More like Attack of the Bad Acting, Atrocious Script, and the Terrible Director.

As terrible as the prequels are, I will admit that I can at least sit through "The Phantom Menace" and "Revenge of the Sith." But this movie is terrible. I'm talking about a movie that is filled with ps2 graphics, a forced romance subplot, cringe-worthy acting, bland characters, and a director that is so incompetent that he makes Michael Bay look Alfred Hitchcock.
Attack of the Clones, in my personal opinion, is the weakest entry in the "Star Wars" saga. The entire movie is just boring talk scene after boring talk scene, and over half of those scenes consist of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christianson) and Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) trying to build a relationship. By the way, Hayden and Natalie's chemistry is like Tatooine. It's dry. You can just tell that they get uncomfortable just by looking at each other. The characters in this movie suck, too. Almost everyone is an unlikable idiot. Anakin is a whiny, angst - ridden man-child with a passion for stalking Padme, his love interest. Padme is a one-dimensional character with the personality of sandpaper, and likes to remind the audience that she's a SENATOR. Wow. A senator! Politics! Yes, that is what I want in a "Star Wars" movie! POLITICS! Young Boba Fett (Daniel Logan) somehow manages to be more annoying than young Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd). In fact, Daniel had never even seen a "Star Wars" movie before he was casted as Boba Fett. Way to go, George Lucas. And then there's Jar Jar Binks. He returns in this awful sequel because, you know, everyone TOTALLY wanted Jar Jar in the sequel to Phantom Menace. He was such a cool character! We couldn't LIVE without Jar Jar! Just kidding, everyone hates this unfunny, annoying moron. Thankfully, he has nowhere NEAR the amount of screen time in "Phantom Menace." But he's still annoying during the scenes he is in. Do I really need to go on? Almost every character in this film is horrible. However, there are a few good things this film has to offer. The Battle on Geinosis is action-packed and adrenaline-pumping, the air speeder chase on Corusant is entertaining, the fight between Obi-Wan and Jango Fett is something I always enjoy viewing, and the closing light saber duel between Anakin, Obi Wan, Yoda, and Count Dooku is pretty good.
Speaking of Count Dooku, he's probably one of the best characters in the movie. Portrayed by Christopher Lee, Dooku reminds me of a James Bond villain. He's coldly polite and cunning, calm, and collected, but he's also very powerful with the dark side of the force, and is skilled with a light saber. When he fights Obi- Wan and Anakin, you can just tell that Dooku knows that he's in control of the battle, as evidenced by his evil smirk he has during the duel. Lucas gave Lee a script that's the equivalent to Internet fan-fiction, but Lee did a pretty good job with it. Ewan McGregor is still a convincing Obi-Wan during his prime, and can act to any awful script Lucas gives him. Ian Mcdarmind also does a good job, too. He makes the Chancellor someone you could trust. Any suspicions you had about him would be forgotten. He's like the devil; you're certain that he has evil intentions, but he so manipulative that you feel like you have to trust him. Finally, Attack of the Clones has an amazing soundtrack. John Williams has once again crafted an amazing score that you won't be forgetting anytime soon.
Unfortunately, the cons of this movie outweigh the pros. I can't recommend this movie to anybody, unless they're really,REALLY curious. If you're gonna get anything associated with Attack of the Clones, get the soundtrack. Overall, this is movie that fails not only as a Star Wars movie, but as a movie in general.
