Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones

I just went to see Star Wars Episode II - Attack of the Clones (offical site) and for me it falls between these reviews from the

BBC (pretty good) and

Salon (rubbish)

That isn't much help as a review, so

I enjoyed parts of it but Lucas still can't write dialogue, and McGregor is the only stand-out main lead that can act (Christopher Lee is a cameo). The Anakin character played by Hayden Christensen is unsympathetic and unrealistic. But anyhoo, amazing effects, battles and rich worlds. A somewhat twisty plot that is more confusing than clever.

Would I see it again? Yes (I'll read up on stuff to look for second time around)
