What the critics are really thinking but are too afraid to say...

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

Episode II, Attack of the Clones, brings to the table all the resolution needed to long unanswered questions. Mr. Lucas does the unthinkable once again by using the most advanced technology available in order to bring to life a screenplay 30 sum odd years in the making.
The film is a shining example of creativity, writing, production, and editing.
Sadly, there are those 'Fans', who expect the impossible. Fans who want a 30 year old film to have no similarities to movies done in the last decade or so. Ones who feel that Mr. Lucas owes them something, even though he sacrifices years of family life in order to bring to those devoted skeptics media bordering on greatness.
Shame on you all for giving the Lucas Arts production company the impression they did good work by forking out the millions of movie dollars grossed by Phantom Menace and now Clones. Those people who have the need to compare, criticize and critique should look deep into their bank accounts for the missing sense of reality.
You loved the movie, and when it comes out on DVD you will clear the shelves to own a lil slice of movie history. To those who would scrutinize Attack of the Clones as a poorly put together movie, need to give up the profession of Star Wars fanatic, and go back to being Trekkers. In short, we are obviously true believers that George Lucas will take his story to its fruition.
That he will show to us all why in his mind Darth Vader is feared throughout the universe, why there are so few Jedi left in Episode IV, and how a glorious republic disintegrated into a struggling rebellion trying to survive against an omnipotent empire.
This is movie making at its finest, no matter what the critics say, THEY LOVED IT TOO!
