If The Phantom Menace was the setup, then Attack of the Clones is the plot-progressing payoff, and devoted Star Wars fans are sure to be enthralled. Ten years after Episode I, Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), now a senator, resists the creation of a Republic Army to combat an evil separatist movement. The brooding Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is resentful of his stern Jedi mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), tormented by personal loss, and showing his emerging 'dark side' while protecting his new love, Amidala, from would-be assassins. Youthful romance and solemn portent foreshadow the events of the original Star Wars as Count Dooku (a.k.a. Darth Tyranus, played by Christopher Lee) forges an alliance with the Dark Lord of the Sith, while lavish set pieces showcase George Lucas's supreme command of all-digital filmmaking. All of this makes Episode II a technological milestone, savaged by some critics as a bloated, storyless spectacle, but still qualifying as a fan-approved precursor to the pivotal events of Episode III. --Jeff Shannon

I've Waited long Enough, heard enough Criticism taken enough Star Wars and George Lucas Bashing. It is August of 2008 as I write this. Star Wars Is and always has been a Cultural Phenomenon. Why has the Original Trilogy Flourished, while the Prequels have been treated less then kind to. First off Episodes I-III are The story of Anakin Skywalker. Not the back story of the Exploits of Darth Vader. We have to know the Man before we Know the Monster. Episode II is how Anakin and Padme fall in Love and the fall af the Republic into Civil War. I Thought it was a Terrific Movie. Hayden C. Can act, He is a Good (Young-Future) Vader. Natalie Portman is Perfect as the Mother of Luke and Leia. And Ewan Mcgregor is Without a doubt the perfect young Obi-Wan Kenobi. Yoda in action. Jango Fett, Young Boba Fett. The Origin of the Clones. THE JEDI IN ACTION!!!!!
as Star Wars fans We have been waiting A LONG TIME for this. It is happening in this movie. PLus we are Treated to the Start of the Clone Wars. The Battles are Unbelievable. What More do people want. So what, we have a Love story going on. Anakin and Padme are Supposed to Fall in Love!!!! They Sire Luke and Leia Don't Forget.
In My Opinion the reason the Prequels weren't as big as the Originals, I hear a Million and one reasons. The reason is clear. The Originals came out They Blew everyone away. No one EVER saw anything like that before. Since then there have been so many movies to come out with so many advances and action, ... Read More
Rating:  - Attacking the Legacy
After the overwhelmingly disappointing presentation that was "The Phantom Menace", we Star Wars fans were sure that our benefactor, the wise and creative George Lucas, had simply been dealing with a very large and lengthy brain fart that had caused some of his more questionable choices regarding what was to be the prequel to end all prequels; we were also sure that by ascending the director's chair again, he would be righting the wrongs of the first (or fourth) film and making us feel proud to be sci-fi junkies again.
However, to put it plainly, "Attack of the Clones" rights a few of it predecessor's wrongs only to replace them with faults just as great as those of the past. While the sequel is a maginally better attempt (I'd give it a 3.5 if I could), that's all that it remains: an attempt at replicating the original trilogy's greatness.
Taking place a decade after "Phantom Menace", the plot finds ex-queen and current Naboo senator Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) the target of an assassination attempt led by a separatist movement stirring in the Galactic Senate. Sent to protect her from further attacks are Jedi Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) and his maturing apprentice Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), who has not relented his attraction towards the beautiful politician since the last movie. Upon the finding of a clue regarding Amidala's would-be assassin, the two Jedi part ways, with Kenobi tracking a bounty hunter and Skywalker escorting the senator into hiding on her ... Read More

Firstly, a word to the admirably persistent complainers--you've been at it for how many years now? All you do is whine and moan; whine and moan; whine and moan. If you must keep whining and moaning, the least you can do is whine and moan some alternatives; sincere, honest,and RATIONAL suggestions about what you would have done with these films, and what you think George Lucas should have done, to make them better. One of my cardinal rules is: don't complain that something's broken if you don't have any idea how to fix it yourself; it really impacts the validity of your review, and its usefulness, if you complain that something is wrong, but do not explain how you feel it should have been done. It removes a level of depth and believability from your words when all you are apparently doing is complaining and ranting that the picture went horribly wrong (and ruined your childhood memories, depending on who you are), and not showing any signs of having an intelligent and logical perspective on how the films should have been done.
While I am at it, here are a few other points to consider:
A) If the Pod Race from Ep. 1 was purely designed to sell a video game, then so was the scene in 'New Hope' where Luke, in his X-wing during his first desperate battle as part of the Rebel Alliance, charges down an exterior trench on the Death Star to find the area that, if fired on, will result in the destruction of the Empire's lethal space station. So is the speeder bike sequence from 'Jedi.' Remember ... Read More
Rating:  - What WAS Lucas thinking???
The Clone Wars rewrite.
I originally did a very snarky original review.
I have decided to redo this one.
Hopefully this will clarify things.
When The Clone Wars came out I wasn't exactly looking forward to it.
Why?
Darth Maul is the main reason.
I know, I know, everyone says......get over it.
Nope, not going to happen.
When The Phantom Menace came out, Maul was HEAVILY publicized.
You couldn't go anywhere without seeing his red and black mug everywhere.
The books, the magazine covers, etc..........
All of my excitement over the new trilogy was, like many other people centered on Maul.
I was looking forward to the best super villain since Vader being in all three movies.
Needless to say he gets killed at the end of Menace and I felt like a rug had been cruelly yanked right out from under me.
How could Lucas hype one character so much then give him practically no lines, no screen time and then kill him at the end?
Another tragic waste of what could have been and should have been a central character.
So with a chip on my shoulder I went in the theater completely expecting to hate this movie.
I did.
I had heard early rumors about Hayden's acting and all I could do was wince during some of his emotional scenes.
The scene where his mom dies, the scenes with Padme.
I don't think it's fair to put all the blame on Hayden or Portman.
Their ok actors, I blame Lucas for ... Read More
