A watchable movie in the first two acts; A great one in the third act

Rating: 6/10 (26 August 2019)

The second part of the prequels trilogy of Star Wars looked to me, in the first two acts, as a boring movie, but not THAT boring. The romance between Anakin and Padmé was not well written by George Lucas, who's not helped that much delivering some bad dialogues, as the classic "I don't like sand", and the acting of Hayden makes it everything worse, but it's not his fault, looks hard to act out from the dialogues he have. The plot of Kenobi tracking down Jango Fett is okay, nothing special, nothing really that interesting, the designs of Kamino and Geonosis are... meh, but the character of Jango Fett is fine and that's all. The real magic happens in the third act. Count Dooku, who Christopher Lee plays perfectly, the return of the Trade Federation, and the plans of the Separatists are revelead then. The Battle of Geonosis is great, and I don't really minded at all the outdated CGI, but what really made it everything even better was the battle of Count Dooku vs Kenobi and Anakin, and later on Dooku vs Yoda. Really liked how the Force was used, the coreography, it was great from the beginning to the end. And the plot twist, if this is the right term, was great, but not that surprising. Attack of the Clones is a good movie, but reafirms the fact that the original trilogy is better, as we are close to the end and the two movies that passed was just okay.
