Rating: Summary: Another GREAT Star Wars film! Review: The effects and sound were state-of-the-art & bone-chilling! The actors did a wonderful job, especially Hayden Christensen, who portrayed a young Darth Vader as well as could be done! The introduction of The Clone Wars, and hints of the Empire-to-come leave you craving for the conclusive Episode III, the final film which will bridge the gap between the prequal and the classic trilogy. Episode II surely redeemed the saga since Episode I and I can't wait for episode III!!!
Rating: Summary: Let's get to the point... Review: Good grief, some of these reviews are longer than the movie...1. Cheesy romantic storyline. Darth Vader running through a meadow? Yeah, right. 2. Less Jar Jar = More Enjoyment. 3. More Yoda = More Enjoyment. 4. Great action scenes! Lots of falling and fighting. Everyone's seen this movie already. It's good, not great, but we wouldn't miss it.
Rating: Summary: So many movie directors with blasting reviews Review: If you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor, GO IN WITH NO EXPECTATIONS! This is not a film to be critiqued or to be taken apart bit by bit for analysis. I have heard critics of the best three films from the last year say the same things, but only because they said, "I was expecting this,..." or "I was disappointed because it wasn't the way I was expecting....". Lord of the Rings, Spiderman, and Episode II were great films which were extremely entertaining, just as long as you didn't think that Lucas, etc, owed you something with the movie. One thing to say, if they weren't great movies, no one would watch them as much as they did. You wanna see a movie with no plot and overdone special effects, go see Resident Evil. Only movie I have ever walked out on.......it was so bad I stayed and saw Ice Age instead.......
Rating: Summary: More yoda Review: This movie was great I just wish the yoda fight scene was longer and it was refreshing see the jedi master mix it up I just hope we get learn more about yoda and see more of his skills in the next installment and learn more about the old and new jedi's because there isn't alot knowledge about them.
Rating: Summary: A great flick! Review: I've already seen it quite a few times and everyone loves it. I always loved Star Wars so my best friend and I personally favored Episode I but this is great too. It's faster and the special effects are better. Former Queen Amidala is now a matured better-looking queen. The cast of Episode I had better acting performances from everybody but the comedy and the enormous obliteration scenes make this motion picture great too. A lot of my other friends in no way ever liked Star Wars. For once (I was shocked) they loved a Star Wars flick. They are now fanatical and are also Star Wars' freaks. But Episode I gets the top Star Wars title having a better story, better acting performances, as well as better cinematography. Episode II is more a love-story and less a clone war. But then to continue the saga I guess Lucas had to add all these bits and pieces of romance in the movie. The action in this version was nevertheless faster than that of Episode 1's. I think the Yoda fight sequence was one of the coolest and funniest parts in the movie. Though the movie sort of stretched out in the middle, it didn't take it a long time to get back on track. Natalie Portman has a better role in this movie. Just like in Episode I, Ewan and Samuel as well as most of the cast made the movie one that will be successful due to the great group effort. Exceedingly pleasurable and faster than the eye can follow, this movie is one you should see. If you were always a Star Wars fan, an action/adventure film nut, like light humor, or silly shy romance, this is a movie you should see. Quite a few scenes that you shouldn't miss include the Yoda fight scene, Natalie Portman in action, and the city chase amongst quite a few others. The motion picture is certainly a must-see for "Star Wars" fans. The movie optimistically will repeat the work its predecessors have accomplished.

Rating: Summary: CLONES OR CLOWNS Review: Shame on you George Lucas. We STAR WARS fans waited for so long for this prequel, and what you delivered is sad, sad, sad. The weakest link is the writing. You got lucky with us 30 years ago, and the special effects of the classic Star Wars features, and the concept blinded us to their sophmoric writing. But at present, the special effects no longer knock us flat. And poor writing plus bad acting leaves us cold. Hayden Christensen is not an actor. If he is the best candidate after a world-wide search, somebody was blind and lazy. He is handsome, hollow, and his inexperience blanches every frame he inhabits. Natalie Portman struggled with her poorly written dialogue, and nearly pulled it off. Ewan McGregor is credible as Obi-Wan. The old war horse, Christopher Lee, comes off best, through sheer talent, style and grace. [ just as he held up the Trojan Horse film LORD OF THE RINGS ]. Poor Samuel L. Jackson came off even worse than he did in SW Part I. Kenny Baker & Anthony Daniels represent one of the only slender threads that drew us back to your former magnificence. Jar Jar Binks, as a character, needs to be scrapped. So, next time, George, swallow your trillionaire's pride, and hire a writer.
Rating: Summary: Exellent! Review: I loved it! I took away a star for the (bad) lines they gave Anakin! But I loved the story! All pieces start falling in to place and we see why and how Anakin was basically tricked to go to the dark side!
Rating: Summary: Acting and character chemistry could have been better IMO Review: As a big fan of the Star Wars films, I awaited Episode 2 with great anticipation. I have seen the film several times. Overall, I enjoyed it a great deal. THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE I REALLY LIKE: I found the story itself to be quite good, and also quite a bit more sophisticated than any of the other Star Wars films. The "detective" aspect of the plot I found fresh and very well done. Overall, I think it worked. Lots of Yoda. I just love Yoda, and was glad to see him play a more active role in the whole story than he did in the other films. The light saber battles and used in the film were very well done for the most part. And while some of my friends found Yoda's light saber fight a bit overdone, I thought it was very well done, but more importantly it helped paint a clearer picture of Yoda's superior Jedi abilities - which were not completely clear up to this point. Visually, this film is magnificant. The vast open spaces and large landscapes were extremely well done considering many of them were 100% computer generated or combinations of computer generationed and actual sets. I found the far away shots on Tattooine (sp?) of Anakin riding his speeder at dusk to look exeptionally good and realistic. The music for this film may be the best out of all the films so far. John Williams is amazing. The guy comes up with a one great and unique score after another. That stiring and powerful string melody used toward the end of the film before the credits begin is breath taking to site just one example. THINGS ABOUT THE MOVIE I DON'T LIKE: The acting and chemistry between Portman and Christensen. I just didn't find either of them completely convincing. Overall, their acting and chemistry lacked fluidity and naturalness. I blame this more on the director than the actors, but I don't feel that Lucas got out of them what they were capable of delivering. There wasn't enough screen time dedicated to the romance, and it seemed rushed and almost hard to believe it could happen as fast as it did. This, combined with often very unnatural and corny dialog, resulted in a very mediocre romance at best. I found some of the action sequences to be a bit outrageous and unecessary. For instance, toward the beginning of the movie when Anakan jumps out of the speeder, falls some thousands of feet, and then precisely times and catches the other speeder being chased - was, to me, just ridiculous completely unecessary. I think a a more traditional chase with the speeders side to side with Anakan merely jumping onto the other speeder would have been more convicincing and made for a better action sequence to site one example. Overall, this film was a blast. One of the best Star Wars films.
Rating: Summary: Star Wars - Episode II: Attack of the Best!!! Review: Anyone who thinks this film can't measure up to the first trilogy is out of their minds. Attack of the Clones is as good (if not better) than "The Empire Strikes Back". Some people may think some of the scenes are boring. Maybe, it's because they're action fanatics who could care less about the story unfolding. That's the reason why some scenes seem to slow down, but to someone who knows the Star Wars saga, it all comes together perfect. Yoda is absolutely amazing! One of the purposes of this film was to reveal the reason why Yoda is the master of all Jedi. Now I know! He kicks ...! Anakin's skills with the force are quite special, and Ewan McGregor should be nominated for an oscar for his role as Obi Wan. Natalie is just simply beautiful. This movie was filmed in 100% digital. If you haven't viewed it on a digital screen, the DVD will show you exactly how it how it should be seen. The backgrounds will seem more realistic. The images are more crisp, clear and focused. Also, the musical score is simply outstanding. If you're the type that goes for the under dog over the champ, bring home Spidey instead of Attack of the Clones. I won't!
