Summary: Star Wars Is Back - Big Time!
Review: I don't want to spoil a thing and I don't want to say much more than the simple fact that I have a new favorite episode in the series. My prior favorite, "Empire," is far surpassed by "Attack Of The Clones.""Attack Of The Clones" makes up for the disappointment of "Phatom Menace" and thensome. This movie not only proves that the three year wait was worth it, but that film is dead, because the digital cameras they used to make "Clones" appear to be in no way inferior to traditional 35mm. Also, Lucas may be demanding in having this film shown only in Theaters with THX or the equivalent, but it's worth it. This is the best sounding movie I have ever heard at the theater. Whereas it seems like theaters never turn on all the speakers or leave all the good parts out, "Attack Of The Clones" takes advantage of every speaker, making you feel every chase scene and every lightsaber duel. It is simply awesome. The only thing to rival how good it sounds is how good it looks. Personally, I welcome the digital age and this film proves that I am not wrong in feeling so. My personal feelings on "Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones": Yoda and Mace Windu steal the show, "Titanic" has finally met its superior, and it's going to be a hard three years to wait for "Episode III."

Summary: Huh?
Review: Didn't Star Wars used to be great? What is this garbage we're being fed now? I refuse to get into The Phantom Menace because the pain is too much to bear, but now, when redemption is within George Lucas' grasp he drops the ball yet again. I was fortunate enough to be treated to a screening and was very let down. The action is definitely better, I'll give it that, but for every immpressive scene there are a handful more that reek of cheesy dialogue and shameful acting by Hayden Christensen. He is the equivalent to Jake Lloyd's performance in TPM. Watching him and Natalie Portman(who IS good)interact is gut wrenching. Even Ewan McGregor seems like he's bored out of his mind almost every scene he's in.
The visuals are very nice and vast, really amazing eye candy, the costumes and set designs are superb, but the magic just isn't there. There are a few scenes that begin so well and are so very promising and they end up letting you down. I won't spoil it, but the "cliffhanger" doesn't at all leave you begging for more, and though Yoda is a sight to behold in this one, his actions, and I do mean actions, come off like a funny skit you'd perform with your Yoda action figure, not the dramatic confrontation that is suppossed to be taking place. Overall, there are much more positive aspects to this film than TPM, but like I said before, the magic just isn't there, the drama and suspense and thrills just don't come through in the clutch. I only pray that with only one more to go, there is a drastic turn for the better. I am thoroughly disappointed and suggest you spend your money on SPIDER-MAN, a movie that by no means is perfect, but leaves you feeling that wonder and excitement can still be captured on screen. CLONES does not.

Summary: A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...
Review: ...George Lucas created Star Wars - one of the greatest film masterpieces of all time (OK, maybe sounding a little too corny here!:). Star Wars is like art on film. It is very brilliant, and 100% pure fun. I believe that all Star Wars films to date were excellent in their own ways. Yes, I hated Jar Jar Binks in episode 1 as much as the next person, but the computer animation of his character was truly superb! My favorite Star Wars film is most definitely Return of the Jedi, though a lot of people find Empire Strikes Back to be the best. I truly believe that Attack of the Clones can really surpass Return of the Jedi as well as A New Hope, and perhaps even Empire Strikes Back. Episode 2 will bring us deeper into the story of Anakin Skywalker and how he became Darth Vader. Episode 1 was just an introduction - so of course it was a "light" story. But episode 2 promises to be much darker, and episode 3 promises to be one of the darkest episodes of them all! You'll be able to understand the whole saga once every single episode is finally complete and released on dvd. Then, you will be able to watch Star Wars from episode 1 to the final episode, whichever one that will be, since I heard Lucas was planning on a 7th episode, with Luke's children. Trust me, just wait 'til like, 2010, then they should probably have each and every Star Wars film on dvd. Episode 2 also introduces us to the romance between Sentor Amidala and Anakin Skywalker - which will explain how Luke and Leia are born in the third episode (that's why Luke, Leia, and Hans are not in this new trilogy...duh!). Also, Obi-Wan will be older in this movie, and Anakin will have gone through some great development since episode 1 and proves himself to be a good Jedi. Yoda will be back, and yes, even Jar Jar - but he will have a much smaller role in this one. And I don't think teen pop boyband N Sync will appear in this movie. They were scheduled to, but after the internet got numerous responses from angry Star Wars fans, I think George Lucas cut out the cameo (thank GOD!:). Anyway, there will be some major battle scenes, as well as awesome special effects and a great story. The acting is supposed to be superb - and I've seen every single trailer and preview since they started showing them. I can't wait to see episode 2 and I hope it has a lot of success!

Review: ... To tell the truth, Lucas never had much creative vision to begin with. Writing only goes so far and the better two of the original three weren't directed by him. I have to be honest, Episode 2 has the potential to be the best of the series. Like Empire, it gives a deeper look into the emotions of the characters and develops them more, and like Jedi, it's action looks absolutely kick [bootie]. This will be the best movie this summer, including Spider-Man.

Summary: The saga continues...
Review: George Lucas' vision of Star Wars is probably very different than what we expect.If anything was a sign of things to come with the prequels,we should have been prepared after the release the "Special Editions". Everyone knows the plot by now so I won't go into it,I will say that "Clones" is an improvement over the Phantom Menace in the action department,unfortunately it's still plagued by some cardboard acting,amaturish dialogue,and over-used CGI.Lucas claims these movies are for adolescents,but he forgot one thing,Critics and fans alike do not need to be adolescents to be able to see the prequels so far are inferior to the originals.

Summary: A good possibly...
Review: Okay, most of the reviews have already stated their opinion and said most of what could be said. Anyways, The Phantom Menace was decent. It had its flops with Jar Jar and all the politics, but this is an Episode 2 review so lets get on with it. After viewing multiple trailers. The one with the breathing and the one titled "Forbiden Love" Kind of brought the film down in my eyes. The Anakin with the Princess, was not my idea of a good Star Wars movie. All the other trailers were spectacular. There looks to be more Jedi Battles, and it looks to be like there will be a huge full scale war in a desert battle field which looks to have at least 12 light Jedi's fighting together, including Mace Windu. It seems to have a more mature story with Jar Jar out of it. Seems to be good, except for the romance. Which is why I give it a 3.5. (Yes, 3.5) I wished it was more along the lines of Anakins mother dieing, which would lead him to the Dark Side. Plus, I haven't even seen Anakin's mother in any of the previews. I really do hope that she's in the story.

Summary: The Chief's Response
Review: There have been few Perfect films made in the industry. Which is why I gave 4 stars. The truth of the matter is George Lucas, the man is arguably the greatest film maker and inovater in the industry.. George has intertained me for thirty years and I have not been disappointed once in all that time. I do crab about the time between releases of his films but never the planning in creating them. George gets the most from the resourses he has and that is why there is room for improvement in the rating. Mister Lucas I award you a BRAVO ZULU! Keepim Cranking. Chief "D"

Summary: How could it be bad? It's Star friggin Wars!
Review: I've seen the trailer for Episode II. Not much 'meat' to it, though; there were too many quick-cuts. I did see some pretty sweet lightsaber fights, a 'Blade Runner'-esque hover car scene, and, of course, the Battle of the Clones. Okay, I saw it on TV, and almost fell off the couch and drowned in my own saliva. This movie looks GREAT! ...

Summary: My thoughts on the upcoming Star Wars
Review: After so many negative reviews of Phantom Menace,Lucas decides to write a darker story.It's obvious Lucas is using the same formula as the original series,first movie was light,second dark,third light-dark.Lucas has a winning formula at that,as someone stated earlier,it balances out.As for Episode 1,I found the movie very entertaining... Anyway,the trailers looked awesome,the spoilers were awesome,and the screenshots owned.This movie will be something memorable and I only hope I can get opening day tickets.
