Summary: This movie [is bad]!
Review: This movie is so sappy I want to throw up. It was so dumb when Yoda fought bent lightsaber-boy. I'm sure, his walking around with this stick then his jumping around the place. It [is bad]. Read my lips, DON'T BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!!! If you do you'll be sorry.

Summary: #1 Star Wars Film
Review: I've been going through some of these reviews and I can't believe what some of you are saying. This is a great film, and anyone who doesn't think so is not a true Star Wars fan. This films' got great special effects, amazing action sequences and an interesting storyline. If there wasn't a love story in this episode, where do you think Luke and Leia would come from. It wouldn't make much sense if all of the sudden Padme had babies in the next episode without us knowing how she and Anakin fell in love, that would be stupid.
Okay, maybe some of the dialogue is a little corny in some parts, but who really cares, if you come to see a Star Wars movies for its great dialogue then you are missing the point. If you are you still complaining about Jar Jar, give it a break, he's only in this movie for like 5 minutes.
I loved this movie from beginning to end, from the sky chase on Coruscant to the beginning of the Clone War. It was great seeing Lars Homestead again and Artoo and Threepio going on their first adventure together. Seeing all of those hundreds of Jedi fighting in the arena was amazing. I really liked The Phantom Menace, but I have to say this one is better. For those of you who don't like the new Star Wars movies, I can guarantee you will 20 years from now, probably even more than the original. You should really charish these movies, because they are classics and you will realize it in years from now.
I got Episode I on DVD, and I don't regret it at all, it is the greatest DVD I have ever seen, and Episode II will be just as great. This movie is going to look amazing since it was shot on digital and transfered digitally to DVD, it's going to look incredible. I am definately going to be first in line to buy this DVD on the morning of November 12th, and I recommend everyone else do the same.

Summary: George Lucas's Return to Glory!
Review: After the somewhat disappointing "Phantom Menace", George Lucas satisfies the intergalactic craving in all of us, with this triumphant chapter of the "Star Wars" saga.

Ten years have passed since we last saw Anakin Skywalker. Anakin longs to be freed from the over-possessive Jedi grasps. Anakin's love for Padmé Amidala is growing, and with the Jedi reluctant to let the romance blossom, Anakin's frustration boils. Yoda, and other members of the Jedi Council sense Anakin's frustration, and this worries them.

A faction of political separatists, led by Count Dooku, attempts to assassinate Padmé Amidala (now Senator). Since there aren't enough Jedi to defend the Republic against the threat, Chancellor Palpatine enlists the aid of Jango Fett, who promises that his army of clones will handle the situation.

Obi-Wan is sent to the planet of Kamino where he will investigate. While Obi-Wan investigates, he discovers that there is more than meets the eye behind an assassination attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala's life. Little does he know, he is investigating some of the biggest events of the Star Wars saga, as he finds out that there is a connection between the assassination attempts and a separatists movement led by a former Jedi (Christopher Lee) against the Republic. The Galactic Republic finds itself at the brink of a civil war.

As Anakin is left behind to protect Padmé, his feelings for her grow into something more than friendship. From Naboo to Tatooine, it grows into love for her. But when a tragedy strikes Anakin's life, he begins slipping away from the Light Side of the Force, and perhaps from the Force itself.

"Attach of the Clones" contains the stunning action sequences, and breath-taking special effects that we have grown to love from the "Star Wars" movies.

The end result?

We are left with a fantastic voyage to a galaxy far, far away.

Summary: One Of the Best Star Wars Movies EVER!!!!
Review: This movie is everything that 'star wars' fans have been waiting for! The movie starts out on couracunt. its a bit slw at first, but then it starts to pick up. as obi-wan trys to find out about a simple assasination plot, he soon stumbles on to a conspiracy to destroy the republic from within and planned by no other than DARTH SIDIOUS!!!
With out revealing any spoilers, this movies reveals things you probaly would have never thought of. there is to much action to describe in this breif review but belive me, your jaw will drop when you watch the first battle of the clone wars, or when Yoda draws his lightsaber about to attack Datrth Tyranus, the second most powerful sith lord ever!!!!
all of the actors do a prtetty good job in character. the special effects of this movie are amaing. Yoda is entirly digital, no more puppet!!! he looks so real and yet.... Lucas does a better job than i could have imagined!!!!!!
dont forget to buy the soundtrack, the very back bone of star wars is the music, after episode 1, i thought that there was nothing that john willams could have done that would be original and unique, but i was shocked when i bought the sound track. Over all, i hope that you buy this movie and if you like love storys, action, mystery, and war in a scifi style, this is a movie for you.

Summary: This is Star wars? ....
Review: I'm a fan of Star Wars, like so many others I had to see the film with in the first week of opening. I can say one thing. I Enjoyed to movie, yet it lacked soooo much in plot. I figure that Lucas has several things he has to include in the last of the prequals to even remotely tie them to the orginals.
1.the birth of luke and Leia
2.what happens to padmie
3.the falling out with Obie-one
4.the seperation of luke and Leia
5.the turning of Anakin
and I'd like to see the orgins of Han Solo. Granted it's been some months since I seen the film and I know I had one more thing that was a " like to see in the third film" but I can't recall it right now. None the less I'm going to see the third film before I make a call on one triogly verse the other. I still thought this movie moved too slow for my taste. Hell, it was alot weaker than PHM outside of finally seeing Yoda with a light saber.
I give this movie a three cause it was fair, but Not was I was expecting out of a Star Wars film.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Great Special Effects, but George Can't Direct....
Review: This is a technically great movie, and it is KNOWN that the actors can act, but Lucas is sadly lacking in his Directoral abilities. Poor Pacing, Flat Acting, and built up expectations really make you wish this was a much better movie than it turned out to be.

Where are the memorable Lines? All three of the first Star Wars movies had great one liners, LOTS of them. You'd be hard pressed to get more than a handful of good ones from Menace and Clones.

George was out of the driver's seat for too long and it shows. Maybe he should have warmed up with something else before he tried to continue his epic.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Far Superior To Episode 1
Review: To start off, let me say that I liked Episode 1, just not as much as any movie from the first trilogy. However, Attack of the Clones is equal to 4, 5, and 6. It is a thrill-a-minute adventure with two seperate stories (like Empire Strikes Back)that eventually come together. And, for the first time, we see the Jedi doing what they've only been described to do, or in small 1-on-1 or 2-on-1 fights: a giant Jedi battle full of glowing lightsabers! And, we finally find out how Yoda got his status as the greatest Jedi ever. I still remember the first time I saw this, some kid yelled out "Kick his [butt], Yoda", right before he drew his lightsaber. Obi-Wan's detective story is very cool, and the planet Kamino is amazingly beautiful in a strange sort of way. Anakin and Padmé's love story is a little flawed, but that's okay. And, as usual, we have R2-D2 and C-3PO doing what they do best: acting silly. Finally, there are many references to "A New Hope", "Empire Strikes Back", and "Return of the Jedi", which give us explanations as to why some things are the way the are. If you like Star Wars, you owe it to yourself to see this movie. Even if you don't, you may still be intrigued.

Summary: The dreams of my childhood fulfilled
Review: Hello everyone, can I start out by saying WAKE UP! Episode II was given an unfair amount of criticism from the very begining (thanks to all the internet spoilers). How in the world can Episode II's detractors possibly enjoy a movie when it has been preceeded by three of the greatest science-fiction films ever made? Anyway, my impression of Episode II is this: I was very happy and close to tears to have finally witnessed the clone wars that was hinted at in the introduction of the 1st novel STAR WARS (i.e. "Journal of the whills"). Also, how can anyone NOT be effected by seeing the 800 yr. old Jedi Master kick some Count Dooku [rear-end]? I feel the reviewers who gave it less than four stars, simply expect too much. Mr. Lucas is the visionary who gave the film industry the blue-prints of "the Block-buster". It is hypocritical of the fans to "bash" his latest installments, saying it's not "as good" as such and such film... if it were not for George Lucas, chances are great that such and such film might never have been! Oh by the way, in response to the reviewer from Whitefish, MT... Owen and Beru are NOT Luke Skywalker's foster parents... He is their step-nephew. In closing, I was more than satisfied by Episode II. Thank you, have a nice day.

Summary: Star Wars is Star Wars is Star Wars
Review: In case you were wondering, by 'Star Wars' standards, this movie wasn't that great. No, it's not as good as the original trilogy (which by the way is slated for release on DVD after epIII comes out), but YES it is better than ep1. Ep1 was simply too childish for me, Jar Jar Binks?? Jar Jar wasn't that bad for me, it was just ANAKIN. "Yippee, Whoo-hoo!" = GAG. I must say however, that if you HATED Jar Jar, you'll just find more reason to hate him in this movie, for he does something so incredibly stupid you'll realize he was actually an important piece of the plot. Hayden Christensen gave a much better performance in 'Life as a House", here he just seems wooden, although he does have his acting moments. Obi-Wan is more fatherly and Padme Amidala mysteriously hasn't aged a day. (10 years have passed since ep1). I read on the 'net that this was one of the best digital transfers to DVD yet seen, so i look forward to it. The 'love' scenes in this movie were heart-stoppingly horrendous (I am haunted by the kiss you should not have given me???? My god I could write a better script) But once Lucas drives the movie to the point where he's best at (Action, Action and more Action) this movie runs wild. The greatest scenes in the movie mysteriously all involve Jango Fett. From the first battle between him and Obi-Wan to (the best scene in the movie, and will KILL most subwoofers) the chase through the asteroid field. And for those people who though that Yoda was just a mentor, think again. He knows his stuff. I will buy this DVD, maybe not before i buy Spider-Man and DEFINETLY not before i buy The Lord Of The Rings Extended DVD Edition, but it will eventually land in my collection, for it is Star Wars, and for no other reason.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: What a stinker. No chemistry between the stars.
Review: ...
AND PLEASE...Someone tell me what is the purpose for SAMUEL L. JACKSON?? All he does is walk around "looking concerned", but I can't quite figure out WHO or WHAT he adds to these films. The original trilogy with outdated special effects are classic. These modern day versions with great sfx will easily be forgotten. Yoda is the only good part.
