Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)

Summary: It's a part of the Star Wars saga!
Review: The real question is,"How does this CHAPTER fit in the context of the entire Star Warssaga?" From what I know about the movie (bits & pieces), it'sa pivotal chapter in why Anakin becomes Darth Vader, not"how". That will be covered in Episode III. As Lucas hasstated on many occasions, "When we see Return of the Jedi, we arewitnessing the father's (Anakin's) vindication through Luke, his son,without really understanding what is being vindicated. That is whatthe prequels are about." As far as the context of the whole StarWars saga goes,I believe that this chapter will fit like a glove. ThePhantom Menace, Episode I, was merely an introduction of sorts andshouldn't be used in prejudging any of the other two prequelinstallments. As far as the title goes, "Attack of theClones", it should be viewed as a chapter heading in the saga.It's liken to the Lord of the Rings trilogy; one of the movies iscalled, "The Twin Towers". If that were the only movie inthe series, it might be seen as a lame title, but it's not. It'smerely a chapter heading and "
Attack of the Clones"should be seen in the same light. Whether you like the Phantom Menaceor not, Attack of the Clones, I believe will fit in a lot better withthe mythological tones of the original Star Wars trilogy. Look forthe teaser in your local theater this November! I can't wait!!!

Summary: Enough is Enough!
Review: Seriously, I'm only giving this movies 3 stars because I don't think it will be that great. Episode I was dissapointing enough because of it's lack of plot and originality. Sure, George Lucas is a top-notch director, but wasn't Episodes IV, V and VI enough. They were better than great, they were superbly excellent, but that's enough. Episode I has taken long enough to come out on DVD, so Episode II will probably come out on DVD when Episode III comes out. I will go see "Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones" because it is Star Wars and I love the whole Clone Wars plot which was already previously mentioned in other Star Wars films. I hope George Lucas will work very hard on this because I'm going to see it opening day on May 22nd, 2002. Hopefully, it won't be as dissapointing as the first was because it does feature Ewan MacGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi, "Eye Of The Beholder", "Moulin Rouge"), Natalie Portman (Queen Amidala, "Where The Heart Is", "Anywhere But Here"), Samuel L. Jackson (Mace Windu, "Pulp Fiction, "Die Hard 3", "Unbreakable", "Eves' Bayou") and newcomer Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker. I greatly anticpate seeing Samuel L. Jackson with a lightsaber so I'll have my cash for the release of this prequel!

Summary: Star Wars - Generation Lost
Review: Quite simply, the new movies are not nearly as good as the originals - in quality (see Episode I - Phantom Menace) and especially in Titles. The basis of the Star Wars Galaxy is rooted in Epic tradition and Mythology. Episode I not only lacked all of the characteristics of being EPIC, but it also was not designed for the intelligent audience. Mysticism, creative thinking and interpretation were lost on todays audience, as the plot, story and characters were trivial and immature at best - as well as obvious and driven to a point. While Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill we able to act as young adults, our new cast are "children" by comparison. Maybe less technology and graphics and an actual story would bring back the quality.

For those who think that my review is based on "I hate SW" you ar mistaken. I grew up on it, wrote my college thesis on it, have read every book and played every video game. I stand by my assessment

Summary: "Attack of the Clones"....Did I read that right?
Review: Okay, I've got to admit, the title caught me off guard at first - sounded like a total scam (like the Episode II trailer I ended up with). Then I thought about it some more and the more I thought about it, I realized the title is going for that 1930's serial movies feeling... sorta Buck Rogers-ish. Anyways, obviously it will have to do with the Clone Wars that were listed in the Star Wars backstory/history... Regardless, I know I will see it when it comes out, but I can't say I'm enough of a hardcore fan to go stand in line for the opening weekend. Will there be more Jar-Jar? One wonders...

Summary: Attack of the Clones
Review: Yes that is the title of the episode 2. Attack of the Clones, I thinkthey could of done a lot better on the title but they may changeit. Just like they changed the third movie of the origanal trioligyThe Jedi's Revenge to Return of the Jedi. To me it sounds like Send inthe Clones-A xena episode lol. But i have seen the trailor and it looks very good. Especially when a girl (dont' want to ruinanything) has a lightsaber and an army of jedi's run up a hill allwith their lightsabers on.

Summary: It's Going To Be Even Better Than Episode 1!
Review: "Star Wars Episode II" will be even better than "The Phantom Menace." The storyline will be much darker than "TPM" and will be similar to "The Empire Strikes Back." Jar Jar has a very brief role- Yay! I don't even have to recommend this movie, since everyone is going to see it anyway. I know the story line for "Episode 2" and "Episode 3" but I dare not say it here.

Summary: Attack of the Clowns would have been better
Review: Only better than the Episode I beccuase you couldn't dig lower. I was quite disappointed but mainly uninterested. I don't hate the movie. I just don't care enough about it to feel anything about it.
I was hoping for a more-developed anakin character or any character for that matter.
The ending battle scene was long, drawn-out and flat. A whole lot of lazer beams, light sabers, robots, clones, Jedi, space ships and I just didn't care because it was filmed so poorly that it failed to keep me interested. Also very few good guys could be seen getting hurt so there wasn't a feeling of suspense or sympathy.
In contrast is the similar battle scene layout of Two Towers. Both movies have epic battle scenes at the end. They start with a small number of doomed heroes who get temporarily saved by outnumbered allies: the elves in T.T. and the Jedis in Clones. Also the moment of the ride down the rampart is similar to the Jedis arrival as its a momentarily victory but one that is doomed because the enemy is still strong. Then comes the Cavlary in the form of clones in Clones and Gandalf with 3,000 riders in Towers. The enemy is finally defeated and the battle ends.
With Towers I actually felt something for the story and characters because of the filming, scripting, and character development that went in to it. The ride of Gandalf and the riders down the hillside into the Uruks as the sun came up behind them was stirring. I don't even remember Yoda's arrival.
I think there is a valuable lesson for filmmakers to learn on how to do huge battle scenes and how not to do them by watching the end of these two films.
