2002

This year saw the epic battle between the second part of two trilogies - the Star Wars prequels and The Lord of the Rings. The Two Towers won the critical and commercial battle, but for my money Attack of the Clones was the more fun, despite its flaws. Meanwhile, a radioactive wall crawler ruled them all, at least at the North American box office.
