Summary: CLONES looks promising
Review: One month before its theatrical release, ATTACK OF THE CLONES is beginning its assault on the public. And after the release of four different trailers, it looks to be a vast improvement over its predecessor. THE PHANTOM MENACE split its audience. There were those who hated the film and voiced their disapproval. Then there were those who wanted to like the film so much, they became apologists for the film, explaining how this was just set-up for the better films to come. Of course, both of those were the extremes; most people found some of the film entertaining and some of it a bit in cohesive. ATTACK OF THE CLONES looks to have a much stronger focus. The story and growth now appear to belong to Anakin, which was not clear in TPM.

Of course, this is all speculation, but it looks to be a more Romantic film then its predecessor with courting, rescues and a small army of Jedi Knights in battle with their lightsabers firmly in hand. And with Jar-Jar Binks taking a back seat in the film, one of the films potential detractions is decreased. The effects look phenomenal and ILM surely has a grasp on the look of the new trilogy.

ATTACK OF THE CLONES looks to be a roller coaster ride of space flight, laser battles and a James Dean-esque hero, where can we go wrong? Of course, we could've said that 3 years ago as well...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Have a little faith in Lucas, y'all!
Review: Honestly people, "The Phantom Menace" was not as bad as it seemed. Yes, there was a lot of hype going around about it, but that's no reason to dislike it. But now we are onto the next chapter, "Attack of the Clones", and I can assure people that this will be a surprisingly exciting chapter in the "Star Wars" saga. You should not pay attention to the negative reviews here, after all, they have not seen it (and don't believe it if they claim they have), because nobody really has seen the finished project...I don't even think the actors have seen it! I am just basing this review on facts and rumors that I've heard and read about it. So this is not a honest review, I will have a more honest review once I've seen it on May 16th. Remember, these are just my own predictions and opinions, so don't take them all too seriously. And as a matter of fact, I've been able to read the real script on a certain "Star Wars" fan site that I found on the Web, so I've got a pretty good idea on what it will be about...but I'll try not to totally ruin it for you.

"Attack of the Clones" will take place ten years after "The Phantom Menace" did. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is now a teenager and is Obi-Wan's (Ewan McGregor) Jedi apprentace. The Force is strong on Anakin. The Clone Wars are about to break out. Anakin and Sentor Amidala (Natalie Portman) are falling in love...but it is a forbidden love, which will lead to tragedy, in the third episode. Many surprisingly events will occur in this chapter, and there will be several major lightsaber battles fought during this film...not just one major one at the end, like in "The Phantom Menace". And in "Attack of the Clones", you will begin to understand why Darth Vader cuts off Luke Skywalker's hand in "Empire Strikes Back". You will also begin to see clues on why Anakin falls over to the Dark Side of the Force. Actually, you could begin to see clues in episode one, but they were hardly noticeable. There's also a new villian...who's much more powerful and stronger than Darth Maul was.

"Attack of the Clones" is supposed to be much better than "The Phantom Menace", and I truly believe this. Yes, I am a "Star Wars" fan, but I'm not obsessed over the movies, buying all of the fan merchandise; I simply love the films and think they are brilliant and I think "Star Wars" is a masterpiece--such an amazing concept and quality entertainment. The acting by the entire cast in "Attack of the Clones" is said to be phenomenal--everybody has been raving about Hayden Christensen's performance...even some of his costars and George Lucas, for God's sake! The visual and sound effects are supposed to be absolutely stunning, magic all on its own. Even the dialouge and plot have gotten better, more complex. I cannot wait for "Attack of the Clones" and I'm encouraging everyone to go and see it--even you anti-Star Wars, you may be pleasently surprised! It's not what you think, and it's definitely not just a child's movie, because "Attack of the Clones" is supposed to be very dark. It has romance, action, adventure, fantasy, drama, and cool special effects--what more could you want?

Definitely the movie of the summer!...Beats the "Spider-Man" movie all the way! (Though I'd like to see "Spidey" on the big screen, too!:)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Gonna have to be good to make up for the last one
Review: The Phantom Menace seemed more to me like they were having too much fun with special effects and were lost in what to do with the story-line. I can only hope Geroge Lucas can bring back the life to this saga and not drop it down the [drain] like he almost did before. This one appears to be more like a love story, but it may get dark/grim enough for my liking. Of coarse the twist in the end is obvious, unlike Darth Vader being Luke's father in the 5th.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is gonna be the best Star Wars yet.
Review: Even though most of my friends disagree with me, I though Empire was the best Star Wars flick. I liked the storyline, the action, and the final battle between Vader and Luke. I thought all the characters came off a bit more human in this one. Also, there's no silly Barney-ish scenes, which seemed to be every where in all the others (Episode 1-Jar Jar, Episode 4-Jawa's, Episode 6-Ewoks). Now Episode II looks to do the same thing, to make the characters seem real, like they actually exist. I felt that in some of the films the characters felt like cardboard stand ups with a voice box. Still, I love this series to death, and I think Lucas may have succeeded with this flick beyond my wildest dreams. This will be the movie to see this summer.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This will likely be the best of the Prequals.
Review: Episode 1 was okay but had a little too much Jar, Jar, BInks. Episode III; Anakin becomes Darth Vader. No mystery there. Episode II; Attack Of The Clones.Perhaps the only Star Wars film that will be like the classic Trilogy where we will be surpried by what we see on film. End of story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A long time ago in a galaxy far far away......garryhixonjedi
Review: STAR WARS episode II, Attack of the Clones! In this episode, we begin where we last left off, watching the tyrranical ascent of Annikan Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kanobie, and of course Yoda. The special effects are dazzling, and there's a small storyline of unrequited romance. As their battle to connect world peace, the creatures are thwarted once again alongside the newly found rebel alliance, as their ships and their anatomical limbs are again explosively attacked upon. The force is growing in strength, as the John Williams score erupts in theaters worldwide. More of a teen theme will preside this picture, as they see the horizon of their adulthood growth, and evolution into a stronger rebel alliance.Hold onto your seats, as Annikan finally proves himself an actor, and someday a Jedi in Attack of the Clones! This will be full of surprises, as futuristic technology outdoes the romantic Hollywood storyline, and even another fleet of r2-units, could not reveal the Lucas supersecret

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Attack of the Clones
Review: This movie has the potential to be the greatest movie in the Star Wars saga. In my opinion, Empire Strikes back was the best movie in the New Hope trilogy, so if this is any indication of what to expect in Attack of the Clones then prepare for a very dark and brilliant movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Star Wars - Best Films ever made...and getting better
Review: May 16th and the wait is over, the sequel to the 1st chapter in the Star Wars Anthology..is nearly here...Attack of the Clones,
The follow up, to the Classic Phantom Menace sees our familiar
heroes thrown together again,10 years after the climatic events
of Phantom,(22 years before Battle of Yavin).Padme Amidala,whos now a senator in the Republic, finds herself the victim of potential death threats from political factions anxious to kill her...enter Jedi Knights (bearded)Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, who are sent on an errand to protect her, but its not that simple for Anakin, as he starts to deal with his more instense emotions of (forbidden) love, fear and frustration
which will eventually lead to the downfall of Anakin Skywalker.
In the backdrop of this, we have a mego-lo-maniac Palpatine, whos
unethical methods have seen change since seizing power,after Valorums exit.The recruitment of a one Count Dooku or Sith Lord
Darth Tyranus as a likely replacement for Darth Maul looks exceedingly mouthwatering as we once again see Jedis fighting Sith Lords.
With new planets and new characters, and the subtle blend of Star
Wars magic..this promises to fill that dark void between chapters 1 to 4, bringing more clarity and understanding with, why things are the way we see them in A New Hope and concluding.
Watch-out for Anakins blue AND green lightsabers
Watch-out for Maces Purple lightsaber
Watch-out for The chancellors guards..familiar arnt they!!
Watch-out for The New Clone Troopers..very similar to the old stormtrooper, different headgear.
Watch-out for new planets like Geonosis,Green Plains of Alderaan, and the mystical rainy planet!!watch
Watch-out for Jango,Boba fett,Slave 1 and the Mandalorians, they
play a crucial role in the clone wars.
Watch-out for Zam Wessel, this bounty hunter looks good, for
a chic.
Watch-out for 3PO..abit more familiar ay
Watch-out for Anakins temper, taste of things to come..and the final duel that will ensue between him and Obi wan(100%guaranteed)in Episode 3..in which the molten pit plays a crucial
part to the formation of Darth Vader, but not before hes done away with Mace.
Watch in 2005 when (specualting)Rise of the Empire or Dark Tide Chapter 3 goes Bigscreen, now George lucas said himself Chapter 2 is a dark film, but 3 even darker, and quoted that 3 will only
do half as well at the box office..nonsense..us avid fans love
to see the Dark side of Starwars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait, can't WAIT!
Review: Okay, I know hardly anybody (except for those who were actually apart of this project) has actually seen STAR WARS--EPISODE II, ATTACK OF THE CLONES. But from what I've learned about this movie, it is going to rock 2002! I was lucky enough to get my hands on the actual script. Yes, that's right--the ACTUAL SCRIPT, and I have also seen the trailer. And I have to say that I am simply amazed and blown away. There are so many surprises, lightsaber battles, and action that it will just be impossible not to like ATTACK OF THE CLONES. The dialouge has improved a lot from THE PHANTOM MENACE, which a lot of people had said that Episode 1 lacked. This is a darker, much more complex chapter in the STAR WARS saga and there will even be a forbidden romance between Anakin and Sentor Amidala. I think the reason why the trailer didn't seem so interesting is because George Lucas wanted to keep all the fantastic action and battle scenes a secret and surprise for the audience when they actually see the movie. I don't wanna give much of this movie away so all I can say is in this chapter, the audience will begin to learn and see hints on why Anakin turns over to the Dark Side of the Force. There will be a new villian in ATTACK OF THE CLONES--Count Dooku, who is more powerful than Darth Maul, and Anakin and Sentor Amidala will fall in love and get married.

The acting from the entire cast of ATTACK OF THE CLONES has gotten so much praise already, especially Hayden Christensen, Ewan McGregor, and even Natalie Portman. So I can almost be positive enough to say that the acting will not be a problem for ATOTC. And no--N Sync will NOT appear in ATOTC (thank GOD!), because their part got taken out after all the complaining from STAR WARS fans. And yes--Jar Jar Binks WILL have a lesser part in this movie, so he is not the reason to miss out on what will be an incredible movie experience.

From the title of my review, you can obviously tell that I cannot wait for ATTACK OF THE CLONES. I'll be seeing this opening day with my three best friends (in fact--we've already made plans to pre-order our tickets!). May 16th could not come any slower.

~May the Force be with you!
