Possibly my least favourite of the movies, could have been tighter if edited down a little but towards the end there are several essential scenes worth waiting for...

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Half of this film is some of the best live-action Star Wars material, ever. The other half... is the exact opposite. This is a film that fails horribly in almost everything it set out to do, and unequivocally succeeds in almost everything else. The action and visual design are fantastic. The worldbuilding... immaculate. Obi-Wan... great dude. The mystery aspect, while slightly improvable, is very well done. Here's the problem: Anakin, the main character, is so profoundly poorly written in this film that it legitimately worsens his entire arc as a character. He's a bit of a weird jerk, for one thing, and also... there's almost no foreshadowing or character development. (Except for the bit on Tatooine, which is fantastic and one of the best scenes in the series.) It literally made Episode III have to work twice as hard to develop his character, since this movie was so hyperfocused on telling a love story that was just as poorly written. Lucas could have easily woven in quality character development in there, but nooo... The closest we get to this is when Anakin and Padme are just gallivanting around, and then they randomly decide to sit down and Anakin declares he wants to start a dictatorship. And the dialogue in these scenes is just atrocious. I was fine with the dialogue style, until this... Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman get a bad rap here, though. Their acting isn't Oscar-winning or anything, but it's really the writing and dialogue that make these scenes so terrible. Acting is solid throughout the rest of the film, as well. More emphasis could also have been put on Count Dooku's character, as he's a legitimately compelling villain. The good overall outweighs the bad for me, though, and I still think it's a decent movie.
Overall, 6.5/10… Expand

"The Jedi are taking over"...Oh, wait not yet, Attack of the Clones is a better film than Episode I, focusing on the beginning of the war against the separatist and the Sith, who are extinct.

I would like to say something, from this movie I"The Jedi are taking over"...Oh, wait not yet, Attack of the Clones is a better film than Episode I, focusing on the beginning of the war against the separatist and the Sith, who are extinct.

I would like to say something, from this movie I noticed that the Jedi are incredibly lazy. Yoda can Sense that the future, Jedi and judgement of everything are clouded by the Dark side yet he does nothing.

Anyway.

Now is this a great Starwars Film? Hell yes.

It expands on the existing characters, and plots not to mention the FORCE of the music in this film. John Williams nailed all of the Themes. When you get to the Arena, it's magnificent.

Now about the Women and Children, ok like I mentioned in the Review for Episode I, the memes make the Prequels so enjoyable.

Ok but really, this film is really good, the way George was able to capture his writing and script and then make it memorable is insane. I'll tell you I can remember lines from this movie as clearly as day. To me that's what makes things really good, being able to create scenes that the audience can recognise and remember easily. George was on to something, maybe he didn't realise it but he definitely knew what he was doing.

So 8/10, it's better, it's bigger, and I mean it's bigger.
Compared to today's standards of Star Wars films this is leagues ahead of anything we've recently seen. Force Awakens, forget about it.
The Last Jedi, I laugh at it.
The Rise of Palpatine *cough, Skywalker, No, just no.

Next one, Have you heard the Review of Episode III?… Expand

Attack of the Clones has some memorable soundtrack.
That being said the dialogue is meme quality. If it were not for prequel memes and the soundtrack this would be lower. The story is ok to be honest.

The dialog is wooden at times but that helps the believability for me because They are supposed to be aliens and think differently than us. Also Anakin should be awkward because he is a slave boy with no positive role models in dating or communication. My favorite part is Shmi's death and the surrounding scenes. Love Genosis, first time I saw a truly massive war on a planet other than earth. Also Boba holding Jango's helmet after he dies is incredible.

I will admit the dialogue is weak and gets nowhere at times, the plot isn't as well thought out and felt convoluted at best, Haydn Christensen does give a truly abysmal performance as Anakin and although the presence of Jar Jar Binks was toned down here his presence anywhere seemed jarring. Still despite the major flaws, it is a marvel to look at with stunning sets and impeccable CGI. The battle sequences are well choreographed, the pace is somewhat brisker than in Phantom Menace and the performances with the exception of Christensen are very good.

Natalie Portman is quite captivating as Queen Padma, and displays a lot of emotional depth. Frank Oz is excellent as always as Yoda, and Ewen MacGregor is more at home here than he was in Phantom Menace. There is no doubt though that the acting honours go to Christopher Lee as the villainous Count Dooku. Then again, Lee is an exceptional actor who can act anything you throw at him. Plus John Williams' music was outstanding. Overall, a decent movie while the weakest of the Star Wars franchise. 6/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

After the disappointment that Star Wars Episode I was, I couldn't get myself to watch the second movie in the prequel trilogy. But the thing about Star Wars is that there is no way you can possibly hate the franchise no matter what it does.After the disappointment that Star Wars Episode I was, I couldn't get myself to watch the second movie in the prequel trilogy. But the thing about Star Wars is that there is no way you can possibly hate the franchise no matter what it does. Even if there's one bad movie there's still a new hope (ba dm tss!), that probably the next movie does fix some stuff. And I can tell you with a guarantee that Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones is definitely not that kind of a movie. And no, I'm not scared of some kid marking my review unhelpful who probably lives in the basement of his parents' house.

One problem that constantly plagues the Star Wars prequel trilogy is that most of the good stories happen while the camera is not on the characters. There is a scene where Kenobi and Anakin are in an elevator while going to save Padmé from an assassin and talking about their previous adventures. And trust me, all those adventures sound WAY more fun than what we are being made to watch. Most of the characters shown throughout the movie are there just for the sake of being there, without any amount of character development.

That's not to say I absolutely dislike this movie. I really like the whole Jango Fett arc. It was one of the most memorable parts of the movie. There was also the colosseum fight which wasn't good but at least it was memorable. Also the part where C3PO accidentally falls on the assembly line and gets his head replaced by another robot. Other than that most scenes are easily forgettable, not as in I have forgotten they ever happened, but rather I have forgotten whether they happened in Episode II or III. I had to look up the scene I wrote in the above paragraph to make sure it happened in this movie.

The CGI, once again is terrible. I don't know what's the problem with the cinematography of this movie. It makes it look so boring. And of course, here's the movie where Anakin and Padmé start getting, well. I don't know what's with Star Wars movies and accidental incest. I get it's supposed to be a space opera, but this goes a little too far. Also the acting is super campy. One person will finish the dialogue, then the next person will speak. And I think it's a good thing because of how high the background music is. If two people start speaking together it will become impossible to hear altogether.

I had said that I'd try giving another watch to Star Wars: Episode I, which is hard because of how cringy Jar-Jar Binks. But here it's hard because only the Jango Fett scene was fun. This is, in my opinion, the worst Star Wars movie made by George Lucas. Trust me when I say I get no joy from saying all of this. I still had the courage to watch the franchise further, and I'm really glad I did since Revenge of the Sith really redeemed the trilogy for me.… Expand

Liam Neeson is missed, with the likes of Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen and Christopher Lee failing to set the world alight. McGregor does give the best performance of that quartet; Christensen possibly the weakest, though his character's story is probably the most interesting - or its overall arc, at least.

Those onscreen aren't helped by the dialogue, which is very basic and run-of-the-mill. I found the score a little forgettable, even if it's still fun to hear the key pieces of it. The plot is watchable, but I did expect greater storytelling from these two follow-up releases to the original trilogy. The CGI is, marginally, an improvement on this film's predecessor.… Expand

Despite the use of Samuel L Jackson, this is the 2nd worst Star Wars film made, to date. There's a galactic war going on, and instead of showing that, we get frolicking?

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Episode II starts off a bit slow. There's only one major action scene in the first hour, Anakin and Obi Wan chasing the assassin. I wasn't particularly excited about that scene. It was ok. I'm sure 20 years ago it would have seemed much more impressive. But now it's 2021 and I've seen a lot of impressive chase scenes. It still holds up, though. It's not the fault of the movie. So after around an hour, we get a pretty cool action scene where Obi Wan and the bounty hunter are fighting. That was nice.

I had a big problem with the scene when Anakin's mother dies and the scenes that follow up. So, Anakin finds his mother, she was severely tortured and wounded, she tries to tell him she loves him, but she's too weak and on the verge of death. Anakin tells her to stay with him. So far it's very emotional and effective. I'm really sad. Anakin is sad. She eventually dies, then the music gets louder, we see Anakin's face, he's very, very angry. I am also angry. We hear the lightsaber turn on, then he strikes down two sand people. Another sand person charges toward him and he strikes him down, too, it's very intense, and then... the tension dies down a bit. Then Yoda tells us about the anger and suffering Anakin is feeling. Um, ok. And then we see the massacre, right? Nope. We get a random scene from another plotpoint. WHAT THE **** That completely ruined all the build-up. It destroyed all the tension and the emotion. I can't believe they did that. Why did they do that? Then we get the scene with him coming back at the house carrying his mother's corpse. We see and feel his anger. Then there is the scene where he's talking with Padme. He cries because he believes it's his fault. He thinks that if he were stronger, he could have saved her. Again, it's effective and emotional. But I really wish we saw the massacre. And no, I'm not some psycho who wants to see sand children get murdered. But show us SOMETHING. At least show us how he's destroying their sand igloos with the Force push ability or something. Show us how Anakin reacts and how he unleashes his powers on the sand people. Shows us more than two ****ing seconds. This paragraph was more of a rant than a review.

So we get about two action scenes in one hour and a half. That's pretty bad. Then we finally get an action scene at the droid factory. Then we get the epic action scene at the end with a lot of fighting. That was satisfying. Anakin dual-wielding lightsabers to fight count Dooku was very badass. And Anakin getting his arm cut was shocking. The internet had spoiled that scene for me (among many other), but I totally forgot about it. Episode II has a bit of a pacing issue. There's barely any action in the first half. And I really hated that they messed up the Anakin rampage scene. But other than that, I did feel emotion. As I said, the scenes were effective. I loved the huge action sequence at end. All in all, I think compared to Episode I, Episode II has higher and lower points, while Episode I is more consistent and moderate. Episode I was a more enjoyable experience for me.… Expand

Then Jango Fett hires another random bounty hunter to kill her. The the bounty hunter gets a droid to kill her, and if you want to be extreme, the droid gets bugs to kill her. Another example, Obi-Wan knows the clones are modeled after Jango Fett, and he knows Jango Fett is evil and working with Dooku, but he never thinks twice about the clones being evil. I don’t even need to talk about the romance scenes, everybody knows how bad they are. Overall this movie is a hard to watch embarrassment.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, I agree with the critics about like the love story between Padme and Anakin, the plot in this parth is awaful and i must stand out the Hayden Christensen´s Script is bad, here George Lucas commited an error, theremore it is almost 1 hour the movie, the only dialog that it is effective, it is just Padme and Anakin enter in the Geonosis Arena.

But this parth bad, not cloud all the good aspects that the movie has.

-At first very good, kind of crime film with pieces of Blade Runner.
-The world: Better than the episode I (Kamino,Geonosis, Coruscant, Tatooine, Nabboo...)
-Characters: Dooku,Yoda,Obi Wan, Mice Windu, Jango Fett...
-Politics and War: Geonosis battle follows entertain me like the first time.

Conclusion:
It is a little worse than the episode I, but Episode II is a good movie too.… Expand

Dificilmente um filme me deixa com sono, mas esse aqui se esforçou e muito. Pra um filme com foto no publico infantil e adolescente, foca-se muito em assuntos políticos mal desenvolvidos, que são principalmente péssimas pois essas discussões muitas vezes integram personagens desinteressantes, o que torna o filme arrastado. O desenvolvimento do Anakin soou forçado e exagerado, assim como seu romance com a princesa. As cenas de ação padecem de criatividade - CGI atirando no nada não conta. As baralhas Jedi não foram de todo mal, mas não chamam tanta atenção quanto no filme anterior.

Enfim, cada vez mais Star Wars parece overrated.

Geek_In_RedJun 8, 2020

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. George makes many attempts to stretch the film out. The film isn’t that bad apart from this point. Examples of this are shown in the Bounty Hunter chase. It’s dumb that a bounty hunter hired another bounty hunter to send a droid to send centipedes to kill Padme. I’d be lying If I said it wasn’t fun to watch but when you think about the chase deep down you begin to resent it for wasting time. The most obnoxious example of George Lucas stretching the movie is Padme and Anakin. The fireside subduction scene on Naboo emphasizes Anakin’s anger and disagreement with the Jedi code, highlighting the main reasons for his descent into the dark side while simultaneously explaining what is wrong about his love for Padme. The scene is great until you combine it with the other Naboo romance scenes between him and Padme. After the application of the other Naboo romance scenes, the fireside subduction scene is perfect. If the movie were to slightly hint about their feelings in normal scenes, cut out the Naboo romance scenes, and only keep the fireside subduction scene and everything after it, the romance between Anakin and Padme wouldn’t have contributed to the decline of the film’s quality.
Despite being longer than it should’ve, the film is miles better than the Phantom Menace. The film is actually enjoyable to watch and has an understandable plot. The film becomes even better starting with the fireside subduction scene with awesome fights, emotional performances, and even more exciting moments.
One of the greatest moments in the prequels in their entirety is when Anakin exacts revenge on the Tusken raiders. This scene shows Anakin giving in to his rage and murdering his mother’s murderers as his mother dies in his arms. This scene is the turn, the point when Anakin experiences a negative character change. It’s a shame because this scene shows that the Darth Vader we know is evil because he cares. He’s evil because he’s human. The scene gives the most about the history of Darth Vader we need to know and it fleshes Darth Vader out as a character by letting us empathize with the galactic tyrant that is himself. The scene is even better when accompanied by the change in the film’s score and cut to Yoda’s vision of the Tuskan raider’s screams. The scene is also better when accompanied by the fact that the scene after it has the most superior dialogue of episodes 1 and 2. Shmi Skywalker’s death is one of the greatest things to come from the prequels.
The attack of the clones could be better. But It could’ve been worse, way worse. It's great that the film learns from most of the mistakes of the last.… Expand

The only character I think which is enjoyable throughout this movie is Obi Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) he's got some memorable quotes but not as memorable as this movie. The fight scenes aren't really that fun and engaging as they've previously been in the other Star Wars Movie's and the only fight scene which sort of felt fun was near the end with Yoda and Count Dooku (Christopher Lee) but apart from that there isn't that much I enjoyed about this movie and the only things I sort of enjoyed about this movie would have to be about Anakins mother and some of scenes with Dex in and he's hardly in it lol. Finally, the dialogue with Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) can be seen as quite cringey throughout this movie and it's not his fault, it's the direction which George Lucas wanted this movie to be in. Overall, it's not my favourite Star Wars movie, far from it.

Also, I forgot to mention, why did they reuse the duel of fates theme when Anakin is going to slay a bunch of Tusken Raiders, it doesn't really work that well.… Expand
