Attack of the Bad Lines and Plot Holes

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2002)

I am shocked at the number of people who say they LOVED this movie so much when there were big plot holes and really cheesy badly timed lines! I liked some of the action in this movie, but for me it was mostly disappointing. First off, the name alone "Attack of the Clones". How is it an attack when it was a rescue mission for the good guys?! I just don't get it!
Artoo has anti-gravity boosters? Where the heck were these in A New Hope, Empire, or Jedi?
What was the deal with Padme saying no over and over to Anakin's advances the whole movie (while all the while wearing sexy outfits like the black corset), then near the end she was like "I love you I always have"?

If Owen Lars lived with Threepio, then why doesn't either of them remember each other in A New Hope?
And what was the deal with the bad lines?! The actors did the best they could with the lines, but come on! The scene where Anakin is using the force to guide the fruit to Padme. Something like "If Obi-Wan saw me doing this he would be very grumpy." Grumpy??!! I don't ever want to hear the future Darth Vader use the word Grumpy!
The light saber fight scenes. Too dark, too short, couldn't tell who was hitting what, the up close face shots while fighting of Anakin and Dooku were the worst part. The other scenes were quick and you could barely see anything!!!! Doesn't hold a candle to the Obi-Wan/Maul fight scene in the previous movie. You could actually see what was happening on that one. And even in that movie they kept switching from scene to scene too often in the middle of the fight!
And maybe I'm way off here, but what is the deal with Dooku and Sidious in on this plot together, yet they have their respective armies fight it out! "Everything is going as planned" Dooku says. What kind of plan is this? Hey friend lets have our armies blow the crap out of each other just to trick some people! And that name, Dooku, I don't even want to start!

So let me get this straight. Dooku tells Obi-Wan that the Republic is controlled by a Sith Lord. He even tells Obi-Wan his alter ego name (Sidious)! Obi-Wan tells Yoda what Dooku said and then Yoda says basically "Oh...We'll just keep an eye on the Senate." What?! And why would Dooku say that anyway? Why bust on your boss man like that?
Pit scene, all hell breaking loose, very serious feeling, could get hit with a laser bolt any second, Jedi are getting shot right and left. And Padme and Anakin joke about "aggressive negotiations"? Annoying!!!
Do light sabers have a quiet mode? The scene where Anakin cuts thru a Tusken raider hut wall and the light saber makes almost no sound. Whenever I've seen a light saber fire up any other time in this series its been LOUD. BZZZZRRRRRRRRR!!!
The droid factory scene where Anakin gets his hand stamped with metal. Uh, wouldn't that metal plate crush his hand? That must have been some soft metal! Then another machine takes the plate back off! So an assembly and disassembly line all in one huh? Nice.
I could go on, but I wish someone would account for some of these. I liked all the other movies, and I will see the next one, I read from this site that James Earl Jones will be doing the voice in Episode III, which means we will get to see Anakin's full transformation into the suit!! But this movie was bad for me, plain and simple. I want to say I liked some of it but the aforementioned holes and bad dialogue pretty much ruined any good in it for me. Am I the only one that noticed this stuff?!
