Summary: George Lucas has recaptured the Star Wars magic!!
Review: I found Episode I: The Phantom Menace to be an average movie. And with some of the choices Lucas made (Jar Jar and Anakin) hurt the movie even a smidget more. Episode II however, while still plagued by some corny one liners and odd dialogue I feel has recaptured the magic of Star Wars.This movie was just fun to watch. The first half of the movie an interesting mystery is being investigated. And while some people would call it boring, I call it involving. It's fun to follow the story as things are slowly unfolded. A true sense of drama has been added to this movie compared to other Star Wars movies. Anakin has some terrible things happening to him and you get to see how he copes with it. The story is very moving at times. This is helped alot by John Williams new theme for Star Wars. It's the love song of Episode II. And it has all of the grandeur of the original Star Wars Theme. It really fits in with the old music, and is very beautiful and epic sounding. By the end of the film you are really treated to a huge visual and emmotional assault on your senses. The Good Jedi come to the rescue of Obi-Wan and friends in a rush of adrenaline and heated CGI glory. It's truely a great moment in the Star Wars Saga and I went back to the theater 3 or 4 times to witness it. Along with some of the films other stand out moments. Including Anakin's Revenge, his breakdown, and ofcourse all bow down to Yoda! Oh my God can that old guy get down with his bad self. When did Yoda learn Jedi Kung-fu? In conclusion. This film, if you are at all interested in action adventures (obviously Star Wars fans already have seen the movie) then you should not pass this one up. It has alot of memberable scenes, some great action, great drama, and moving music. This movie, is a great Summer Blockbuster. And truely a fun movie to watch. Not to mention the DVD is PACKED with behind the scenes extras and documentaries. It's Epic!

Summary: amazing
Review: Despite some shotty acting from Hayden Chrisstiansan and Nathale Portman it was excellent. Special Effects are at a max. I suggest watching with the volume cranking. Lightsaber fight will never be the same with the volume pumping.

Summary: A true Episode II review.
Review: The fifth Star Wars movie ever, and the second prequel to the original, taking place 10 years after the events of Episode I, and would have to be considered a dark chapter in the series. The first Star Wars is IV (4) in the series, and Episode II fills in more of the blanks, and does one ... of a job doing it. With multiple planets breaking away from the Republic to form a Confederacy of Independent Systems, among them, the Trade Federation, who were aggressors in the last episode, the idea of war seems inevitable. Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), now a senator for Naboo, now finds her life in danger. Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), now a Jedi Knight, and Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), his apprentice, are assigned to protect her. After a second attempt on Padme's life is made, Obi-Wan and Anakin take off after the assassin in hot pursuit, only to have the assassin killed by the person who subcontracted her in the first place. Obi-Wan then gets some info from a contact on Coruscant, and takes off to find the real assassin, leaving Anakin, already growing resentful of his master, alone to guard Padme. They go to Naboo, Padme's homeworld, to stay in seclusion. However, she doesn't count on Anakin falling for her, and even though she claims that they have their seperate worlds, she can't deny the connection she feels toward him. One thing is already clear, Anakin begins to feel the pull of the Dark Side, not realizing what will become of him, and what impact he will have in the years to come. The growing attraction between Anakin and Padme will also have a huge impact on the fate of the galaxy. Not only that, the Dark Side has grown stronger, to the point where Yoda, a Jedi master, can't foresee the future. The Jedi connection to the Force begins to weaken as well. Mace Windu (Samuel L. Jackson), a leader on the Jedi council, makes it clear that even though the Jedi are strong, they are not only spread too thin, but there are too few to keep control. The possibility of an Army of the Republic isn't far off, but Padme resists the idea, preferring to rely on diplomacy. What Obi-Wan discovers on the planet Kamino will have one ... of an impact on the coming conflict between the Republic and the Confederacy, and will ultimately split the galaxy. When it all comes down to it, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Padme will find themselves on the planet Geonosis, and the real game will begin. From another standpoint, this DVD is the first-ever truly digital DVD, with multiple extras. True movie fanatics will crave it. The story involving Anakin and Padme seems a little dry, and I think some of the dialogue should've been written differently. The movie itself has no shortage of action, even more so than Episode I. This time, Obi-Wan is given way more to do, but I think that Mace Windu should have been a more prominent character instead of just being a supporting actor. Either way, you can't deny the genius of George Lucas, nor can you deny how much Attack of the Clones fits in to the Star Wars legacy. I assure you, get this DVD, and you won't be sorry.

Summary: Spectacular
Review: Do I need to say more?, this is by far the best Star Wars movie I've ever seen, the plot was great, and the battle scenes were wonderful.
I hope that Episode III releases what we want to see a great ending to a perfect beginning.

Summary: Childish
Review: This the first and only Star Wars movie that I've seen (I saw it in theaters) and the reason I saw it was because of the hype around "Star Wars". Everywhere you turn they talked about "Star Wars". So I went to see it and I was SHOCKED. This movie is so childish, I was shaking my head the whole time. It's full of weird looking characters that act & talk like retarded creatures, it's just so childish!!! I couldn't believe my eyes, I expected something that "could" appeal to an adult. I mean even Harry Potter looked good, it was not an insult to intelligence. I will never understand why adults camp outside theaters weeks before the release of Star Wars movies. This movie is for people under age 12, SERIOUSLY. I felt insulted as an adult viewer. The only reason I gave it 2 stars is that "perhaps" kids would enjoy it.

Summary: I didn't think it could happen
Review: but it has. Lucas has released a movie WORSE than The Phantom Menace. Let's start with the title. We knew it was gonna be bad when it was annouced as Attack of the Clones. I mean, jeez, 50s B-movies had better names. This movie is too long and poorly edited. It jumps from scene to scene in a way that just drove me nuts. Also Lucas crammed in a bunch of "romantic" scenes that make to movie far too log and make Anakin and Padme seem like they want eachother's bodies and not eachother's hearts. The lack of acting in this movie is amazing. In a scene Anain tells Padme he's murdered an entire village and she doesn't look phased in the slightest. The plot was utter [garbage] too. I mean, for God sakes, JAR JAR IS RESPOSIBLE FOR THE RISE OF THE EMPIRE?!?!?!? The rustraunt scene with Obi Wan and the 4 armed....thing was particularly stupid. If i want to seen. If I want to see American Graffiti, i'll rent it, i don't need to see a 50s diner in Star Wars. Jango Fett is even lamer than Darth maul. Abot as much charactr development and and even more pathertic death. Like Phantom Menae this movie relies to much on special effects, unfortunately they're not as good as they could be and many times the live action and CGI do not blend right. All in all this is a really boring movie that does not deserve to be called Star Wars. The only good to come from it was Yoda's fight scene which is truely impressive

Summary: Not as bad as Episode 1, but still...
Review: ...one of the worst movies of the year. This film was criminally overhyped. "It's gonna be great!" "It's Darker, and there's less Jar Jar!" "Yoda fights!" Well, to be fair, Yoda did fight, but that's really not enough to excuse how bad this was. And yeah, there was less Jar Jar, so maybe now they can focus on having less Anakin... I know this is impossible, as he is the centerpoint of the series, but so far, I am not buying the fact that DARTH FREAKING VADER, the epitome of malevolent coolness, started out as a...kid, and grew up a spoiled petulant teenager who professes his love by using sand as a metaphor. Hayden Christensen, contrary to what the Amazon reviewer said, does not display a dark side (unless the dark side is conveyed through an angsty pout). Natalie Portman is similarly wooden. Even Boba Fett becomes significantly less cool once you have seen him as a kid. Only Christopher Lee and Ewan MacGregor redeem this terrible movie, as you can at least tell they had fun with their parts. This movie is not entirely without merit, as there is the last 20 or so minutes, which has an epic land battle that is quite visually impressive. However, said battle is hardly enough to redeem 2 hours of idiot dialogue and bad acting. I used to be a Star Wars fan. Not hardcore or anything, I just loved the movies. Then these travesties came out. I have given up completely on Lucas. The only thing that would surprise me now, would be if he actually let a competant screenwriter handle episode 3, but God knows he won't. Save your money and buy the Fellowship of the Ring the director's cut. It's a far better movie, and unlike this one, it will stand the test of time.
