Full of effort, empty of creation.

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2003)

It is incredible how the original three episodes had a clear and memorable story, one from which you could build, make up your own adventures or dream about. There is hardly any story in Attack of the clones to spark imagination. Maybe I expected too much, though I doubt it, cause Phantom Menace, trite as it was, pretty much took care of that. Maybe I am just pissed cause this continued drivel further trashes the memory of Star Wars I grew up with...
All the effects you can do amount to very little when they are self serving. Technically, this film is full of effort, beautiful visuals and effects... However, it is empty of creation. Effects seem to be on a showcase, while they should only be there to support and further the story. Maybe it is unfair to compare this to the original trilogy, but then again, it is supposed to be part of the same series...
