Summary: THIS MOVIE SUCKED
Review: there are way too many holes
the acting is terrrrrible
there are so many scenes they shouldve jsut taken out because they were just THAT bad, for instance the love scenes were somewhat torture, because it was so acted without any emotion.

Hoenstly i like the Star Wars trilogy, but strectching it to six doesnt seem like such a good idea anymore,

A question I have is, though kinda nerdy
If the clones in SW 2 are suppose to be Jango Fett, shouldnt they all have equal fighting skills? I mean we are talking about one of the top bounty hunters in the 'galaxy' yet in 4,5, and 6 the stormtroopers get killed left and right.
Hoenstly the entire clone thing is flawed, because in the 4th episode there are two stormtroopres talking about new bantha wheels or somethings..... but if they were clones shudnt they just shut their mouths and serve the empire?

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: It's Fine
Review: This movie in my view a good movie. Better plot than the Phatom menace and has got the same action. It sets up a better understading and plot for the next movie and the three original movies. However, the love story between Anakin and Padma was over-rated and too much. I got kinda sick of it, not only that it always showed how much they were suffering especially Anakin. And I never understood how Count Dooko came in play into star wars. Hopefully this review was helpful to you.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Historical Look Back...Thats About It
Review: The acting was bad, the sound effects were lame, and the movie was boring...until the end. I have to say the plot was cool. Emperor Palpitine as he sets up this war to weaken the republic as Darth Sidious and the Supreme Chansler w/ a clone army. The special effects makes the past look futuristic and the future (the original trilogy) look like the past. The only reason I liked it was the fact that it was a flashback of the star wars past.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Movie - average, DVD package - excellent.
Review: If you are a Star Wars fan or like collecting the odd blockbluster movie, than you should buy "Attack of the Clones". Being one of the Star Wars films it is typically a superior product to most other DVD's.

Moviewise, there is plenty of action and excellent special effects for the kids, but not much in character development or sensibility for the adults - an area unfortunately lacking in the prequel trilogy. Nonetheless, it is watchable.

Despite the movie's inadequacies, the "Attack of the Clones" DVD is exceptional - the extras enable this package to be one of the best on the market; everything you would expect for 6 hours worth of extras - creation of the digital Yoda and all areas of production; sound and pre-visualisation and an amazing web-based documentary series. The quality of the images on your TV screen of course are first rate due to the movie being filmed in digital. I don't usually go for the extras in a DVD, but I was spellbound with this package. All up, the package is worth 5 stars, the movie 3 stars.

If you are a fan of the saga then I recommend that you wait for the Episodes 1, 2, 3 DVD package or the 6 movie package when that is eventually released. I believe the deleted scenes would service the films better by being in them (like the extended Lord of the Rings DVD's), therefore, wait for George to produce this product. Hopefully, he will place the theatrical version AND the special extended editions in the one package (like the Alien Quadrilogy).

If you are a fan of blockbusters and high quality DVD packages you should definitely buy this package.

Summary: I have to be honest..
Review: as much of a Star Wars fan as I am, I have lost all faith that the 3rd part of the prequel is going to be anywhere near as good as ANY of the 3 movies in the original trilogy (SW, ESB, ROTJ).

Before seeing this, I heard that Attack of the Clones "was awesome" from some people. I came out of it not feeling satisfied, and thinking that those people who thought that the movie was awesome just WANTED it to be awesome. But it wasn't.

If George Lucas chose his actors based on their abilities to play the part rather than the fact that they are good looking (H. Christiansen & N. Portman you know who you are) maybe the whole movie wouldn't be so flat. If George Lucas would actually create a (...) saber battle like in Empire Strikes Back rather than spending his time creating stupid scenes like C3PO getting a battle droid head put on his body and proceeding to deliver bad one liner after bad one liner, the action wouldn't have been just filler. Lines like "this is such a drag" when 3POs head is being drug across the ground is exactly what I'm talking about. That is this? America's Funniest Home videos? Did Bob Saget right the script for this movie?

The light saber fight between Yoda and Count Dooku was utterly ridiculous. The entire theatre was laughing. Should the Jedi Master be laughed at when he fights?

Otherwise, I think the story is far to complicated and hard to understand for the casual movie goer, and only makes any sense at all if you are a die-hard star wars fan. Even still, some parts of it STILL don't make sense to me after watching these movies several times.

I do like McGregor and Samuel L. Jackson is Mace Windu.

Overall, I can still see where the story is going and I'm curious to see how Darth Vader comes to be in Episode 3, but I get the feeling I'm going to be disappointed.

Summary: Attack of the Groans
Review: As bad as my title is, it is Shakespeare comapred to this dreck. Plently of other reviewers point out how colossally terrible these movies are, but not enough have focused on how terrible an actor Hayden Christiansen is. During the "romantic interludes" I actually felt myself getting squemish. I can't explain why other than it appeared to be the most forced, uninspired acting and dialogue I had ever witnessed. It was not unlike watching a bus load of babies drive off a cliff. Bad beyond comprehension.
Then, H.C.'s acting goes from intestinal revulsion to genuine unintentional hilarity. That scene where he confesses to killing all the sand people and then throws a soda can across the room, or something, who the hell was paying attention by this time? That scene was so funny, so terribly written, driected, acted, and produced I began to feel uncomfortable watching it too.
I bought I and II and haven't watched them for over a year. I probably never will again. When III comes out I won't need to catch up on any story because there is none. The only story is how Lucas managed to get 2 consecutively God-awful actors to play Anakin.
At no time did this incoherent rambling movie approach anything resembling a rational film. Everyone who has seen this collection of moving pictures is now dumber because of it. I award this movie no stars and may God have mercy on Lucas' soul. (adapted from Happy Gilmore)
Oh, and that Yoda Kung-Fu crap...That scene will earn George an extra special place in hell.
Last thing...Natalie Portman is really hot.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: This is great
Review: Attack of the Clones truly is the payoff for all the setup going on in The Phantom Menace! We dig deeper into not only how Anakin turns to the darkside, but also how the Empire and the Emperor in the Old Trilogy came to be! And we've also got a great dark mystery story that builds and builds that leads up to the climactic clone wars that were talked about in A New Hope! And most of all, Yoda fighting!

Like The Phantom Menace, this movie has its faults - although not as many. There were still approaches taken that didn't work for everyone, but I think the approaches taken this time worked for more people. But that always happens with any film, and all of the Star Wars movies have their faults. I'd say this film is consistant with what Star Wars films have always been - B movies with an A budget.

The picture quality is quite impressive, since this movie was filmed digitally and we're watching it on a digital source. It truly is the most crisp film to be transfered to DVD. The sound is incredible on a surround sound system too!

The special features are great. We've got a couple main documentaries, deleted scenes(some of which should've remained in the film IMHO), TV and film trailers, etc. And we have another blooper reel easter egg: Go to the options menu, type in 11[enter], 3[enter], 8[enter], and it'll play. The 1138 is from Lucas' first film "THX 1138", so that's why that particular number was used. And I'm sure there are other hidden features that I can't remember right now too. Overall, the special features are worth watching, and very entertaining.

Great movie, great DVD!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Now this is Star Wars!
Review: Even if you didn't like The Phantom Menace, you'll love this one. If you can handle some old-movie style romance dialogue (maybe a whopping 5 minutes out of 142!) then you're ready to have a great time.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Episode II
Review: Hayden Christensen ... is just too horrible. Pinnacle of bad acting. IMHO, he ruined a perfectly good movie. I just recently watched it again on DVD and I had to write a review. BOOOO!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Underrated
Review: Attack of the Clones is by far the best of the entire saga (endeed each episode is great). Not just special effects but a true and solid plot inside. And the final battle between Joda and Lord Tiranus is awesome...
