Summary: WARNING!
Review: This is probably one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Though I would prefer to watch this over "Pulp Fiction" and "Doom Generation", there aren't many others that would fall behind. Yoda was a horrible disapointment, Samuel L. Jackson needs to stop acting all together, John Davis could have written a better script, and the casting director needs to be fired. Half way into the movie I thought I was watching "Spaceballs 2."
There is only two reasons this movie got a star;1: The special effects
2: I could not give it zero
The villian is an old grey-headed man, how disapointing is that? This thing, has an extremely slow start with way too many one-liners. It's wasn't bad enough that Jar-Jar played a small role in the film, so to make it worse, without ruining it for the ones who haven't seen it, he is placed in a "High Position" Basically, save the [money] and go watch Stuart Little 2, you'll probably get more enjoyment out of it.

Summary: This was the worst Star Wars movie but Most action packed
Review: This had to be the worst Star Wars movie yet. It had terrrible acting, and terrible Dialogue. It was also practicly all computer generated ...! It had to be the most boring Star Wars movie also. Even more boring than "The Empire Strikes Back".On the other hand it had to have had The coolest most kick ... battle at the end, with more action than all the others combined.. I'm also a Star Wars Fan so the movie was still interesting to me. That's why I gave it Four stars.

Summary: Comes as close to redemption as we'll get.
Review: Thankfully, AOTC is a great fun ride, and one heck of a Star Wars movie. You can almost rate it as 2 things, one as an individual piece, which proves somewhat hard to do and then as a piece of the bigger Star Wars epic and how it compares to the other films and their individual places in the series. Yeah, I'm sure by now you've heard the 'wooden' acting complaints, which is kind of weird as when you compare the acting here to the other movies, it's well above Episode I (lucas learned something) and just about at the levels of the original trilogy. The galaxy is in disarray. Systems are pulling out of the Senate and the threat of war hangs over all. Senator Padme Amidala, former queen of Naboo, is hurrying back to vote on the army creation act, which she strongly opposes. She's under a seemingly constant death threat and is assigned Jedi protectors Obi-Wan Kenobi and his padawan Anakin Skywalker to keep her safe. Needless to say, adventure spreads like wild fire and Obi-Wan is off to play Sherlock Holmes while Anakin is left to assist Padme into seclusion to keep her safe. Needless to say, romance ensues when the public servants are left to themselves and Obi-Wan finds more than he bargained for. The romance is workable at worst and Obi-Wan's run-ins with the bounty hunter Fetts are things that fanboy dreams are made of. The final half hour or so really demonstrates the vast world that digital film and effects has and will offer us in the future. Maybe Lucas uses too much CGI, but it's his film and luckily the picture is visually breathtaking. I only wish I could see it digitally projected to get the full experience. And, to his and his ILM team's credit, the digital characters and surroundings do become one with the real things when you don't keep telling yourself to try to find the CG additions. I think Lucas also realizes that someone had to make a film like this and almost formally kick off the digital film age. Star Wars fans (forget Episode I) will absolutely love this one and it also probably might have more appeal to the 'outsider' or 'general' audience than any other Star Wars film. Superb popcorn flick sure to be a summer favorite.

Summary: Excellent
Review: Attack of the Clones continues in the elusive story that The Phantom Menace started. Many claim there is no story, but it's intended to be that way. The Jedi, who are naive to the inner-workings of Palpatine, are in the dark as well as those that view these films. The entire plot will be revealed in Episode III and those that claimed there was no story will be smacking their foreheads and forced to go back and watch Episode I and II. God forbid you take a hint when Episode I is titled "The PHANTOM Menace." This film is executed almost without flaw. The actions sequences are the best in a film, the comedy is great, and the story is very climactic with many twists along the way. Hayden Christensen is what really makes this film a STAR WARS movie, with his quirky acting style that truly makes him a Star Wars character, something we haven't seen sine Mark Hamill. A digital Yoda that doesn't look too realistic can't hurt the overall beauty of this film, with some of the best looking scenery ever in a film. Some of the dialogue will make you groan, but this is as good of a Star Wars as Empire, and definately one of the best fantasy films ever made.

Summary: "....the Force is stronge with this one."
Review: In the on going saga known as Star Wars, we are given by far the best edition yet. This film has all the essential pieces to the story you would expect and leaves us thirsting for the last installment to have all of our questions answered. Although a great story, the acting could have been better, but it wasn't really all that great in the original three either. If you want an Oscar winning performance, see something from Tom Hanks or Denzel Washington, if you want to see an installment in one of the best stories ever told with great special effects, go see SW EP II.

Summary: This movie was pretty good.
Review: Although some of the dialogue IS pretty bad and the love story scenes does make you cringe, I'd say that overall this was a great movie that you wouldn't want to miss. It could have been better but it's still worth seeing. (Especially the Yoda scene!) Actually, I was surprised that so many people find the new series inferior to the old trilogy. I am a "new" Star Wars fan so I did not watch the old trilogy until after I watched the two new episodes (I cringed through the outdated robots and spaceships ;)). Frankly, I didn't think the old trilogy was that much better than the new one. I was especially disappointed by "The return of the Jedi". Darth Vader was NOT the evil villain that I had come to hate/love. He was so wishy washy, and the way he killed Palpatine was just plain ridiculous (so if I ever confront Palpatine, all I have to do is wait for him to torture another and then I just pick him up and throw him overboard despite the fact that one of my hand is cut off, eh?). There were many parts of the old trilogy I found boring and I actually prefer episode one over it. I guess it's because I didn't watch it when it first came out and didn't grow up with it? Anyway, I can't wait for episode three. I hope George Lucas does a good job with it (pleeeaassee hire a good script writer!). Since most of the exciting things happen it episode three, I'm sure it will be a fantastic film if made properly.

Summary: A Movie No One Can Clone
Review: Star Wars II is everything it should be, and more. The acting was perfected, as were the characters and the special effects. I dont know how they do this every time! It is amazing! The fight scenes are awesome, especially the one between Yoda and the Count. It is the beginning of an exciting romance, and the beginning of a dark destiny. Star Wars II deserves every single star I gave it. It is perfect for anyone to see, unless you hate Star Wars. This movie was stunning. It is hard to think that sequals can outdo the first movie, but this one sure came close. This movie was worth the money, and the time. All the time the directors and cast and crew spent on it was spent well, and it sure is a masterpiece. Everyone should see this movie. If you have already seen it, go see it again. The plot twists and turns, but is easy enough to follow. It is exciting to wonder how everything will turn, and what the next movie will be like. Star Wars Episode II was a masterpiece, and a masterpiece that no movie can clone.

Summary: DOA!
Review: A long, long time ago and not too far from where I live now a guy named George Lucas made some pretty cool movies. Now all he does is make two and half hour commercials for his toys! There's not one moment of real acting in this entire picture. The movie plays out as if they decided to save time and money and skip those tedious rehearsals! It's as if they filmed the first read the "actors" do to familiarize themselves with the script and the other "actors". The effects look like a Saturday morning cartoon! Dump most of the computer animation and bring back the model makers! The entire experience was depressing. The only good thing I can say about it is there's less Jar-Jar. You should avoid this clinker at all costs. If we keep encouraging them to make trash like this by handing over our money they will be more than happy to oblige us. Oh, and as a side note: Ewan McGregor = Sir Alec Guinness as a young Obi-Wan? What a joke! Sorry Ewan you can't get there from here.

Summary: BETTER THAN ANY OTHER STAR WARS MOVIE!
Review: Star Wars Episode II is probably the best Star Wars movie yet. Sure the love scenes were bad but Lucas said this one would be the most painful one because of the love scenes but the action scenes more than made up for the love scenes. Now that I think of it this is probably a SCI-FI Comedy because when Yoda was fighting nearly all the veiwers were laughing!. The Jango Vs. Obi-Wan fight was brilliant! so was the speeder chase! The monsters were brilliantly designed and all the special effect shots turned out brilliantly. My fav scene was when Padme, Ani, C-3PO and R2-D2 were in the droid factory! that bit was brilliant but i've heard some of the deleted scenes like when Ani meets Padme's family and and extended droid factory scene were Yoda is fighting the super battle droids. I can't wait for D.V.D and i've heard it will be coming out in fall 2002! The next film will be even better. I can't wait for the Obi-Wan Vs. Ani/Darth Vader fight I hope Yoda will make an appearence in that fight!

Summary: This is definently worth waiting in line to see.
Review: But you have to see it twice to be able to really appreciate it. I saw it the first time, and my eyes would go out of focus because it went too fast. But when I saw it the second time I loved it! (the first time I wasn't so sure) And if you read the book after you read the movie, well that makes it even better. You'll love this one. Believe me. My dad still calls Anakin a jerk, but hey, we all have our opinions. But here's mine. George did a good job, Hayden is great for the role, and Natalie puts a good look in it. I'm almost sure you'll enjoy it.
