Summary: Horribly disapointed
Review: Ratings:
1. Special Effects=10
2. Directing=2
3. Plot=3
4. Acting=4Hmmm....well, at least it was visually stunning. I think to stand out these days, you need to have a good plot and at least decent acting. The audience has to care about the characters and what will happen to them (Basic movie requirement). None of this is present here. There are already a ton of movies with special effects, so standing on that alone just doesn't cut it.
In the future, Lucas can be head of special effects, but that's about it! And please, use the acting talent available!

Summary: The Force is stronger with this one
Review: I found that I liked SW:AOTC much better than the previous film. Here we see the growing anger and fear in Anakin as he moves towards the Dark Side. What really made this movie more enjoyable was the reuniting of C-3PO and R2. Seeing the begining of their relationship was a blast. Also, the movie begins filling in the blank spaces left by the first trilogy. Now we know the real relationship between Luke Skywalker and Uncle Owen, why Owen was filled with dread that Luke would become like his fater. The special effects are really great and there is more action and scenes that are fuller with more emotional range. I felt excitement now for seeing Episode III!

Summary: Not As Classical As Other Parts
Review: Episode II, has amazing graphics and story to connect to the other sequels, the problem is though that George Lucas unfortanetly hired some pretty bad actors. Hayden Christensen can not act as well as Luke did in the older episodes. He is not a very large vocabulary type actor. The effort of Lucas to turn SW into a modern movie has failed. He can't really do it well, the movie would have been much better without the yeas, and oks, but hey.. it's his movie.. I LOVED the movies graphics and story so i gave it a 3 in rating.. it's worth seeing.

Summary: Better than the theather at least!
Review: This movie wasn't so digital on a dvd as I said it was in the movie theater. But George isn't going to copy film directly to a dvd from a digital camera. You got to pay the piper...to see it in theather before you get the awesome dvd's. Was this worth getting? If you are into the storyline as I am than this is worth your money! I look forward to the final episode. Thanks for a good movie series George!

Summary: Yuck!...
Review: The plot is not bad, the Digital Effects are OK, but for all the rest, all I can say is YUCK...!
Unless you're a big fan of South-American soap-operas, I can't imagine you enjoying this movie.
What a disgrace seeing Portman and McGregor acting with such poor dialogs (god I miss them from Leon & Trainspotting), as a result the whole movie can be shrinked out to 30 mn (plot and some battles), but here you get a 2 hrs bonus of useless scenes, love declarations, and deceptions.
A friend of mine told me it was much better than Episode I (which made me sleep for about 1 hr), but I see Ep. II exactly the same.
What happened to the George Lucas that created the first trilogy? I personally have no clue, but something did happen.
I can deduce that this movie has been digitally directed too. PS: One positive thought about this movie, is when you follow it up with another movie (like I did with "Hedwig & the angry inch"), then you'll find out and appreciate excellent directing.

Summary: Fantastic! Extraordinary!
Review: I rate this film 6 stars out of 5. The effects and action sequences are dazzling! (For comparison, Episode I deserves 4 stars overall, at the most.) The Star Wars universe compares very favorably with any mythologies or fantasies I know, including JRR Tolkien's. I'd indeed argue that Lucas's double trilogy is much bigger and far more interesting than all of Tolkien's books combined. And the movies are also one level above anything contrived by Peter Jackson (although his films are entertaining in their own right). I'd bet that if Tolkien were alive today to see Lucas's films, he'd be swept off his feet (or fall off his seat). To combine grand mythology, science fiction, morality tale, and psychological drama in this perfectly balanced brew is too much for anyone even with Tolkien's brilliance to beat. And the special effects are just state-of-the-art! Shakespeare may have been the hottest writer in Elizabethan times, but Lucas is the greatest creative, artistic genius alive today.

Summary: No longer art -- now just cynical money making machines
Review: Well, the disheartening decline of Star Wars continues on its steady march. How could something so awesome as the first movie (now 'episode 4') spawn such god-awful progeny? The first sequel (Empire Stikes Back) was tolerable. The second (Revenge of the Jedi), got pretty ridiculous with its way-too-cutesy muppet-fest, overly melodramatic love scenes and Luke at his whiniest; but, I could watch it without too much nausea. (My biggest complaint with this 'last movie in the series' is that I was hoping for a sophisticated climax to a major galactic political/military plot and all I get is another big explosion and the lead charaters dancing around with little teddy bears. What a let down!!) Now the 'prequels' are coming out and so must the barf bags. In 'Episode 1' we experience the real low-point. I get the feeling that these movies are being assembled based on the results of market research projects rather than someone actually trying to tell a story. Everything seems manipulated and calculated to push a certain button, pull on a particular emotional string, or appeal to a certain demographic (Jar Jar Binks as rasta dude for example). Most of the lead actors do a creditable job with the lame script they have been handed, but the pacing is uneven and the story line is muddled. The special effects are great, but great special effects are never enough of a crutch to save a truly bad movie. Episode 2 solves some of the the pacing and story-line problem and takes the audience along for pretty fun ride on its simplest level. Perhaps the biggest problem here is the acting of the Anikin character and the dreadfully bad love scenes between him and Natalie Portman. They are truly awful. They are so bad that the audience in the cinema I first saw it in began audibly laughing. The actor who portrays Anikin is simply not up to the part. The others aren't too bad. But Anikin is the crucial character; and he is so bad that you feel sorry for him. Whoever made this casting decision should be taken out back and beaten. But again, the deepest problem I have with this movie is the cynical and clumsy way it tries to manipulate the audience. Each scene seems to be guided by some kind of 'hollywood movie making formula' to elicit a particular type of reaction. The irony is that the formulae are wrong! I don't sense any real story-telling here at all. It's like it was constructed out of 'movie' lego-block parts. Snap the 'love scene' block together with the 'battle scene' block and the 'cute sidekick' block and you'll make x millions of dollars. The first movie (episode 4) was art. It was heroic, epic storytelling on a grand scale. These latest movies have moved as far away from that as I can imagine. They are pure money-making machines designed to maximize the profits for as long as possible. You get the feeling they put more time into marketing the action figures and the promotions with Burger King than they did into making the movie. Like millions of other people, I was absolutely blown away by the first movie (Episode 4). So I kept going to the sequels and prequels hoping that they'd recapture the magic -- only to be disappointed again and again and again. How stupid is that on my part? (Thanks, but don't bother answering. I already know...)

Summary: This Movie is the BEST Star Wars Film !
Review: I have read some complaints about this film, and I think you need to know what I think. I have been a Star Wars Fan since I was in the third grade, but I gave it up in the fifth grade. Now I'm glad I'm back! At first , I wasn't going to go see it , but I am so happy that I saw it! When I saw Episode I in theaters, I liked it , but then I wasn't so pleased. This movie is way better then Episode I. Now, I know some people say that it's not really good, but you need to understand. Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is a whiner, but that's part of what gets him to the dark side. Before someone turns evil , (in movies) they usually are jealous, a whiner, having a bad attitude etc. These are the qualities to a great villian. Hayden Christensen does a SUPERB job of playing a "young Darth Vader." When I see Anakin I see Vader. I also get the chills when I see him getting aggressive. I even fell sorry for him because he turns evil, but I'm glad he turns good in Return of the Jedi.(I even fell sad) Natalie Portman does an excellent job of playing the part of Padme. I really can see a mother in
her. When she sees Anakin evil she looks scared and I think that's cool because she can't imagine seeing him like that. The love scenes are REALLY good . It makes you wonder "Wow Darth Vader was once in love", "Oh I can't believe he was so handsome. I'm looking forward to see their marriage end in tragic in Episode III. Also, Ewan Mcgregor does a great job playing the part of Obi-Wan. He is doing a great job finishing what Alec Guiness started. Padme is involved in more of the action.Anakin even looks evil , and when they play Darth Vader's theme, it adds more to his aggresion. So don't listen to what other people say about this movie and go and get this movie and remember how you felt when you saw Star Wars for the first time back in 1977 , and whatch as the second part of the Star Wars Saga unfoldes!

Summary: Great Movie
Review: The episode II DVD is worth buying. The quality of the picture is by far the best available(extremly crisp and colorful).There is hours of bonus material on Disk 2. Although the movie has been criticized by many, I think good effort was put into making Attck of the Clones. This is most definitely a movie to watch, as well as all the other Star Wars.

Summary: Best Action/Sci Fi which I've seen in years
Review: A long time ago (1977, 1980) in a place far far away (Hong Kong) I saw the first two episodes (4 & 5) in the cinema. The impression they left on my young mind (I was 6 & 9 respectively) stays with me for the rest of my life. I could hardly believe my eyes! I'm now too old to have this sort of reaction anymore, to any movies. But I'm still a Star Wars fan. Technically speaking, the difference between the originals and the new prequels is the difference between Stone Age and Iron Age. Especially this one, the Attack of the Clones - where the graphics are amazing, and the action sequences intense. I was unable to see the film in Lucas's digital version, but I saw it twice, the last time in IMAX big screen. I'm still awestruck. There is a lot of talk on the web about whether Sidious is Palpatine. I think this film gave away an important clue: the background music when Sidious appears is the same as Palpatine's in Return of the Jedi. This kind of films is worth every penny. My hats off to you Americans - only you people have the resources to make them. Bravo!
