The worst thing ever made by a human.

Rating: 1/10 (7 June 2011)

At one point before watching this film you probably said "Well the Phantom Menace was awful, maybe this one will be better" but what you did not realize was how WRONG you were.
So I'm going to try and list everything that is wrong with this movie in a short response, though it will take some time because it almost involves everything in this movie.
This movie starts out with an assassination attempt on a senator. First off, why does she still have a decoy? She's not the Queen anymore, and why would anyone even want to assassinate Padme? So right off that bat we never learn this. Then comes the Jedi who are "investigating" her assignation attempt yet in this movie when Anakin escorts Padme to her home world, they do absolutely NOTHING to shelter themselves from an attack. They go out on romantic walks, play in the grass and so on, which makes it out like the assassination never meant anything.
Instead of having this big romantic setting, they could have at least had Anakin really protect Padme, let them go through 3 or 4 assassination attempts and from there she falls in love with him. That would have made more sense than nothing besides throwing them in the most romantic settings ever.
As for the love story, there really is nothing to it. It's just two attractive people in the most romantic settings. Anakin is not allowed to love because it's forbidden in the Jedi order, yet Padme cannot love because she's a senator? COME ON! She's not the Queen anymore! That don't make any sense (like the majority of things in the prequels) So the movie is called "The Attack of the Clones" yet the Clones are not even the main part of the movie. Actually I don't know what was the main story. We still don't have a main character or protagonist. Obi Wan investigates the assassination plot and ends up on a planet where they are making clones. Then the Jedi Council like complete idiots thinks the clones are connected to the assassinations attempts. WOW! Think outside the box for once! The Jedi are supposed to be wise right? As for the fake computer generated action scenes and characters including Yoda, this is where Lucas uses story to extend the use of special effects. George Lucas ruins everything that made Yoda so wise in the originals by having him fight with a light saber. This contradicts everything Yoda said in ESB. Yoda never taught Luke with a light saber, his whole message to Luke was that the Force was his strongest ally and the light saber didn't matter. Along with Yoda whipping out of a baby sized light saber, is just more of countless light saber fights between characters that mean nothing.
This one proved everything about the prequels trying to shove in as much junk as they could in every single frame. The original trilogy was a modern day collage of classic adventure, and the original trilogy also had much character development. For instance: Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. At first they don't really like each other, then they save each other a few times, and eventually bound together like true friends. Just like real people. Now compare that to the characters in AOTC. Padme and Anakin have nothing to devolve from in their romance while Han and Leia had grown feelings for each other over time.
This review can go on to a million things wrong with this movie, but to make it short watch Red Letter Media's review of Attack of the Clones if you need anything more that is wrong with these movies.
