Better than Episode 1 but still not very good.

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2002)

It looks as though George Lucas has learned from his mistakes in Episode 1. This time around he's upped the action, reduced the politics and brought Episode 2 more into line with the feel of the original trilogy.
Clearly this in itself is enough to keep the fans happy but it does not make Attack of the Clones a good movie by wider standards. Stilted dialogue, wooden acting and a strangely washed-out feel to most of the CGI graphics made the first half of this film in particular, a chore to watch. Can anyone genuinely think of a memorable quote from this one?
Episode 2 did just enough to keep me hanging on for Episode 3 - let's hope George Lucas hires a decent script-writer next time round!
