Summary: whine some more
Review: this movie is a current masterpiece!!! the old movies were revolutionary in their days because nothing had been like that before. the actors were unknown so they could not be compared to their other works on film. Don't get me wrong, the original films are outstanding in every single way, and it kills me that movies like "In the Bedroom" can win oscars and critics approval, yet the entire star wars franchise has yet to win even any major nominations. Ha. anyways, im going to compare the star wars trilogy/Episode 2 to the wine/grape juice analogy. give someone grape juice and tell them its wine and they smile stupidly and ask the year. just because episode 1 and 2 weren't made in 1979, doesn't mean they suck. And the acting of episode 2:superb. That's right, superb. Just because people relate Ewan McGregor (one of the most gifted actors of our time) to his days in Trainspotting doesn't mean he can't pull off a younger Alec Guiness so perfect that it would be impossible to be any better. And the love scenes: i think they're great and any person who thinks they're badly acted, watch "Titanic",one of the greatest love movies ever made, and compare it to that which is sometimes poorly acted if you're too harsh on it. quit crying and don't critique each star wars movie, but accept them all as one of the greatest sagas evr to be invented. a saga that encompass all raw emotions:love, hate, loyalty, betrayal, and coming to grips on our own destiny.

Summary: Lucas has lost the magic
Review: I saw this film in the theatre. I was really excited to see the next movie but several times throughout the film I felt like tossing my rootbeer at the screen it was so bad. Computer generated characters are so ridiculous. The plot lines in Episode 1 & 2 are horribly connected to the original Star Wars. Darth Vader meets Luke's foster parents in this movie... totally stupid. The love scenes were stale as 6 week old bread. Bad script/ bad acting/ weak plot. Total disapointment.

Summary: A visual feast
Review: Attack of the Clones was everything I expected it to be. A visual feast, creating spectacular worlds to journey through. It is true that the computer generated graphics gives the director much more freedom to create these worlds, but, computers cannot create worlds; only a glorious imagination can. I loved every minute of it; especially Yodas fight with Dooku. Ok, the plot is nothing new, and some of the scenes of Padme and Anakin are a bit soppy; and yes, the clone war gets a bit too war-like; also lacking are the space combat scenes. But altogether, a great movie. Buy this DVD if you are a Star Wars fan - it is a must-have. Anyway, if you are truly a Star Wars fan, you dont have to be told - you would buy it anyway.

Summary: An absolute disgrace to the Star Wars legacy
Review: I would give this movie zero stars if I could. When I watch the original Star Wars Trilogy and then think of this steaming pile of ..., I wonder how George Lucas could have fallen so hard. This movie is wretched. It is awful. It is horrible. There simply isn't an adjective that could accurately describe how gut-wrenchingly bad this movie is. I hated every simpering, whining second of it. I'm shocked that I actually sat through it all. I'm convinced that as George Lucas wrote this screenplay, he kept a compendium of clichés next to him to refer to (if such a thing exists). Periodically, he would stop and flip through the book just to make sure that he was using every cliché known to man. My personal favorite is when Count Dooku captures Obi Wan and says, "Join me Obi Wan and together we will destroy the Sith." It's almost impossible to count just how many movies have a scene where the bad guy captures the good guy and says, "Join me and we will blah blah blah [fill in your own evil goal here]." Good job, George. That's never been done before. What further amazes me that George Lucas could write dialogue so inane and horrific, he actually managed to make great actors like Ewan McGregor, Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson look bad. I've heard many people criticize Hayden Christensen's performance but I don't think that's entirely fair. The script was so poorly written that Christensen didn't have a chance with it. Lawrence Olivier couldn't have looked good speaking that dialogue. And then there's the special effects which look like someone have Ed Wood some high-tech equipment. I figured even if the movie was terrible, the special effects would be great. After all, that was where most of the movie's hype came from. The effects were going to be stupendous, wonderful, incredible...Right? WRONG. Most of this movie looks like a cartoon. Not once do the special effects ever look real in any way. The effects in the original trilogy are far better. What made the effects look truly horrible were some of the other movies released before and after Episode II. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Lord of the Rings and Minority Report all had special effects vastly superior to the overhyped computer generated mess that was Episode II. I don't know how the DVD is. I don't have it and would be ashamed to own it. It looks like it's loaded with special features but considering how revolting the movie was, how good could the special features really be? Who really wants to see how a bad movie was made? This is probably one of the worst movies ever made. It makes Battlefield Earth look like Citizen Kane. If you're thinking about buying it or renting it, do yourself a favor and watch the original trilogy. Because Episode II is, in no way, a Star Wars movie.

Summary: You people are crazy if you did not love this movie!
Review: You people are crazy if you did not love this movie! From the fight scenes to the love scenes to the special effects, every part of this episode far exceeded the accomplishments all of the other movies combined! In their genius, they have managed to take each episodes steps beyond any other movie ever made at the time. Don't get me wrong! George has true competition for the throne with the creators of Lord of the Rings and I would not even dream of comparing the two. But within the Star Wars Universe/Genre, George delivered more in this movie than he EVER has! So if you loved any of the Star Wars episodes, you're just plain crazy if you didn't find this episode the best one yet! I can't wait to see how he plans to seamlessly tie the first three to the last three in a nice neat bow. Another half-hour (especially at $9.00) would have been fine with me. I would have loved more Jedi history. Also, I would have enjoyed more insight into the life of a Padawan and hints on the trial to become a Jedi. Simply put... there is a lot of room available in the Sci-Fi genre. If you hated it so much and think the story was weak then point me to YOUR movie so that I can see it! Tell us about YOUR 400 Million dollar budget and deadline woes. Hell, just show us what YOU'VE written... Otherwise, you are just another couch critic with no credibility! -A realist

Summary: Dissapointment
Review: I have to say this film was a total dissapointment. Yes it had specail effects, but it was boring and it seemed to have lost the plot. I am a Star Wars fan, and i was looking forward to seeing this, and i saw it twice at the cinema and i still fell short changed. I will not be buying this one and i hope that the next one will be much better.

Summary: The Clone Wars
Review: I have heard it said far too many times that Episode II has no plot. If you cannot find the plot then you are paying too much attention to the action and special effects! YES, there is plenty of action. YES, there are alot of special effects. YES, there is a plot! Perhaps some people are getting too used to stories hitting them upside the head to make sense of a story of subtle nuances and hints of things to come. (Or things that have already come to pass, as the case may be.) The PLOT revolves around CHANGE. Changes in people, attitudes, politics, and alliances. Events in Episode II will eventually lead to the universe as we originally found it in Episode IV. Remember in EPIV When the Princess said: "Aren't you a little short for a Storm Trooper?" Put it in context with the events in EPII and the question takes on a whole new meaning. If you pay attention, the entire movie is full of moments when you suddenly realize WHY things in the earlier (later) Episodes were the way they were. That's what it's all about...

Summary: LACKS EMOTION AND FLOW
Review: Lucas learned a lot from the complaints he got about EPISODE 1. You can see that. Regardless what he says, he obviously payed attention to his detractors. Yet, in my opinion, one fatal flaw crossed over and plagues both movies and most likely the third. EMOTION!! Not that there isn't any, but the movie jumps around and moves so quickly that the moments that you should grow empathy and sympathy for the characters are lost in uncomfortable mood changes and poor scripting. My opinion on special effects are that they should only be used when absolutely necessary. The original Star Wars movies were done primarily with models and tedious work. Yet, LOOKED REAL!! CGI used in excess looks ridiculous. As do these movies. STAR WARS, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK & RETURN OF THE JEDI were such hits because the audience cared! And they cared because at that time, Lucas seemed to realize that you had to develop a personal relationship with the audience. The audience has to know and care for the characters. These new movies don't have that. Not any fault to the actors. But, it seems that Lucas has forgotten that. He seems to be having so much fun playing with all his High dollar gadgets, that he forgot how to tell an effective story.

Summary: This moving gave me an Attack of the Boredom
Review: It's very simple, really. There are good films and there are bad films. Attack of the Clones falls squarely into the latter category. Clones is possibly the most boring and unoriginal science fiction movie ever made. Lucas has cribbed from a lot of sources over the years (most notably Camelot and the Arthurian Legends for the original Star Wars). But to enter into a car chase (a CAR CHASE people!) early in the film and to so blatantly rip off The Fifth Element is unconscionable. Anyone who can sit through Clones and not fall asleep (as I did in the theater) doesn't understand (and will never understand) what made the original Trilogy so much better than the ...George and Co. are turning out nowadays.
