it is a good movie for everyone.
