Summary: Great DVD! Lots of extras!
Review: This DVD has tons of extras and is a great movie. This DVD has deleted scenes and some great bloopers. To get the bloopers go to the options menu on disc 1, type in greater the 10, 11, then 3, then 8. You gotta get this DVD.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: George Lucas,give us something better in storyline!
Review: A.I. the movie would've been a better storyline for 'Episode I',and Anakin Skywalker should've been the innovator and creator of the 'Jedi Class',instead of a follower. The fight scenes between Count Dooku and Anakin Skywalker with double light saber should've been stretched to 5 minutes longer. The camino should've been game and model builders who reconstructed armies from the past,in plain english,'Gamers'. George Lucas,lacks imagination with these two last episodes,don't disappoint us again,which you probably will.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "I'll get to the bottom of this plot quickly, Milady..."
Review: For those of you who hated or were disappointed with The Phantom Menace, there's a chance that you might like this one better, but maybe not. As for me, Attack of the Clones is a visual masterpiece. It also details events mentioned in A New Hope that fans may have always wondered about. The acting and dialogue is a little better than The Phantom Menace, it's a little more OTT and not as wooden, which helps, but at the same time is played almost dead straight. Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker, gets either mixed reviews or "thumbs down", though, we're really not meant to like him. The "plot", some would say very little, moves along reasonable well, as does much of the action.
Attack of the Clones isn't a classic, but for pure escapist sci-fi, it hits all marks. if you've forgotten that Star Wars is for the young at heart, than this movie certainly is not the one for you.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Puh-lease!
Review: My friends and I are extremely disapointed with Lucas. This "movie/music video/arcade game" simply does not cut it anymore. People now incorporate CGI into great movies, NOT the reverse. AOTC made less at the box office than Phantom, and we predict the next installment will have even less draw as NO ONE is interested anymore.

Summary: Glad I borrowed from library and didn't waste money
Review: Like the Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones was more about computer animation as opposed to a good storyline. I have seen better acting and writing for those cheesy Saturday morning shows. Plus, can someone explain to me why in the first two movies everything (ships, planets, landscapes, outfits, etc..) looks so crisp and clean, yet in IV, V, and VI things look much more real and gritty. I guess in Lucas time technology runs in reverse for the characters and their surroundings. I gave Attack of the Clones two stars instead of one because of the attempt to explain items for future events (albeit, a very poor job of doing it). To say this movie and the first one were huge disappointments, would be a huge understatement.

Summary: I dedicate this review to Jonathon Taylor
Review: Hey, Jonathon, I just want you to know this this movie was terrible.

But you know what's worse? Your spelling. Get a dictionary, kid.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: So so movie
Review: This movie was pretty good, and on my scale I rated it a 3. What's good: the actor that plays Anakin is pretty good about portraying a young Jedi apprentice who is struggling with becoming an accomplished Jedi and his love for Padme. Another good thing- Yoda's battle at the end is the show stealing highlight.
What's okay: now that Padme is a senator, does that mean she can wear all of those suggestive clothes? There is too much flirtation between Anakin and Padme.
Over all, this is a good action movie and full of special effects and has a lot more Jedi in it.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not Sci-Fi, just kiddie fantasy
Review: Attack of the Clones, (like the other Star Wars movies) should not be compared to any kind of Sci-Fi, whether "hard" Sci-Fi like Kubrick's 2001, or even the plot driven softer style Sci-Fi of the original Star Trek or Outer Limits series. It is not even very good fantasy (e.g. Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings); it is, however, very good Saturday Morning kiddie style fantasy. Adults should definitely stay away. Ideal audience is 8 - 12 years old.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: The worst Star Wars film ever
Review: I know I'm gonna be hated after this review but I found AOTC to be very boring.Even though the action scenes were awesome and Yoda's lightsaber duel was spectacular,I found the love story to be dull and boring.I was really looking forward to seeing this movie in the theater when it came out.I've been a Star Wars fan all my life and I was greatly dissapointed in this movie.I hope episode three is better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The saga moves forward with great fun and action
Review: I saw the midnight showing of Attack of the Clones, and perhaps it was because of the electrifying crowd, but it was so insanely satisfying that my mind and body couldn't handle it, and everything I have learned is still, at this moment, trying to make sense out of the incomprehensible bliss I experienced while seeing Episode II. But hey, I'm a huge Star Wars fan.
I love Star Wars so dearly that is wouldn't matter if the movie .... I mean, if it did ... - and it doesn't, I wouldn't even be able to tell. All I see is greatness, and that is proof of the incredibly influential power of Star Wars. Even if critics tear this movie apart, everyone will still go see it. It's critic proof. And, as I have seen, it seems like the majority of people that bash Star Wars do so just for the sake of being different. These people must have trouble feeling the force.
Attack of the Clones takes place ten years after The Phantom Menace, during a time of increasing turmoil. The former Queen of Naboo, Padme Amidala, is now a senator whose life is constantly being threatened. In response, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, have been assigned to protect her. Furthermore, the Jedi are searching with no avail for members of the Sith: Jedi whose power flows from the dark side of the force.
A few more characters that hold important roles are Mace Windu, Jango Fett, and Count Dooku. I have given the most vague outline of Attack of the Clones, and you should be thankful. It is wise (for your own pleasure) to know as little as possible about a movie like this prior to viewing it. However, let me say that the last 45 minutes of this movie are incredibly impressive. I found it literally breathtaking.
The only big problem with the movie is the screenplay. Some of the dialogue is uncomfortably dry. There are also a few scenes with Anakin that just don't feel right, but I'm sure it's because of the screenplay.
Even though Episode II is the worst Star Wars movie yet (and that's not saying anything bad), it's still great fun. It kept me interested enough that I can't wait to see the third and final chapter in the Star Wars series.
