Summary: Very good movie
Review: I see it all the time from people who don't like Episode 1 and 2. But I then have to just laugh about how much they don't get what Star Wars is about.

First it's "It should be like Lord of the Rings!" Why? No wait don't answer that. Then it's it need to be made by Peter Jackson. Again why? Don't answer that. There is more but I will not put it here.

This is a very good movie. Those who don't get the story well they just don't get Star Wars. It's all really easy to understand what is going on and why. That is if you watched the movie. If not well that is your problem.

This movie has deep characters, and a deep story. Far deeper then anything else that is out there. It has history that has never been in any movie before or after. Sorry but The Martix did not have history. Unless you think that the cartoons they had are history. Fun thing people say GL is a sell out. Well the people who made The Matrix want you to by all there crap just to understand the movie. :|

Summary: Special effects extravaganza
Review: Once again George Lucas pulls off a special-effects coup, this time in his brilliant transformation of Fozzie Bear into Jedi Master Yoda. The only flaw is that listening to Yoda speak, it's easy to forget that you are not watching Fozzie perform one of his brilliant comedy routines.

One of the great mysteries of the original series is solved in this movie: why couldn't Imperial Stormtroopers ever hit the broadside of a barn? In "Clones" it is revealed that all stormtroopers are actually clones of the slightly off-balanced Jenga Fett, the bounty hunter who can't manage to successfully shoot Obi Wan with weapons ranging from a handgun to a small starship blast cannon.

For those who wonder why Obi Wan is so poor at relating to teen-aged Anakin, just watch for the deleted scene of Obi Wan asking Yoda to explain a copy of Benjamin Spock's book. And the less said about Miss Piggy appearing as a karate-chopping Jedi the better.

While some nitpickers may complain about a few small plot holes, the fact is that there's nothing wrong here. All plot holes are at least slightly smaller than an imperial starcruiser, even if most are bigger than the QE II.

The ambiguous expressions on Anakin's face remain a bit of a mystery, perhaps indicating a lack of fiber in his diet.

In the end, the viewer is left with only two questions: why is the Dark Side of the Force so easy to master and what's so bad about it anyway? Only the Clone Arranger knows.

Summary: Is it that hard to do ?
Review: Hey george lucas! its called emotion.here is an idea,have your characters show a little.samuel l jackson,ewan mcgregor and natalie portman are very good at showing it.How about pulling your head out of the computer effects for 10 minutes and give them a little direction next time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a supreme technological mylestone
Review: the second film in the masterpiece saga is truely superior to any fantasy. Above and beyond the flawed Lord of the Rings. The first Digital movies in motion picture history has the greatest effects, that serve the story not the other way around like most films.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: It's okay!
Review: If you're really into Star Wars, then this is a must have to complete the entire set for when the 3rd one comes out. However, this isn't the best film in my opinion. I think that the original 4,5,and 6 were better than the new 1 and 2. I think that there's WAY TOO MUCH SPECIAL EFFECTS!!! Before in the originals, there were special effects, but they were more "home movie" kind of special effects. In this movie, I can't think of many scenes where there isn't something that's digitally animated. Now, that's good for LOTR and Matrix, but I think we should get back to the "home movie" kind of special effects. Other wise, this film is OKAY, I guess.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: hahahahahahahahahahahahahhaaaaa!!!!!
Review: okay, 1.5 stars. really good special effects.
Hayden Christensen! guess what? you're the worst actor I've ever seen or heard!
this movie was horrible. "Don't get me wrong," (Watto in Episode 1) "I like Star Wars, the first three, even if the all the special effects aren't too great. But this Attack of the Clones? What's gotten into George Lucas? How many dozens of stupid lines can you put into a movie? Whoever cast Hayden Christensen for the role of Anakin should be taken out and shot, as well as the ones who wrote the dialogue. I'm sorry, die-hard Star Wars fans, but come on........"Anni? my goodness, you've grown!" "So have you, only....I mean....more beautiful." Help. "Please don't look at me like that.........it makes me feel uncomfortable." Then the most horrifying: "I don't like sand. It's so coarse and rough. But....not like here. Everything here is soft.....and smooth." (As he strokes Padme's back!!!)Come on. What is that? WHAT IS THAT? I mean, the guy could have at LEAST put a MILLIGRAM of emotion in his stupid voice!!!!!!!
I mean, this movie does entertain me......my friend and I pop in the DVD and watch certain parts, just so we can laugh at Hayden Christensen's pathetic attempts at acting. I mean, what's even better is this: (try it, it's hilarious) Watch a certain scene, but with no sound, and make up the lines. (With someone else, though). It's hilarious. Come on...."You're stupid, Padme. You're a disgrace to humanity." "Anni! Let's go surfing! Owwwwweeeeeee!" That's loads better than, "Tell me about him." "Weeeeell.........his name was Palo.....he had blue eyes....he was so cute......" Do we care about Padme's old boyfriend? No. Do you REALIZE that Palo means 'stick' in Spanish?!?!
The fact that Christophe Lee was in it was good, despite the fact that he was also given a few dumb lines.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Blame it on Joseph Campbell
Review: ... Bill Moyers didn't help much, either. That whole "Power of the Myth" thing has gotten out of hand and all the praise has turned Lucas's creative talents to gruel.
Back before the attack of the prequels I'd never have dreamed that Lucas would deliver up a whiny, angst-ridden Darth Vader. Never thought I'd be watching the clock and waiting for some excitement, either. Someone needs to put some air back into The Franchise.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A so-so flick
Review: George Lucas is a genius, but ocassionally geniuses get tired. Attack of the Clones has all the elements that smells of Star Wars: talks the talk, walks the walk, the light saber sound effects are all there and recogizable.

But the films just don't have the same heart as the original movies we've growned to love. Christensen and Portman, while talented, don't really seem to have that on-screen chemistry between them the way Han and Leia did. So their relationship, to me, seems somewhat flat and forced.

And the jargon they use is far more technical and drab than the original trilogy--this is the past they're showing for goodness sake! What happened to all those great cheesy lines like "Never tell me the odds!" or "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper?" It seems like the adventures that Padme and Anakin have together are much too serious. They don't seem to be having fun with it. That's what made the old Star Wars so loveable.

It's also what makes the old Star Trek Series more memorable than the new Star Trek Series. It was back in the days when a ship was hit, it was hit! People were stumbling all over the deck. They didn't just lean to the side bracing themselves, albeit the technology to withold a blast is significantly better than its predecessor's. Capt Kirk, despite his busy schedule, still found time to seduce every female species in the galaxy. Science fiction is much too politically correct nowadays. Lighten up. That's why people are turning to fantasy a little more because there's pleny of leeway.

Hopefully, Mr. Lucas will make the last prequel more enlightening and heartfelt. All the action and battling is a must, but give us some characters we can learn to warm up to.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clone Reviews
Review: So now everyone is a critic! I'm so tired of whinning fanboys complaining about the prequel trilogy, the Special Editions of the original trilogy, the casting of Hayden and Nathalie, and so on.

This is a wonderful film. This is what film is all about. A great epic to show the magnitude of what was there before the empire we know so well from the OT. This is what we didn't know. We didn't know there were cities like Theed in Naboo. We didn't know the interior of Coruscant. What it was like to live in those planets before the dark times.

Not just that, but we also get to see the most tragic romance ever unfold. Every halfwit out there will say that it is plain stupid. But they forget something relevant: this is fiction, this is not the reality of our 21th century world, but the reality of a galaxy far, far away. In our world, maybe romantic dialogue is almost extinct, or it consists mostly of clichés. But the SW universe was created by one mind alone, and that is Lucas'. You can't judge the Anakin and Padme romance by our own reality, just like you couldn't judge a short-sized green dwarf to be the greatest swordsman of all time. Either you accept this universe as it is, or you don't.
I do not like Jar Jar very much, for instance. I didn't like some of the kiddie stuff in PM, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the movie.

This is the ESB of the PT. As with the OT, the middle proves to be a milestone film, building to new heighs over the previous one. I sure hope that episode III is better than ROTJ, anyway.
This is Lucas' epic. With the OT we got the story, now with the PT we get the myth behind that story. We get to see the golden age of the jedi, and meet new characters we didn't know (Mace Windu, Dooku, Maul, Anakin, Padme, Palpatine, Jango Fett, Qui- Gon...) and also see where is all comes from.

And this PT, if anything, makes the OT more tragic. Because now, Vader ain't just a killing machine with a heart, but is actually someone, someone who was a loving child once, someone who could passionately love a woman. That brings him closer to us, now he is not only an icon. And therefore, the tragedy of his downfall.

My advice: try to see these new films for what they are, not what you wanted them to be. Each and every one of us would have made them differently, but none of us had the vision to come up with it in the first place. So just let Lucas take you to the one place where all six SW films came from... his imagination.
