Summary: Garbage
Review: When potential for greatness is wasted it is far fouler then a project that has no redeemable qualties from the start. Thankfully this whole mess was shot digital, so they didn't waste any film. Steer clear!

Summary: Technically brilliant - content empty
Review: The DVD is technically brilliant, the simulation lifelike and almost seamless. so what's wrong with this DVD? No storyline. Well, maybe a pathetic little story line overwhelmed by special effects. This episode is even more unbelievable that Episode 1 but without an annoying chatterbox. You never connect with the male lead (jerk is a good discription) and the romantic interest was laughable! Obiwan's adventures keeps the video afloat. The only really delightful sequence is kungfu yoda, light sabre will travel! If you have to see this, rent it. If you are compelled to buy it for your collection (DVD packrat) wait a year and pick it up in the bargain bin.

Summary: Worst Star Wars Yet?
Review: In a word, yes. Not even the special effects of this movie impressed me. I'm a Star Wars fan, a big one too, i got all the movies on VHS, and the "special editions" and the 2 new ones on DVD, I've got action figures filling up boxes that are filling up my closet. This movie dissapointed me in every way, as a fan. The acting was at the B-movie level. the script was lousy, no one talks like that. the love story was a joke, why would she love him? at least give the viewer a reason. Lucas only cares about making money and it makes me sick.

Summary: What in the Universe happened to Star Wars?
Review: Star Wars is not what it used to be. In the good old Star Wars days there were intesting characters like Hon Solo: Greedy and still a hero. The dialogue was snappy, but it didn't sound like something from a seventy five scent joke book? Remember the action? The actors actually looked like they were fighting their opponents not square dancing with their lightsabers. R2D2 used to be more than a tin can on wheels; he had what I call a personality. The story was a little cliché in places; but it wasn't down right corny. For the most part it was fast paced: bang, bang, bang. Now it's slow as Yoda with a broken leg. The characters used to be charasmatic, all out guys not bums that walked on stage and said, "Yeah, yeah, no, I thought so, can I shout myself in the butt now?" It used to be funny without begging, crying, and scratching for laughs with stupid characters and ridiculous situations. Star Wars used to be fun without being Barney.

Summary: Yoda Kicks Butt While Hayden & Natalie Heat Up the Screen!
Review: By far, this movie was better than Episode I. Hayden Christensen is a great actor, and was appropriately cast as the soon-to-be Darth Vader. He has charming qualities that only add to the chemistry between him and Natalie Portman's character. The two young actors steam up the screen with an almost teenage romance, while previews of Darth Vader begin to appear. Although the film centers on both the love story and the mystery unfolding about the notable Clone Wars, one of the greatest and almost unbelievable and comical scenes of all was Yoda, yielding a lightsaber, and taking on a fast-paced, kick-butt, scene with Lord Daku. It was hysterical and just realistic enough to keep it from being cheesy. The action scenes and graphics have definitely taken on a new look in Episode II, and I cannot wait until Episode III ties it all up. Leave it to George Lucas to take us to a galaxy far, far away and leave us wanting more!

Summary: Lucas lost his touch...
Review: I'll make this review blunt. Some people who defend this film say that those who didn't like it have lost their inner child. Really? If I can't enjoy a movie like "Attack of the Clones" unless I see it through a child's viewpoint, how is it that I enjoyed "Toy Story" and "Monsters Inc." so effortlessly? The actors in this movie deliver bland performances. Those who defend this film say that the acting in episodes 4-6 wasn't all that great, either. Maybe, but at least Luke, Han, Chewy, Leia and the droids were lovable. Every character comes off as either annoying or boring in "Attack of the Clones." (Except for Samuel L. Jackson. Mace Windu needs more screen time). The villains. Why is Lucas killing off his best villains? First Darth Maul and now Jango Fett? The editing. Mr. Lucas needs to hire a new editor. Here's a run-down of how dialogue is presented in "Attack of the Clones"-- Someone speaks.
After they're done talking, the camera remains on their face for an average of 3 seconds.
It cuts to the other person's face.
Before the other person speaks, the camera remains on their lifeless face for another 3 seconds. This is how "Phantom Menace" was edited as well. For action sequences, it's brisk and fast-paced, but sometimes I didn't know what was going on, who was being killed, etc. Speaking of action scenes, why was the best one cut so short? You all know which scene I'm talking about. That little green son of a gun had some moves on him. But just as the audience is getting into it, it's over just as fast as it had begun. The love story. If you didn't like it in "Titanic," you won't like it here. With my complaints out of the way, here are the things I liked about this movie. The visuals were AMAZING. George Lucas may have forgotten how to write a fun screenplay, but he's one heck of a visualist. The score. John Williams has conducted some of the most memorable scores in film history, and his work for "Attack of the Clones" is no exception. Anakin and Padme's love theme is wonderful. The sound effects. Wow! A Star Wars movie never sounded this good. The electric guitar-sounding effects for those seismic charges were terrifc. Also worth mention are the never-ending "vrrrr-ings" of the light sabers. My basic opinion of the movie as a whole is this: It's an annoyingly somber, badly acted space soap opera peppered with a few touches of fun action and dazzling visuals. Since it's Star Wars, it's an essential DVD for your library. However, whether you're expecting too much or expecting nothing great at all, either way, you'll be pretty disappointed. Let's hope Episode 3 puts Lucas back on the map, since it's his last shot at greatness until he does episodes 7-9.

Summary: AAAAHHH!!!! IT BURNS!!!!
Review: Geez! Talk about downhill! Episode I was good, and even the original trilogy wasn't bad, but this...This just isn't fair! When I walked into that movie theater, I was all prepared for droids' heads getting chopped off and whirling lightsabers, not mushy goo-goo kissy stuff. It was disgusting! I mean, excuse me for noticing, but even if a Star Wars movie had romance, it didn't dominate the movie. The only decent parts were the execution and the part where Yoda kicks butt. Other than that, this movie stunk. So, for all you kids who hate romance, avoid this movie like the plague. Save yourselves!

Summary: The film is rudderless
Review: A totally uninspired effort by the Star Wars team. The love scenes between Anikin and Amidala are almost painful to watch. I found myself unable to care whether they lived or died. In fact, all of the characters in the story seem limp and lifeless. The one exception would be Christopher Lee. He is the quintessetial villian. Unless you are a Star Wars fanatic, I would give this one a pass.

Summary: Why? Why? WHY?
Review: Since 1977 I had heard that George was going to make 9 SW movies. Then, after Jedi, he trimmed it down to 6. After the success of the first 3 SW movies he should've just walked away and been happy. (Can I get a witness?) George, you have oodles and oodles of cash! You never needed to do this to us! We were happy with the first 3! Well, I can take solace in the fact that I have said, since 1983, that he should NEVER make anymore SW movies. Why? Because you can't top the first 3 on ANY level. You can't top the actors, scripts, direction, villians, and the legend of the first 3!
