Summary: great movie
Review: There is no doubt in my mind that Episode II is better than Episode I. There is more action, better graphics and it has a better story behind it. I saw this when it first came out and after I saw it I wanted to see it again. The movie has you sitting on the edge of your sit the entire time. The only bad thing about the whole deal is you have to wait 3 years before you will see the next Episode and I know the next Episode will rock to. George Lucas is an awesome producer and knows what he is doing. I give both of the Episodes a two thumbs up. AWESOME MOVIE.

Summary: Much better than Episode I
Review: I loved this movie--Mr. Lucas comes back much stronger after the curiously embarassing Episode I. The special effects were magnificient, as usual, and Hayden C. is serious hottie--he made me squirm with his smouldering sensuality... Overall, the acting was typical of all the Star Wars movies: good, considering the dialogue they are given. By far the highlight of the film, was the infamous showdown between Yoda and Dooku: it gave me hope that Mr. Lucas hadn't quite lost his touch after all. However, he still needs some help with writing dialogue. Sure, this is (and always will be) his 'baby', but sometimes, you need to let someone else 'do the talking.' Definitely a must have for the collection--...

Summary: Spectacular Prequel. Lucas is a genius!!!
Review: I definitly recommand Attack of the clones to buy when it comes out on video. A New Hope was ok. The Empire Strikes Back was wonderful. Return of the Jedi was very good. The Phantom Meanice was allright. But Attack of the Clones has great characters, nice storyline and plenty of action and exciment. I just can't wait to see Episode III is about. But if you haven't seen Episode II yet rent it or buy it when it comes out. Or see it in the movies. It's the best movie this year.

Summary: now THAT'S entertainment .......
Review: George Lucas does not have to prove anything!
He always delivers - AND - most important - he always entertains, and invents - something just slightly newer than before. This latest escapade into the 'Star Wars' myth catapults you straight into that 'special' world of make-believe [then maybe not so illusionary]. This is fun, escapist, and very captivating - so - others tend to look to deeply into the 'myth' created by Lucas and his expert team - rule # 1 - just enjoy over and over and over again - quite superior! [In all aspects].

Summary: George Lucas is a Genius
Review: George Lucas is the greatest director on the face of the earth. If you didn't see Ep. II at the theater then you better buy the DVD. It will be the greatest movie you have ever seen in your entire life. Even if you ignore all the flashy special effects (which is darn near impossible) you still have a deep and emotional plot that overwhelms you (especially Star Wars fans). I think it is the best Star Wars film yet. A definite must buy.

Summary: Sound and Vision
Review: Attack of the Clones is the spell-binding follow-up to The Phantom Menace, worthy of the Star Wars tradition, filled with compelling characters, outstanding music along with lustrous and visceral effects that once again push limits of visual story telling. The master of myth and mystification has returned in his finest form creating a space opera that will hook and reward the viewer on ever-greater levels with each subsequent viewing. Lucas has recaptured his tradition of telling an elaborate mythological tale with the simplicity of a Saturday serial and the most stunning vistas any moviemaker has ever committed to film. Lucas has described the Star Wars films as silent pictures set to music and he remains true to that vision as the latest movement in George Lucas's "symphony," as he has calls them, with "recurring musical themes." Inspired in equal parts by Wagner's Ring Cycle and grade-B movies such as Buck Rogers, the Lucas' Star Wars saga takes the viewer on a hero's journey through worlds richly detailed and densely layered as a backdrop to the action. Each planet has an evolutionary history and every building a story-even advertising signs have a tale to tell. Taking place ten years after its last installment, Attack of the Clones is the teenage development of the child-like Phantom Menace with action to spare and a new mythological theme: a forbidden love that blossoms between Anakin, the doomed hero and Padame, the former Queen of Naboo. This fantastic religious space epic comes equipped with modern political lessons as heroes sew the innocent seeds of their own destruction. At the peak of their prestige the Jedi, on verge of losing their grip on their (other) worldly existence, defend the Republic in the midst of growing political unrest produced by a corrupt regime trampling upon the natural rights of those they seek to protect. In preparation for these latest installments, George Lucas studied the rise of modern political dictatorships and found that all arose in relatively democratic environments as populations give up freedom to their would-be protectors. The mysterious Count Dooku, a former Jedi, emerges as a charismatic power broker and the leader of a separatist movement seeking reform. Anakin's hubris, always the down fall of mythological heroes from Icarus to Oedipus, seems destined to become the downfall the Jedi as well paving the way for the totalitarian tyranny to come (in what will probably prove to be a very dark Episode III). The endless battles between good and evil produce a religious epic that works on a visceral level-not a humorless sermon for the "religiously correct" like Left Behind, nor a fairytale unable transcend or transform as in The Lord of The Rings (the movie that draws from the Star Wars tradition leaves its hero much in the same way we first meet him by the end of that trilogy). Attack of the Clones is more like Rebel Without A Cause than The Ten Commandments and more like Metropolis than Citizen Kane. But, like Orson Wells and his equally billed cinema photographer Gregg Toland, Lucas uses every visual trick at his disposal to keep us watching the magic show and, unlike Citizen Kane, the layers run deep revealing more meaning with each subsequent viewing. As in all Star Wars sagas, the twists and turns of fate depends upon the heroic actions of a few, for it's the film's irresistible rush of action and spectacle that we have come to see. With tongue in cheek acting and dialogue of a Saturday matinee serial, the symphonic opera's captivation begins when the music blares and the title hits the screen. As the words start crawling backwards into the darkness of star-speckled outer space, the pulp fiction fantasia begins delivering the fast and intense joy ride that Star Wars fans have come to expect from one of the great cinematic experiences of out time. What Star Wars lacks in dialogue, it more than makes-up for with a unique sense of scale and musical story telling that rivals the best films ever made. If you want to see a good fairy tale, pick up a copy of Lord of the Rings with its superior dialogue but inferior musical score. If you want to see the masterpiece that inspired both the Lucas and Tolkein story, check out The Metropolitan Opera's version of Wagner's Ring Cycle conducted by James Levine or any other good version (Die Walkure is the often cited favorite in the cycle). If you like your musical drama to be presented in a more modern idiom-and with more bite-catch Hedwig and the Angry Inch (in the tradition of Bob Fosse but with a punk rock twist). But if you wish to see the latest installment of, seemingly, pure escapist entertainment in what is quickly proving to be among the greatest movie epics of all time, then Attack of the Clones is for you.

Summary: What was that?
Review: I understand that the special effects are expensive, actually they're worth it, the movie is impressive, visually. But the story is just so bad, couldn't Lucas afford a real writer? The dialogues are just the worst I have ever heard (and I saw Dude wheres my car). The only way they make the DVD interesting is they make a mute track.

Summary: 2.5, actually, but this movie wasn't very good
Review: I just don't understand why people made such a big deal out of this movie. First of all, yes the Darth Tyranus/Yoda fight scene was great. In fact, the last 40-something minutes of the film was very entertaining, with great special effects and thrilling action sequences. However, before that, I found this movie to be very boring. The beginning chase scene with Obiwon Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker was also fairly entertaining, but in all that time in between the beginning and the end (over an hour worth of film), the film fell flat on its face. Ewan McGregor was better as Kenobi than he was in The Phantom Menace, but Hayden Christiansen and Natalie Portman have both seen better days- they nearly kill the film. An immense amount of time is spent "developing" the romance between these two, but their acting is atrocious and there seems to be zero chemistry in between them. Not only that, but the entire film ponders, and unlike other films, you can really feel this movie's 150-minute running time. I can't really remember the entire film- maybe because I saw it back in May, and maybe because much of it was forgettable- but I do remember sitting in the theatre and actually feeling bored about an hour and a half into the film. Any action in the 90-minute wasteland stretch between the chase scene and the final battle is obligatory and not well done. For example, I personally found little to be excited about in Obiwon's battles with Jango Fett. I realize that 0 out of 200 people will find this review helpful, but I felt I had to write it anyway. Something has happened to the Star Wars universe in the 16-year break, because these new films just aren't as fun as the old ones. "Attack of the Clones" was surprassed at the box office by both "Spider-Man" and "Lord of the Rings", and I'm afraid rightfully so because they were both far superior films. In the mood for a "Star Wars" film? Just watch "The Empire Strikes Back" over again.
