The Worst Star Wars Movie

Rating: 3/10 (13 May 2007)

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002)
Review: So the Phantom Menace was lackluster, but okay. Here is the second Episode and it happens to be the worst. Here's my take:
AOTC is bad for many reasons. The criticism is there and I understand, but let me explain. First off, AOTC is not compelling. The story does progress, but lacks depth. We hardly see Jar-Jar, but we instead are replaced with some really bad acting. Here, the acting is nothing but cardboard cutouts of the actors. Hayden had no passion or conviction at all and McGregor seemed lost and dull.
I never understood the love story either. I think I know why he fell for her, but what did she see in him? He seemed cold and angry and was not too charming. There isn't much to say about the action either. The only time the action is good is when Yoda shows up. Yoda upstages everyone in a very short time with no effort.
Th FX are not as good here and that is saying something. Some delights are here, but not as much as I wanted. Samuel L. Jackson is here, but even he seemed bored and dull.
Disappointment is the key. AOTC is just too bad.
The Last Word: Episode 2: Worst one. This is for the fans ONLY. Anyone else avoid NOW!
