Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Filled in some gaps I've spent hours in line waiting to see the various Star Wars franchise films. While "Clone Wars" filled in some gaps in the history, the film has several fatal flaws. The war's between the Republic and the Separatists. The Republic, led by Kenobi and Skywalker, are trying to rescue Republic forces trapped by the Separatist clone army. They are also trying to rescue Jabba the Hutt's kidnapped son to form an alliance with the Hutt Tribe. I enjoyed the characterization, particularly the introduction of a female Jedi Knight. Ahsoka (voiced by Ashley Eckstein) is the typical mismatched pair with Anakin (voiced by Matt Lanter). I've got a few major complaints. First, John Williams' music is gone. The opening narrative just wasn't in line with the pyramid shaped crawl the other films start with. Second, the CGI animation was stellar in places and dreadful in others. If they can make a spaceship look real enough to look like regular film in places, they can remove the jagged edges from the character's faces and give them more than molded hairstyles. Kenobi's beard looked more like an Egyptian carving. Finally, the clones weren't an enemy. They were more like a clown force. Their interaction made the whole story more or less pointless. On the other hand, the cartoon network show is great. That works, the movie just doesn't. Rebecca Kyle, December 2008 Rating:  - A whole new lookSome don't like this - we loved it (hubby and I). We're long time Star Wars geeks, and here, they finally get the stories right, interesting concepts, some fun, some action. It's a movie that is really just a set of battles in a war, and it's exactly what it should be - that is what the Clone Wars are. But what I really love is the new animation concept - computerized, but with hand drawn textures of all kinds, clouds in the backgrounds, the texture of skin, everything. This gives a very unique appearance to the movie. It's great fun, as is the entire series. Rating:  - George Lucas sells out in a galaxy far, far away (but, this time, in a less aggravating way)...Three and a half stars for this one. - 1st battle droid (during a heavy skirmish): "Concentrate fire on sector 11374265!" - 2nd battle droid: "One, one, three... seven... What was that again?" For a bit now, I've nursed a mad-on at George Lucas and his bungling of the Star Wars universe. But, in retrospect and after some years removed, the Star Wars prequel trilogy doesn't quite seem as awful as I thought (although Jar Jar Binks - grrrr!). Star Wars - Episode III, Revenge of the Sith (Widescreen Edition) went a long way to atoning for some of the sabotage done. Anyway, given that Lucas had already jumped the shark in a galaxy far, far away, I still wanted to approach STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS with a less prejudiced perspective, and this mindset pays off. Thanks to my super power of compartmentalizing, I actually had a good time watching this animated feature. Chronologically, STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS takes place between Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition) and EPISODE III: REVENGE OF THE SITH. It also sets the stage for the new STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS animated television series on the Cartoon Network. As the movie opens, the Republic is at war with the Separatists. Even as Obi-Wan Kenobi is charged with negotiating a safe passage treaty with the galactic crime lord, Jabba the Hutt, who controls the Outer Rim shipping routes, Anakin Skywalker and his new, enthusiastic Padawan learner, Ahsoka Tano, go on a mission to rescue ...

Episodes 4 - 6 practically re-invented the sci-fi genre, but then Episodes 1 - 3 took a serious downturn, due in no small part to the mis-casting of Hayden Christensen and also the violation of what you had set up in 4 - 6. George, what was the point of this film? Where in the timeline of the series does this movie fall? Why didn't we see Anakin's padawan in any of the live-action films? Why have plot and character been sacrificed at the altar of the aciton sequence? Granted, this is an animated movie, which usually means a kid's movie, and with their short attention spans, things have to be kept moving, but understand their parents are the same people who saw Episdoes 4 - 6 when they were kids themselves and are ruining it for them. You are ruining this once-great franchise, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP SCREWING WITH IT!!! Thank you. PS: May the Force be with you again, because you've certainly lost it. Rating: - Star Wars: The Clone WarsMost fans of the Star Wars movies will enjoy this animated filler that gives us some background information about what happened between Star Wars Episode II and III. The graphics won't impress you to the point you say, wow that's good, but they are decent enough that you shouldn't mind watching them. The storyline is also good enough to hold the interest of most people that liked the movies. Worth at least a rental. Good quality DVD with some replayability. If you enjoyed this catch "The Chronicles of Riddick: Dark Fury". CA Luster Browse for similar items by category:
