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

Rating:  - "Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones"
"Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" was presented at the Cinemark Theatre at the Hampshire Mall in Hadley,Massachusetts.I purchised my ticket a couple of weeks in advance and despite some of the negative reviews that I read,I was still eager to see this film.After leaving the theater,I realized that although it wasn't as good as the first three "Star Wars" films,but was just as good as "Star Wars:Episode I-The Phantom Menace",I was being entertained.I like watching movies that entertain me and this film did a good job at that.I like to point out that we are living in an age where computer technology seem to be an open doorway to the art of special effects."Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" is a great example of that.Some people question the idea of Yoda being recognized through CGI.After all,he began as a puppet in "The Empire Strikes Back"."Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" did prove to me that even the best ones have a downfall and even though I enjoyed this film,it seems to lack the same sort of storytelling that was evident throughout the first three "Star Wars" films,but that didn't bother me at all.Director George Lucas is in my opinion telling a story although some people might not see it."Star Wars","The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" were all about the end of the bad and the beginning of the new."Star Wars:Episode I-The Phantom Menace","Star Wars:Episode II-Attack of the Clones" and "Star Wars:Episode III" which will come out in Summer,2005 is more ...

Rating: - Better than Episode I...
But not as good as the third or the original trilogy. I bought it just to finish my SW DVD collection.
Rating:  - My son enjoys the series
I ordered episodes 1 thru 3 for my son. They all arrived before the promised arrival date and with no damages.
Rating: - There is no Beating the Beginning of the Clone Wars...
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
