Now it's time for me to review Star Wars Ep. II Attack of the Clones. It originally came out back in 2002...wow it has been almost 10 years already! Okay here's the review.
What I Like: The opening scene was intersting, i mean an explosion right off the bat...that makes it interesting. I love the fact that this movie is kind of like a mystery movie for its majority. This makes you wonder just what is going to happen next. Teenage Anakin is a likeable character, as he gives Obi Wan some drama here and there. You also have the introduction of some new villains: Jango Fett and Count Dooku. You also have a big battle scene at the end that just seems to outdo the tension of the ending of Phantom Menace.
Didn't Like: Some of the same things that plague PH plague this one. The dialogue isnt all that. The movie's pace is very slow....and the love scenes between Padme and Anakin are kind of boring. Other than that its a good film.
Overall this is a step above Phantom Menace. We witness the death of Anakin's mother....which seems to start his descent into the darkside. THe special effects are awesome. At the end you get to see Mace WIndu and a whole bunch of other jedi fight. Also by the movie's conclusion your wondering just how this Clone War will lead to the fall of galactic democracy and the eventual rise of the Empire.
Rating 7.5/10
