see at your own risk

Rating: 6/10 (23 May 2002)

Star Wars 2 (Attack of the Clones) appears to be like two movies. The first part appears to move rather slowly and lethargically, while the second hour or so keeps you on the edge of the seat. The acting by Hayden Christiansen, in particular, is somewhat deplorable, and the acting by Natalie Portman is not much better, although that may be the result of a bad script. What appears to save this movie from the ranks of those like "Rollerball (2002 remake) is the fantastic action sequences that occur through the second half. I would say if you had to see one movie this summer, do not see this. See Spider-Man instead, the acting and script there are so much better.
