A little better than Phantom

Rating: 6/10 (26 May 2002)

When The Phantom Menace originally came out in 1999, unlike a lot of people, I liked the movie. Overall I was entertained, despite the constant annoyance of Jar Jar Binks. Now Attack of the Clones has come out and it's a little better than The Phantom Menace, but still a galaxy far far away from the original two in the series.
First what I didn't like. Too much dialoge. They just talked and talked through a lot of the earlier parts of the movie and it was not always entertaining. The first action scene of the movie I also was not that high about, it lacks total plausability. The worst part of the movie in my mind was definetly the love story. We see the two stare at eachother and say cheesy lines and I was totally disinterested.
Now what I did like. To put it simply the last 45 minutes of the movie are spectacular. The special effects in the movie are increadable and the three last action scenes demonstrate that perfectly. A number of times I found myself just in awe in amazement. This movie ends strong, and that had a big impact on me. I can't discount many of it's flaws during the earlier parts of the movie. It could been much more. Ending strong as it did I give it a 7 out of 10.
