alcantaraj-16594 I thought "The Phantom Menace" was bad. This was worse.

gypsyhansolothepolishpavlova In the year 1977 , George Lucas wrote and created a film he expected to be hated and criticized and over all made fun of. That movie was Star Wars. And , as you know , everyone loved that movie. So in 1980 he wanted to create a sequel that lived up to of the first one , and he tried but he was once again worried that people would hate it. That movie was The Empire Strikes Back , which is considerded to be one of ( if not , THE ) greatest sequels of all time. So in 1999 , George Lucas tried to create a new trilogy , aprequel trilogy. Only this time , he thought everyone would love his new movie. That movie was the Phantom Menace. And now , just like how the Empire Strikes Back was better than the first one , Attack of the Clones is worse than the first one. Be it it's crappy CGI , horrible acting , cringe worthy and creepy love scenes , or the fact that they gave Christopher frickin' Lee a name that rhymes with Doodoo , this si easily the worst Star Wars movie to date. Anakin's turn to the dark side was meant to be a series of slow , engaging , subverted and incredibly acted scenes that woud bring justice to the character's awesomeness. But instead they gave him a cringey ( and some what creepy ) pubescent murder spree , all the while his crying looks worse than Tobey Maguire's.Over all , this movie is a bad CGI waste of time , and so are 2/3 of the Prequels , so i would much rather recommend watching Belated Media's video on " What if the Prequels we're good? ' to fill your Star Wars prequel craving void.Also did i mention they gave Yoda a lightsaber?!?!?!? What the hell was up with that?

bombersflyup Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones is a very eventful, up and down mess of a film, but still of quality.It feels like too much is trying to be crammed in and lacking the little moments. They could of easily taken out the long machine factory scene, which added nothing. The first half of the film is much better than the second, lots of droids and Jedis is not a good combo. It's not that the acting is bad, it's just that these characters all seem pretty frustrated. Obi-Wan in part drives Anakin to his demise with his constant pestering and belittling, just let him do his thing goddammit. There is also so much wasted acting talent here, with Samuel L Jackson in a dud role and Jimmy Smits in the backdrop and Rose Byrne with like one line. The romance seems forced from Padme's side, she didn't fall in love with him after just seeing him while he is angry all the time and the last time she saw him he was a kid. The highlight for me is Obi-Wan's discovery of the planet Kamino and the battle with Jango Fett. A much flawed film yes, but a quality one also.

priceturner While the first film was a disappointment at least it was a little fun. This film tries to be more serious in tone, but comes across as boring and dull. The first and last acts are a lot of fun and action packed, but the middle drags and feels longer than it actually is. McGregor, Jackson, Oz, Morrison, and Lee are the best performers in the film, the effects are good but feel more dated even compared to the first film. Christiansen is really disappointing as Anakin, sometimes he feels like he's doing a good job the rest, well let's just say he doesn't like sand. Portman feels like she's phoning it in but is still being professional about it. All in all the film is a lot like Episode I, it has its moments but overall underwhelming.
