Filled with cheesy dialogue, but still better than 'Phantom'.

Rating: 5/10 (21 October 2018)

Since I watched the original trilogy which is still awesome in every way I get why the fans mostly hate the prequels. But I am not a Star Wars fanatic, so therefore I do not get as angry about it.
I was thoroughly bored with The Phantom Menace and the introduction of Jar Jar Binks, and thank god he has much less screen time in this, but Hayden Christensen's performance as Anakin Skywalker is mediocre at best, partly because of the bad writing which George Lucas at least is aware of. The scenes of romance are so laughably bad, but at least much of it is taking place in pretty landscapes.
While the acting is mediocre, the action scenes are more frequent in Attack of the Clones, and they work very well if you ask me. An enjoyable addition seeing Yoda battling the menacing Count Dooku who was brought well to life by the magnificent Christopher Lee.
The final battle and the addition of Dooku are the most applaudable parts of an otherwise mediocre addition to the Star Wars universe.
