Stop your moaning!!

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2002)

To listen to some peoples comments about this film you'd think that the original trilogy was an untouchable masterpiece that makes "Attack of the Clones" look like a pathetic wannabe piece of film making, that tries and fails to recapture the original buzz that the originals created.
Well your all-very, very wrong!! When STAR WARS was released in 1977 it was never hailed as a masterpiece of film making genius but a shambled second rate B-movie effort with ridiculous dialogue and a few fancy special effects. Do those lines sound familiar to you people who slam "Attack of the Clones" on exactly the same basis? You moan about the cheesy dialogue, the plot whole's and inconsistent acting as if it's something new, when you are completely missing the point.
STAR WARS was never meant to be a flawless masterpiece but rather a flawed yet beautiful gem, and that's exactly what "Attack of the Clones" is!! Delivering all the sentimental action packed fun of the original trilogy and at the same time adding a new perspective for our viewing pleasures. Anakin's inner conflict with the dark side makes for an interesting perspective that adds to the original trilogy. Who would of thought that anybody could identify with Darth Vader, but we do, we even feel sorry for him and by the end of the film he becomes our hero.
This is (no matter what any wannabe critic says) a good film. It's STAR WARS through and through because just like the glorious originals its spectacular and explosive, nostalgic yet exciting and it can be silly and cheesy yet strangely moving. This is what STAR WARS is suppose to be so if you don't like it then go watch Star Trek!
