Great movie, but still not up to par in my opinion.

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

George Lucas is a creative genius. He has the incredible ability to visualize and animate a whole other universe and place one of the most compelling stories of all time into that breathtaking setting. What Lucas is not as skilled at, however, is writing. This movie suffered from one of the same problems that plagued "Phantom Menace", lack of a script that does justice to Lucas' imaginative fluency. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed "Attack of the Clones," very much and place it third on the list of the best Star Wars films with "Empire" and the origional 1977 film ahead just because of the strength of the story and it's visual effects. But if Lucas could find someone to write a script that incorporated a witty, sharp diologue that featured a less blatent, robotic, cliche filled, romantic relationship such as in "Attack" (a-la Han and Leia in "Empire") this film and episode 3 would benefit greatly.
