Summary: PEOPLE GIVE IT A REST!!!!
Review: Ok look, I know everyone says that these new films aren't living up to expectations... well how can they?? We started watching this spectacular odyssey 20+ years ago and everyone was enthralled by the the shear special effects and the out of this world settings in the first three films. Everyone keeps complaining about the dialogue and some of the annoying characters in the new films, but, I saw all of the original movies when they came out. I can remember people complaining about the clunky dialogue of Han and Leia in there love connection and chewbacca with his incesant growling and moaning just like they're complaining now about Hayden and Portman's dialogue and the exponentially annoying Jar Jar Binks. Another problem is that all of the original teenage Star Wars fans that saw the original trilogy, so long ago, are 30 something now and aren't as easily impressed as a younger viewer would be. But think of it this way, if the new movies had been release first, back in the 1970's, I'm positive we'd be disappointed with the release of the old movies now. The original trilogy special effects would be underwhelming and the lightsaber battles would [stink]. But enough what if's..when the dust settles and years from now we look back, we will realize what extraordinary masterpieces these new films are too. The special effects are still astounding and cutting edge, the plot is almost, if not, as intriguing as the original trilogy. You have to understand it's hard to make a prequel as full of suspense as the sequel, because... duh.. we already know what's going to happen (Anakin Skywalker evolves into Darth Vader, brings balance to the force, the end). So, to all of you who don't like this movie because of it's acting... this is Star Wars.. not Shakespeare. True Star Wars fans go to these movies to see the [cool]lightsaber battles, not a recreation of Hamlet. I know when I go to the theatre to see this type of movie, as with all science fiction flicks, it gives me an escape from the daily [junk] we see in our real lives. So as a reminder to all of you self appointed movie critics out there who are ready to hang Lucas, just keep one thing in mind....HE'S THE ONE WHO BROUGHT US THE FIRST THREE FILMS!!!

Summary: Waste of time
Review: I went in to see this movie with high expectations since i had heard that it was superior to The Phantom Menace so I guess i was just setting myself up for a letdown. Its sad that with all the money at their disposal that they couldn't come up with a decent script and dialogue that isn't laughable. I sat in the theatre almost embarrassed that i brought friends with me to see this movie. The movie is awful and the scenes between Anakin and the princess have the worst acting i've ever seen in a mainstream movie. The only thing that is good in this movie is the fight scenes, which is what i have heard a lot of people say. Don't waste your time with this movie, it's not even as good as The Phantom Menace.

Summary: Doesn't quite live up to Star Wars standards...
Review: Usually, when I go to see a Star Wars movie, I have it all firmly implanted in my mind. That's because it was so memorable. But when I saw Attack of the Clones, right when a left the theater, I forgot everything in the movie. I went back next week to see why I'd fogotten everything, and I discovered that it wasn't so much that I forgot everything, but there was nothing to remember. Star Wars movies are known for being long, but every second is packed with story and intrigue. But in Attack of the Clones, The story drags and doesn't seem to go anywhere, and after only the 47th scene with Padme and Anakin making kissy faces at each other, the movie starts to get old. In short, the 45 minutes of romance slows the film down to a steady crawl, making me wonder why it was listed as Science Fiction/Action. There was twice as much Romance and plot-building as there was Action. Speaking of plot building, It's basically the whole movie, with about 20 minutes of Fun, Star-Wars action that we've all become attatched to. If you were to take out all unnecesary plot-building, cheesy romance, and ... dialouge, the whole movie would be about 45 min. long. However, there is some good news. The Yoda vs. Count Dooko battle was very entertaining, and it wasn't nearly as bad as The Phantom Menace. I will end up buying this movie, since I love all Star Wars, but I'm very disappointed. ...

Summary: Great Star Wars movie, is more attached to later episodes
Review: I dunno why those people say it was bad in the reviews, Attack of the Clones was one of the greatest movies in the Star Wars saga. the visual effects are great but thats not what makes it great. It has a great storyline and is more attached to episode IV than the phantom menace was, especially since in Episode V, ObiWan's ghost said YODA was once his master, yet in episode I his master was clearly QUI GON JIIN. A better name for it wouldve been The Clone Wars or something creative like that, Attack of -(insert something here)- is too overused in old 80s teenage mutant ninja turtles-like movies, I like cheese, before Attack of the Clones, Return of the Jedi was my favorite Star Wars movie, My fav movie of all is Fight Club, I hate happy endings, Attack of the Clones doesnt have a happy ending,....

Summary: Enjoyable, worthy Star Wars film.
Review: One problem with this film, as was the same with Phantom Menace. And that is, no one will be satisfied. High expectations are what ruins these films. But once we get above this we can start to realise that this film is great. I've never been so jazzed as when Yoda had that look on his face and got angry. Anakin I thought was superb, the evil in his eyes during the Tusken Raider scene is chilling. Perhaps too many CGI effects to give it a truly darker feel, and I would advise Lucas to get someone to polish up his dialogue, but all in all a very enjoyable film that will be taking a place on my shelf.

Summary: The Yoda Fight
Review: I agree with what was said about the Yoda fight scene: It could have been longer, but I have a thought on that of my own. I think that, since the Yoda fight scene was so short this time around, that there may be a longer fight scene in Star Wars Episode III. In "The Empire Strikes Back", Yoda is fabled to be a Jedi Warrior. I think we get to see that in "Star Wars Episode III: The one that ties it all together". :-P Just had to throw that in there. Let's just hope.

Summary: What? ... It's just Unbelievable
Review: The way Lucas makes movies is an innovative and very personal way to make them. He's an independant director (not dependant from Hollywood), wich means that he doesn't make movies for the like of the people. The critics aren't more than the fashion products, but that always changes. That's why he won't listen to them. As I said: he's an independant director. In an interwiew published in the EPS in the April 28th this year, he ex'plains his way to make movies: "All my movies, someway, are speechless movies and they're designed that way. The sound effects and the musical score itself are united in a sound mosaic wich merges with the picture to explain the story. The dialogue is reasonably insignificant. I've never been a great fan of the dialogue. I use it more like a sound effect, like a hint or element to explain certain expoliation points in the plot; but, in the last term, one of the keys is that the expectant can experience these movies onlt through the picture. This is due to the way in wich the story is told through the sound band and the picture. The words, the dialogues are an added that aren't strictly necesary to make the whole thing work. I've always done that and I like to continue doing that. It's my style, tmy tendency. I've passed a long time treating the sound band as an unified all, a mix of effects, music, words... Something almost poetic. The sound is the 50% of the experience". So... What do you think eh? It's not bad acting... it's not that Lucas just lost it's touch... it's his style. It's a very different way to tell a story. Then don't complain if you don't even know how to write of make a movie.

Summary: Pure and Enjoyable
Review: ...P>This movie was pure in its adherence to the original Star Wars universe and continues to develop the back story of the original trilogy. Not only was it exactly what us REAL Star Wars fans needed to see (of course, we always want more), but it gave us glimpse of what is to come in Episode III. George Lucas makes his films, his stories, and shoots and tells his stories the way he wants, and I believe him to be a rare gift in film. Someone who does what he wants.... He is the true free spirit in film, but with the resources to make good, pioneering movies....

Summary: Everyone thinks they are criticts
Review: FORGET WHAT ANYONE ELSE HAS SAID, STARWARS EPISODE 2 IS ONE OF GEORGE LUCAS'S MOST BRILLIANT WORKS. GIVEN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY IS SO FABULOUSE IT CAN ALMOST NOT BE BEAT, AND I WILL TELL U BEFORE ANYONE ELSE EPISODE 1 WAS A LET DOWN MOVIE, BUT LUCAS TOTALLY REDEEMED HIM SELF WITH THIS MOVIE. THE CASTING IF BRILLIANT THE CHARACTERS COULDNT HAVE BEEN BETTER SELECTED, THE PLOT MAY BE PREDICTABLE BUT DONT WORRY WHEN U THINK U KNOW WHATS HAPPENING LUCAS WILL THROW U A LOOP. THE MUSIC, SETTINGS, CREATURES, THEY ALL IMPROVE UPON MOVIE, I WENT TO THEATRE 6 TIMES AND SAW IT. DONT TELL ME IT ISNT WORTH YOUR TIME. I THINK THIS IS THE 2ND BEST STARWARS FILM COMPARED TO RETURN OF THE JEDI. THIS MOVIE IS SO WORTH YOUR TIME BUT HEY ALL U OLD PEOPLE THAT HATE IT, DEAL WITH IT, THIS MOVIE IS A WORK OF ART!!!
