A great film, and obviously, a must-see for Star Wars fans.

Rating: 10/10 (13 May 2002)

Attack of The Clones is a significantly better film than The Phantom Menace, and even the original 3, in many respects. George Lucas summed it up perfectly in 3 words: "The plot thickens." Everything you saw in Episode I (Jedi battles, new worlds, amazing creatures, grand armies, etc.) is magnified. The characters of Yoda, Mace Windu, PadmÃ©, Anakin and Obi-Wan are well-developed, and Jar Jar is only on screen 3 times. Cinematically it is technically superior and visually more interesting. There are still minor, noticeable difficulties with interaction between the actors and CGI characters. More specifically, when an actor is pictured touching or riding a CGI, and there is quite a lot of this. Suspension of disbelief comes easily. The CGI creatures in Episode II are the scariest yet, and may be a little much for the younger viewers. Nevertheless, this may be the best of the five movies, simply due to its overall importance to the story, the well-written script, and the technical achievement.
