Star Bores

Rating: 3/10 (26 January 2015)

From the mediocrity of The Phantom Menace came Attack of the Clones after hearing that it would feature the long awaited Clone Wars talked about in the original got me excited and especially when I thought how could they make another bad star wars? Well this surprised it had me stumped at how bad it was. Easily my most hated of the franchise.
But why is it such a disaster? Because the relationship between Padme and Anakin is executed poorly and isn't believable. Also nothing happens for a good majority of this movie as the two supposed couples don't do anything much different to Han and Leia's relationship that is not only witty but the events that take place also make it interesting and action packed.
The acting is horrible except for maybe Ewan Mcgregor (Obi Wan Kenobi) and Ian McDiarmid (Palpatine) who I though had good performances respectively. Apart from a small duel at the beginning with an assassin, with Jango Fett on Kamino and the end with the battle of Geonosis and bad ass Yoda this film offered little up in terms of what it should have delivered. It's slow, boring and we don't see enough of the Clone Wars which is what many anticipated from the title which also doesn't make sense where it may as well be called "Attack of the Good Guys" which makes sense to who exactly?
