great...or not?

Rating: Null/10 (14 May 2002)

at first glimpse, attack of the clones seems like a mixture of bad acting, confusing plot, WAY WAY cheesy lines, and pretty darn good CGI. After the phantom menace fiasco, I wasn't sure what to expect on Episode II.
After seeing the film, I must say...the second half is much better than the first half. Perhaps its just because im a big star wars geek that this movie didn't disappoint me, infact me just rekindled my obsession and fascination with the entire universe. I'm sure I'm biased but the movie tells a lot of what happened before the original trilogy. That you discover how characters came to be, who they were before, the underlying plots that would lead up to the classic movies we all love and know so well. That is what really hooked me in. Not the really awesome CGI scenes (YODA KICKS ASS!!!!), but the fact that the love affair of anakin and amidala are just doomed because you know that he's going to turn into Vader. That tradegy that just makes you want to find out what happens next. Anakin is really whiny at the start of the movie, but progressively you see his uncontrollable temper and ego flair that ultimately leads him to the darkside.
overall: pretty darn cool movie.
