This movie is great! This movie is awful! Huh?

Rating: 10/10 (5 March 2003)

Well, well, well...Attack of the Clones...hmm. Okay. What to say. Let's start out with the bad.
1. The dialogue is simply prosaic and some lines were excruciatingly banal.
2. Hayden Christensen's performances was really weak. He's good in only the most vital scenes.
3. What 3?
The good.
1. The action was breathtakingly exciting and sets a bold new standard for sci-fi action epics to come. 2. The special effects were simply awesome. No, they weren't necessarily realistic, they were impressive in their sense of fantastical artificiality. 3. The supporting cast gave good performances and proved they could act at the challenge of oppostite blue screens and imaginary characters. 4. The story was filled with all the mystery, excitement, romance and lighthearted spectacle that made the first two Star Wars movies so appealing. 5. The direction and writing were actually fairly good. Lucas takes some chances in his directorial style (including in the battle sequences). 6. Less Jar Jar
Final verdict...4 out of 4 stars.
