Summary: 1st is the worst, 2nd is the Best, and 3rd is yet to be seen
Review: "I have a bad feeling about this," says the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in Episode 1. And i felt the same way about Episode 1. THIS DVD however, Episode 2 : Attack of the Clones, is one of the greatest masterpeices ever made, second only to the Extended Version of Fellowship of the Ring. The Features are well worth the time spent viewing them and the sound quality is amazing. The video quality is UNRIVALED, as it was taken directly from it's source. This is due to the fact that Ep2 was filmed totally Digitally. So no conversion was needed.

Summary: Fun DVD with great value!
Review: This DVD is a must have for Star Wars fans and will also be enjoyed by fans of action, adventure or sci-fi. There are 2 discs, the first DVD is the movie which has available an audio track of commentary by George Lucas and other big names in the production of the movie. This is great insight into the challenges, accomplishments and motivations behind the film. On disc 2 has a wide range of specials which cover behind-the-scenes information from many viewpoints and on diverse topics. The sheer number of items to view is impressive, and I have spent a day just watching different documentaries and featurettes. Disc 2 also contains a number of deleted scenes from the film, some of which are eye-opening in terms of some character's motivations, and all of which are preceeded by a short interview with Lucas or another Lucasfilm honcho.
In the end, this DVD and its predecessor for Episode I have spoiled me; few other DVD releases right now are doing what they are doing. Step up and grab this DVD!

Summary: Nice eye candy, but....
Review: The interesting thing is that I walked out of the theater thinking this was a four star movie, but when I bought the DVD and watched it again, the little nagging questions I had leaving the theater got bigger and I was left wondering what happened. I agree with what a previous reviewer said about Lucas making the movie HE wanted, not necessarily what the short attention span audience wants. That's what happened here. The compelling back story to the wonderful original Trilogy is waiting to be told, but instead we are given endless action sequences that completely gloss over the story. One example is why is someone trying to kill Amidala? Ok so the Trade Federation wants to get her. Ooh, nice motive. Actually, in one of the deleted scenes, Amidala actually gives a speech before the Senate urging them not to create an army of the Republic. Lucas' comment was "Well, we needed to move things along, so we just cut it out" Well George, moving things along you missed developing the story. In the scene's place we have Jar Jar proposing that they create an army. Huh? I'm confused.And that's not all. The love story between Anakin and Padme seemed forced as well. I felt like it was the stormtrooper in Episode IV telling us to "Move along" "Nothing to see here, keep moving" Also, how does someone go from being a typical teenager to being the most nasty and evil guy in the galaxy? The transition wasn't made in this film. I personally don't see how Lucas will be able to make this transition in Episode III. The bottom line is that I am really disappointed. This Trilogy had the potential to be greater than the first, alas George Lucas opted to take the same route that video game makers have taken. Provide stunning visuals with little substance.

Summary: Irony sweet irony
Review: First of all if you like Star wars you will love this movie. The things happening behind the scene are pure genius. I love the way George uses irony in this one like in the romance scenes. I am amased why it gets so much negetive criticism. If you live yourself into the movie like a child you will like it. I think many watch it with a negetive mind and only see negetive things.

Summary: Thank You Lord Lucas
Review: I will make this short and sweet. This review is for the true Star Wars fans, not the hateful morons that have jumped onto the prequel bashing bandwagon. If you love Star Wars, you have already seen this movie and you loved it. We all were pleased with the new questions and answers that appeared throughout the film and there was more than enough action to keep us happy. There was also an event in this movie that will go down as one of the most memorable moments in modern history...Yoda takes out his light saber and what happens next I still can't quite put into words. This is a must have DVD for the real Star Wars fans and we should all thank Georgie boy for coming through big time for us. He will not let us down in Episode III either and one day we will be able to watch I through VI in a single marathon, which will be something interesting. Amazing movie, awesome DVD...let the force be with you.

Summary: ...
Review: First off, the acting in this is NOT that bad. I'll admit, Hayden is sometimes way off, but what do you expect with the cheesy dialogue George spews out? Not that all of the dialogue is cheesy, but the "Love scenes" are often laughable. If I recall correctly, the original trilogy had its share of bad dialogue and goofyness as well, such as the Ewoks in Return of the Jedi. The movie does drag a little in certain places, but the last 45 minutes or so is all action and there are many action sequences spread throughout the movie. Overall, most of the acting is good,the plot is as good as can be expected from this part of the Star Wars story, and the special effects are AWESOME! The DVD is probably the best [cheap] DVD yet, over 6 hours of bonus material,great audio,great video, and a great movie. Although the movie recieved a PG rating, I'd reccomend screening it before letting young kids watch it. Limbs/heads are cut off and lots of explosions/shooting. Deserves the PG-13 rating. Movie: 4.5 out of 5
DVD: 5 out of 5

Summary: The extras on this were as good as the movie
Review: Most people know this movie is sweet redemption after the abysmal "Phantom Menace." This one isnt perfect, but it is plenty good, and the DVD extras are fantastic. Lots of fun little bits of entertainment and some lengthy and cool documentaries as well. A worthy part of the Star Wars franchise and a worthy DVD edition.

Summary: So it's not like earlier Star Wars, get over it...
Review: Yeah, I know this movie is not like earlier Star Wars movies, but come on, would you want the same thing over and over again. If you do, then I say just re-watch Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi. Sorry. It is pretty much just computer generated, but that is okay by me. There is no other way that Yoda could have fought unless it was!

Summary: Come down off the high horse, and have some empty fun.
Review: Buy the DVD, but, before you watch, write the following on a large piece of paper. Use large, legible writing. "This movie is not a masterpiece. This movie will not move me. I will not like every character. In fact, I will hate one. This movie is not the work of a genius. I will learn nothing from this movie." Now, before you watch the movie, post the reminder above and behind your television. Correctly placed, you should see the sign whenever you roll your eyes at the dialogue, the acting- pick a flaw. When you catch glimpse of the sign, read it through. Take a deep breath, and hang with the movie. In my mind, there is enough to see to reward a few viewings. The visuals are cutting edge. Clones' Yoda is the best CG character ever drawn, and gives the best acting performance of the movie. The CG settings are equally well done. The final war scene is visually excellent. Beyond the graphics, you'd have to reach for slight praise. Jar Jar is all but gone. Natalie Portman's out of her Phantom Menace garb and looking well. Ewan MacGregor does all he can with what he is given. There is an interesting exploding effect. It is Star Wars. There are light saber battles, and umm... ...and, well, nothing. That's it. That is what you'll enjoy. Beyond that, it is like sand. Rough and coarse, it gets everywhere. Not like you. You're smooth. You'll see what I mean. The movie will give a chuckle or two if you can take a step back and remember what you're looking at.
