The Most Boring of Them All

Rating: 6/10 (15 January 2012)

The Attack of the Clones continues the story with teenage Anakin starting to discover his darker side, while unknown powers continue to threaten the Republic and a mysterious Clone Army is discovered from a distant system. Although the film is very rich in content, it somehow manages to become boring.
This was an even bigger letdown than Episode I. Much happened and it was very important considering the future events, but somehow it all fell flat. When the movie ended I thought nothing important happened in it, but when I thought back on it, I realized it was important to the storyline. Why did it become boring? When I think about the film, the first that comes to mind is the tiresome romantic scenes between Anakin and Padmé. They didn't get to me at all and bored me out. I think it should have concentrated a bit more with Anakins inner struggle like Episode III. Plus it made important events such as finding the army of clones and the pursuit for the Sith Lord seem like minor subplots.
Overall it is an important piece in the puzzle, but I think has no rewatching value.
