Hey, I do LOTR too! :-)
As much as I was anticipating "Attack Of The Clones", it's **really** left me feeling flat and unimpressed. The only two characters who really "felt" like they were straight out of classic Star Wars were Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee, who has the most WICKED Star Wars villain of all time with this role IMHO). I wanted to cry at least once during Episode II: never happened.
By contrast, not only did my fiancee and me cry at times during "Fellowship Of The Ring", but during the trailer for "The Two Towers" as well :-)
- Doesn't TTT look great? - At least you have that to look forward to! - Sorry about AOTC...
