Summary: Another winner by George Lucas
Review: How can any true fan of Star Wars not like this movie? No, it is not as good as the original three. But then, no matter how incredible the movie is, nothing will ever compare to the originals. Twenty years of anticipation makes it near impossible for anything to be as good as we want it to be. I think it is definitely better then Phantom Menace though.

The acting is trite and the dialogue stilted in some scenes. (I was not impressed with the choice of actors for Anakin though I love Natalie Portman as Amidala.) But then again, George Lucas is known for his incredible effects, not written dialogue. The effects of course are phenomenal, as is to be expected. There are some fabulous fight scenes, especially the one with Yoda. He rocks! I've been dying for a Yoda fight scene since I first discovered him in the original trilogy and Lucas comes through for his fans.

I wouldn't buy this movie in the hopes of some scene-stealing performances for Anakin, (See, that shows how impressed I was with him, I can't even remember the actor's name!) but I was satisfied with the other characters. And I can't imagine a better person to play the younger Obi Wan then Ewan MacGregor.

But if you want some incredible action and effects, this is the movie to buy.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Too painful to watch
Review: Poor acting, poor story, and generally a boring story. I had high hopes for this edition but, like the first of the new trilogy, Attack of the Clones was painfully dismal.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This lives up to all the others
Review: This text refers to the DVD:
To any StarWars fan, this is a must have.
Most of the extras of the DVD can be viewed at their offical website, but it was still cool. The deleated sceanes were awsome, and the audio commentary is always fun to listen to.

The only "complaints"(i truly have none) i have about this movie is that they change scenes a lot, whereas the old movies used to be mostly half on one planet, and half on another. This was required though, in order to progress the movie along in a logical order. Also, it seems that this movie reflected a more modern fasion style at the height of the republic, before the times of the emperor.

George added three things that were different then other StarWars movies.
1) The movie revolves around a love story, whereas the other movies contained short scenes.
2) They included a big jedi battle scene, which was cool to see them all fighting together.
And
3) This movie was the first i have seen to actually contain a little humor (Yoda!).

The detail they put into the CG yoda, was incredible. On the second DVD, they have extras about creating the "visual" effects(Computer Graphics), and they show the time and detail they put into this movie.

The music is always to die for, and depicts this movie as a true epic. Just as in all the other StarWars movies and Harry Potter movies, John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra where great.

As a starwars fan and fanatic, this just made my life that much more complete.

~hope this helps

Summary: Egads! Attack of the senses!
Review: My god what a awful movie! Save your money and buy something useful. Or if you're adamant on seeing this movie take the money you've saved and buy yourself a labotomy which consequently will be better than the movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Amazing
Review: I am tired of people whining about this film not being like the "original" Star Wars movies. I grew up with the Star Wars trilogy and was excited that Lucas was going to let us in on another one of his stories. This movie is beautiful: the music, the special effects, the storyline, everything. AOTC by far exceeded my expectations and I cannot wait for Episode III. Oh, Natalie Portman is gorgeous.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hail King George! (Lucas)
Review: George Lucas takes us full throttle into the sequel to the mediocre "Phantom Menace" with a dazzling array of SFX...including the Yoda vs. Count Dooku light saber duel...It is TOTALLY awesome! The whole thing will leave you on the edge of your seat. Padme' (Natilie Portman) shows us some of her hot body...er...wardrobe...what's next? The gold bikini? I sure hope so. Anyway, the story revolves about a mysterious order of Clone Troopers, an evil Jedi and a demented bounty hunter named Jango Fett. Watch the Jedis take on the Geonosian army in one of the greatest light saber duels in Star Wars history. (Next to Yoda's) Great stuff!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not Bad At All

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: DADADDDDDA DDDDAA
Review: Well very intresting story and I do like it . Beautifull scenery and the special effects are good . You understand why someone will become Darth Vader . Cannot wait for the next one .

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: 5 stars for the DVD, 4 stars for the movie...
Review: Amazing special effects, forget Lord of the Rings. If you are a Star Wars fan, you already watched. If you're planning to rent it, it is the best DVD of the year you can buy. I love the story, but George Lucas could pay more attention how the actors act in some parts, for this it could be better...but I supposed I would have to wait for the grand finale! This one on top of Episode I, so Episode III should be on top of this one: a Five Stars!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sick of the Old Timers
Review: Many of the bad reviews written about this film have come from die-hard fans of the original three Star Wars movies. I loved the original three myself; however, I think that Episodes 1 and 2 have been great as well. I think the old timers (people who were alive when the original three were released in theaters) need to open their minds to a new generation of Star Wars films. The acting may have had some faults in it, but I would blame the writer for that. If you look at other films that Portman,Christiansen and McGregor have been in, you will see that they are great actors. I thought the whole story line was great. I loved being able to step back in time and see why certain things happened and also it has been interesting to see Anakin's journey to the darkside. So if your an old timer, take a step back and try to appreciate a little change in the Star Wars Saga. Becasue there is more to come.
