Episode II Surpasses $116 Million at Box Office

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the that-kinda-cash-buys-a-lot-of-wookies dept.

Domasi writes "The Force is with George Lucas again as the fifth installment of the Star Wars saga, 'Attack of the Clones,' took in $116.3 million in its first four days and to become the second-fastest film behind only "Spider-Man"." Spider-man is better. But I plan to see both of them again.

    The comic-book atmosphere is a big part of Spider-Man's success, IMHO, and the New Yorkers are very very much a part of it.

    My favorite part was where Spiderman (in his "ordinary" persona) sits down with his arch-nemesis (also in his "ordinary" persona) for Thanksgiving Dinner. Big plot device because that's where the bad guy figures out who the good guy is.

    I think Star Wars would be better if it got back more towards its roots in sci-fi serials.
