Summary: You guys are a little harsh.
Review: All most everyone that has listed a review think Episode II is a disappointment. You might as well not even go see Ep3 because you be saying the samething on here after it is out. I loved episode 2 because of the strong love story. Episode 2 stands out because it is the ONLY love story. Don't you feel something inside yourself for Anakin and Padme, or when Shmi dies? I do, i feel a deep connection with the characters, something i don't feel as strong or at all with any of the other 4 movies. All of you that HATE Ep2 is because you are all action buffs. Episode I and II are not supposed to be all out action movies like the trilogy, they occur during peaceful times and set up the story. You should consider this before critizing.

Summary: Fun at times, but laughable love scenes
Review: While Attack of the Clones is a much better film than its predecessor, this movie suffers from uninspired intimate scenes between Padme and Anakin. (The script is mostly to blame.)Thankfully, these scenes are are brief and tolerable. The rest of the film is filled with fantastic settings and of course jaw-dropping special effects. The focus of the movie is on Anakin as he reunites with Padme for another adventure. There are lots of action scenes from the "city-planet" of Coruscant, to the desert wastelands of Geonosis. No Star Wars fan will be disappointed (at least, not as much as Phantom Menace). Attack of the Clones is good clean fun.

Summary: 'Attack of the Clones'
Review: What I like most about 'Attack of the Clones', is it's diffrent from the kind of movies that come out today. The adventure scenes are like something from an Errol Flynn movie, the romance
is corny, the humor old fashon, almost everything is out-dated.
visual effects do play a key role in this film, but also have something to do with the story. Christopher Lee gives the films best porformence, as the evil 'Count Dooku'. My favorite scene is when Yoda get's into the action, in his first lightsaber duel with a sith lord.

Summary: Best One for Visual Effects
Review: I'm all about eye candy. Star Wars is a movie for people that love movies. Don't look for a deeper meaning beyond the special effects. If you want deep thought go see The Matrix and M:Reloaded.

Summary: ruined masterpiece
Review: i like this movie and all i do but its just when compareing this to the originals the originals make this movie look like trash it doesnt really tell the story that well it just rushes into action or it does tell the story but in a boring way geroge lucus will yet again make a 3 and a half star star wars film in 2005 i mean he has to keep up his good work which isnt that good i think he just fell lazy back in the old days all they really could have was a story sense special effects were limited but they figure since its 2002 lets just add a somewhat story and pile special effects on top of it anyways this film isnt horrible but it isnt great all in all if your a star wars fan like me buy the dvd if your not rent it or just get something else

Summary: A Long Long Time Ago... In A Galaxy Far Far Away
Review: About six years after episode one, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his Apprentice Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader. well not yet anyways) come to protect Senator Amadala. Then something comes up and Obi-Wan goes to investigate a cloning facility on a different planet, this is where they meet Boba and Jango Fett. Meanwhile Anakin and Senator Amadala start to flare up in love. Then later Jango Fett lets the Dark Side have a army of Clones thus having a clone war. The ending sequence is where Anakin and Senator Amadala get married.
I suggest this movie to any big star wars fan. It is just like the old trilogy. It is like reliving it once agian.

Summary: Attack of Lucas' Ego
Review: Episode 3 is not that far off. I have but one wish. Please, please, George Lucas, hire a decent writer! The writing in Episode 2 is so pathetically bad that there is no way it could ever live up to it's ultimate potential. The characters end up being completely underdeveloped as they wade through insipid lines of dialogue. The framework of the story is more than compelling. However, special effects alone can't carry a film. Even one as huge as a Star wars film.Think about what made the original trilogy so amazing. The story combined with some great screenplays elevated the films to legendary status. Interestingly enough, Lucas didn't direct Empire or Jedi. He also wasn't given the credit for writing the screenplays. He produced and created the story. I guarantee, if he had gone back to that formula, we'd be talking about how amazing Episode 1 and 2 were. Instead, they leave much to be desired. The movie is still good, don't get me wrong. It's got a lot of great qualities. The digital effects are great. Yoda looks amazing, far better than that silly puppet used in Episode 1. Yoda's fight scene was heart-stopping. That said, when you have to depend on effects to carry a film, you're in trouble. Also, why do all the interesting characters keep getting killed off? Darth Maul. Jango Fett. Great characters that were underdeveloped. Ewan MacGregor, alone, is carrying this franchise. He is spot-on as Obi-wan Kenobi. I am looking forward to Episode 3. I hope it becomes all that it can be. We shall see.

Summary: Painful
Review: Not quite as bad as sitting in the dentist office but close. Nothing personal but it was painful watching Hayden Christensen portray Anakin Skywalker. Each scene involving Anakin contained cliches so bad I wanted to vomit on the floor.

Summary: I Beg You
Review: Memo to George Lucas:
I beg you, PLEASE let someone else write the dialogue for the final Star Wars movie! You can give the screenwriter the story, the scenes and characters, but I'm begging you, no more "wooden" dialogue. It's downright embarrassing. I cringe when I hear some of the stuff you force the actors to say. You wasted the talents of Portman, McGregor and Jackson. If you can ignore the brutal dialoge (and acting from Christensen), then this movie is amazing visually. The story is better than that of The Phantom Menace. The acting is on par with The Menace though (thanks to Lucas). This is a 5 star movie visually but the character dialoge drags it down to 3. Just think how great this could've been had a real screenwriter and director got the most out of this cast. I'm thinking Christensen might be passable as an actor if he wasn't reading "Lucas Speak". Get the DVD and view it on as big a screen as possible with SurroundSound.
