Massive Improvement on THE PHANTOM MENACE

Rating: 10/10 (21 April 2003)

THE PHANTOM MENACE (TPM) was brilliant, whether people personally disliked it or not. ATTACK OF THE CLONES (AOTC) is even better:-

This film is 'darker'

Characters are developed more

Anakin Skywalker has improved significantly (he's older, aggressive, and is a very skillful padawan)

There is a 2-way storyline (following Obi-Wan, and following Anakin and Padme), whereas TPM only had the 1 main storyline

Mace Windu shows why he is the 2nd 'baddest' guy in the galaxy

Yoda shows why he is the 'baddest' guy/thing in the galaxy

AOTC has an excellent side-character (Jango Fett)

The major battle scene in AOTC is a massive improvement to the battle scene in TPM

There are more Jedi!

Overall:- This is an excellent film from start to finish, and has furthered the storyline from TPM.
You can see events unfolding in front of your eyes that will lead up to A NEW HOPE. Now there is only one more episode to go, and the ending to this film leaves you 'itching' for Episode III to arrive.
