Attack of the Clones is ... ok

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2020)

Episode II is just ok. It is not Empire Strikes Back, but it is not The Last Jedi either, in my own opinion. The reason I rated The Last Jedi so low is mostly because of how the movie portrayed Luke Skywalker, but I digress... Attack of the Clones is middle of the road here.
The CGI in this movie is not good, and the dialogue is especially terrible between Anakin and Padme. Their romance is too cheeky, and kind of awkward to watch at times. Anakin is also over the top whiny, but I suppose that goes with the development of his character as he inches closer to the Dark Side.
The saving point of this movie is the fact that it does a great job pacing and developing Anakin while showing why and how he becomes Vader. Count Dooku is introduced in this movie too, but I wish we got to see a little more out of him. The final showdown is a neat battle as well.
While this is not a great movie by any means it is definitely the worst of the prequel trilogy. Episode II is a 5/10 for me.
