Star Wars: Episode 11-Attack of the Clones

Rating: 1/10 (11 June 2007)

Good grief,Charlie Brown! Where do we begin? Let's get this straight from the beginning. I am a huge Star Wars fan. I have been one since the first one came out in 1977. I remember it well. I was 8 months pregnant. My husband was looking for a new job. It was his birthday. We could just about afford the matinée price for the two of us and for an a little less than two hours,we were entertained and trouble-free. It was a marvelous full-bodied movie. The second and third movies in the then trilogy proved to be just as entertaining. Who can forget Jabba the Hutt? Or the famous bar scene? So many imitators have paid homage in the past 30 years. Some fondly,some badly. THIS movie would have to fall in the very badly category. Note to whomever mucked up this( these) sequels: Special effects can no longer carry a movie . You still need a decent script,interesting characters,lines that make sense,and (now here's the big one) ACTORS WHO WEREN'T PICKED FOR LOOKS ALONE! I refer of course to Anikin and Padme. No spoiler from me as to what happens. I couldn't care less. Teenage angst and hormones - give me a break. Buffy the Vampire Slayer delivered it better each and every week in 45 minutes between Spike and Buffy and and Buffy and Angel. This is mindless crap.
