Wouldn't hold a candle to any of the original Star Wars Trilogy

Rating: 2/10 (26 January 2003)

Attack Of The Clones is a film which relies to much on special effects and not enough on dialogue and overall enjoyabilty. The characters are in no way as likeable as Chewbacca, Han Solo and the original charaters. While the original Star Wars Trilogy used modelling and puppet techniques, Attack Of The Clones relies to much on computer effects. Far too much blue screen work. Don't get me wrong, the blue screen is good in small doses. IN SMALL DOSES. But 90% of what we see on the screen are computer effects.

The film's battle scenes are well choreographed and prepared, but endlessly boring. The dialogue is wooden and duller than you could possibly imagine. "Yes master, no master". And as for the love story, never has a relationship seemed so unconvincing. The story is thrown together with little thought being put into it.
All the CGI in the world cannot save it from it's lamentable script. It's minorly better than Episode 1, but still not much to write home about. This one's for Star Wars fans and people with good attention spans only.
