Summary: Better than I expected
Review: Episode One brought viewers to a different place within the Star Wars Universe: one where story doesn't matter as long as the visuals are pleasant. This movie continues the focus on eye-candy while falling below mediocre in terms of dialogue, story, and acting. It does have more story and better visuals than its predecessor, but that is all that makes this better. It's amazing how poorly a movie can use two and a half hours to drag out a simple plot about characters that the audience grows to dislike. As characters die off, a viewer has little to say other than "finally."

Summary: Best film until Satr Wars III arrives!
Review: What can I say but that Attack of the clones is absolutely amazing from start to finish. I was able to get tickets for the May 16th opening and it was worth my money and then some. I admit that I can`t stand Episode I, I still can`t watch it today I was let down completely by it, but, Episode II far surpassess every film I`ve seen since the Matrix, possibly Star wars A New Hope, People say that the dialogue is weak.....I`m sorry but the dialogue is pure fantasy thats suits its fantasy universe nothing more its not trying to be Shakespere is it? It comes down to if you want to know about Darth Vader and whats going to happen then it couldn`t have been done better. All I can say is Well done george lucas for a fantastic ride of a movie thats dazzling from beginning to end.

Summary: I seen it, Thats all can say
Review: What a big disapointment. Lucus has not lived up to his standards. The movie is to love dramatic. My kids said they didn't like it at all. I found it hard to stay interested in the movie. I wanted more battles and action. The movie wonders to much from actor to actor. My wife took the kids and bought tickets to go watch Scooby Do. I have never got up from a Star Wars movie to get a drink, but I got up twice during this one. I wanted to see some of those great galatic battels. The whole movie seems to centered about love. The battle at the end between the Colnes and the Robots does not save the Movie. Yoda can hardly walk and he fight with his Light Saber like he from the Matrix. Technology does not help this movie. It has killed the feeling that the sceans are real. I would not recommend taking young children to this movie or yourself

Summary: Star Wars Attack of the What? ...
Review: ...I HAVE SEEN IT. What a waste of a Saturday and Money. Who directed this thing, a bunch of mental challanged water heads. This thing does not even deserve a rating. I got what it deserve in the toilet. Becuase what its...!!!! It skipps all around. Lucus need to make a movie more than every 3 years. He needs to go back to making the muffet movies. Who cares about the love in another galaxy?...

Summary: This is what the Star Trek films will look like next.
Review: I begin my review this way, because I think that when ILM is finished with making the remaining Star Wars films, they will be back doing the visual effects for the Star Trek films, and the kinds of visual effects work we see here including new worlds, new starships, and new alien beings will fit in with Star Trek quite well indeed. I'm sure Paramount is already thinking along those lines. Anyway on for my Attack of the Clones review. I liked it. It was a good character driven story. Hayden Christensen and Natilie Portman pretty much carry the film, acting wise. Yoda gets the most screen time I have ever seen him in any Star Wars film. It's much closer to the fun and excitement of Episodes IV,V, and VI. Not that the Phantom Menace was a bad film, I thought it was pretty good, but this film is very good. That's all I have to say.

Summary: Star Wars Attack of Dramatic Love Story
Review: We'll I went seen it. What a suprised I got. The movie starts out with typical Star Wars begining. Setting in the dark waiting for the dramatic Light Saber fight or a great galatic ship fight. It took forever to get to some real action. The scene were the great air speeder chase happens remined me of the movie the 5th Element. I thought for along time I watching a knockoff of Ghost or some other other love drama. I have never been so bored in my life. The movie skipps around letting each actor get in a few sceanes. Someone in Star Wars always gets in trouble and has to be bailed out. The robot factory scene kept me from going to by a ticket for Spider Man. I had lost all faith in the movie up till thin. The movie did explain alot about the last three in the series. Don't forget the Gladiator battle. I think McFarlen has had all these creatures in a comic book once or twice. And talk about a cheap ending. We get a short land battle and a shorter Light Saber battle. The movie end just like the whole movie was about. That dramatic love [junk]. Way to go Lucus make a film about "A Galaxy Far Away" were people fall into love and spend time not save their empire. If you need a good nape go see it or invest your five bucks into one of the lobby video game.

Summary: Pretty darn impressed....
Review: I NEVER liked Star Wars to tell you the truth with the exception of "Return of the Jedi" which is alot because of the "Sarlok pit(Okay so I'm sure I spelled it WRONG :P)!!! But yeah anyways, I didn't expect to much from this movie at all... But I *Loved* it!!! At times the love story was a *little* bit cheezy, but it was still *GOOD* and ALL the action makes up for it!!! And I thought the story was QUITE *GOOD*!!! Its *great* to know what it was like for Anikin, it really makes you for his pain... I can't wait for Episode III now!!! It had BETTER BE *GREAT*!!! You know what was the true highlight of the film????.....WHENEVER Ewen McGregor was on screen!!! ahahaha J/K Naw but some may disapointed by this, but I SURE wasn't it was really *GOOD*.! Worth the money and for fans worth the wait. God Bless ~Amy

Summary: YODA KICKS [REAR]!!!
Review: Great movie. The dialogue doesn't fit all of the time and is not up to par of the quips that make the trilogy so enjoyable. But the effects are incredible and Christopher Lee was a great Count Dooku (also Saruman in Fellowship of the Ring). Hayden Christensen wasa good choice as Anakin, you can see him going to the dark side. He was also very good at whining throughout the movie. Obi Wan has begun to morph into the wise man we see in Tatooine in Episode 4- very nice (so anytime now the Scottish actor Ewan McGregor will trasnform to British Alec Guinness!) Padme is very different in this film. She isn't the queen anymore, so she can be herself. Threepio and Artoo, always the dynamic dou were fabulous. Threepio especially, we see more of him in this film (but less of his "parts") and he was so hilarious.
But it was little, hobbling, green Jedi Master Yoda that stole the show. He was absolutely amazing. I've never seen such an incredible scene in my entire life. Go Pointy Ears!!! George did a good job. The movie pulls you in from the beginning. Action throughout the entire thing. Very nice. Some funny moments, and lots of twists that will keep you guessing. And the very end will leave you shocked and unable to move from your seat! Okay, it was inevitable, but I didn't expect it to happen in this film! So, I guess what I'm trying to get across to you is: GO SEE ATTCK OF THE CLONES!!!

Summary: Great fun! What's up with Anakin?
Review: Although I was not as anxious to see this movie as I was Episode I, I found it to be one of the most satisfying theater experiences this year. There simply is no better an entity for visual extravagance than ILM. The action is marvelous, and the pay-offs for Star Wars fans are plenty. As with the last movie, I particularly enjoyed McGregor and Portman. To praise Yoda would be stating the obvious, he stole the show.
Sadly, I had one major disappoinment: the portrayal of Anakin Skywalker (a complaint I submit to both actor and director.) I base my opinion on my perception of the Anakin character that started with "Episode VI: Return of the Jedi". The redemption of Darth Vader lead me to believe that Anakin was once a wise and noble Jedi, whose connection with the force went beyond a technical mastery of it. We assume that the qualities of compassion and nobility, essential to the Jedi, stirred within the Sith Lord as he confronts his son in front of the Emperor, and that in the end the Light Side prevails.
I saw little of those qualities in the young Anakin. His raw power is obvious, and his turbulent psyche is appropriate... both things are indeed central to thew Anakin character. However, before Anakin falls into darkness, I would like to see him come into his rights as a true Jedi. Then, when he submits to the Dark Side, it will be all the more tragedy.
His portrayal in this movie made him seem too disconnected with the Jedi role. So much so that when he protests the idea of running off to save Obi-Wan in favor of obeying the council, it seems conradictory to the character that Lucas and Christensen had built up until then. Indeed, when Amidala pointed out that he had already disobeyed the concil's directive when he secretly stole away to take care of his own business on Tatiooine, I found myself asking the same question. His love for Amildala seemed obsessive and selfish. I found myself wishing that Amidala would come to her senses and dump him for Obi-Wan.
Ultimately my complaint is this: I want to admire and respect Anakin before I fear and loath him as Darth Vader. Episode II doesn't give me much opporunity to do that. I want more good in him to offset the turbulence, which would, I believe, create a more substantial conflict.
My apologies to Anakin/Christensen fans. If you enjoyed him, then more power to you. I just hope I get to like the character more in III than in I or II. Fortunately for me, this one element could not ruin the movie.
