Hit and miss deal

Rating: 6/10 (23 June 2005)

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones gets the big 6 for me. While this movie was not good enough to be put up on the throne of excellence with the original Star Wars, I put this as a good popcorn flick. We have a good story but this film results in hits and misses. Big hits include Jengo Fett, Boba was my favorite character from the original trilogy and Jengo was a nice return to the Fett character, the battle with Mace Windu in the Colosseum, the battle with Yoda and Dooku... for a little guy that jedi could move, and the speed racer race between Anakin and Obi to find the evil female assassin through the city. Now here are the misses. I hated the love sequences between Padme and Anakin I nearly fell asleep, not enough Jengo Fett, not enough Mace Windu and his cool lightsabre, and it seems George Lucas wants to bore us to tears to enjoy this film. Sure he made a better movie than Phantom Menace but that's not saying much.I don't get why we don't see Dooku till the end. I liked the performance made by Christopher Lee as Dooku, only wishing there was more of him. With Star Wars- Attack of The Clones, you have to tell yourself that this is of the new trilogy. Chances are you would want to stick to the originals for real entertainment and watch this when you want to kill time.
