Amazingly worse than "The Phantom Menace"

Rating: 1/10 (4 August 2010)

This is terrible. Attack of the Clones doesn't do things that just infuriate Star Wars fans like the first prequel. There is no mention of midichlorians, and Jar-Jar is in it way less. In terms of insulting Star Wars fans this isn't as bad as "The Phantom Menace". In terms of which has less quality this one is worse. The dialogue is awful, and most of the actors are terrible. Anakin was extremely annoying in the first prequel, and he is even worse here. He complains all the time throughout the film, he is creepy, and is very unlikeable. The person who plays Anakin gives the worst performance in the film. Hayden Christensen is so bad that I want to punch him in the face. The dialogue he is given is shockingly bad, and he makes it sound even worse. The dialogue for everyone sounds less like Star Wars and more like a soap opera. Scratch that soap operas are way less cheesy. Then there is the worst thing about this thing. The romance between Anakin and Padme is the worst I have ever seen. The actors have no chemistry, the romantic dialogue is awful, Padme doesn't even seem to like Anakin until the script tells her to, Anakin does almost nothing right to make her fall in love with him, Anakin acts like a creepy stalker, it's extremely cliché, and it's the most forced romance ever. I would rather watch Jar-Jar sing in Star Wars on Ice than watch this romance again. It's that bad. There are a few things that are good about the movie. Christopher Lee as Count Dooko is great, and the score is excellent. Actually change that there is only two good things about the movie. The effects are good, but there is barely a scene that doesn't use a green screen or an effect. There is so much CGI that I felt like stabbing my eyes out. It feels so artificial. Even Yoda isn't even good in this movie. Frank Oz who was Yoda in the Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Phantom Menace, and the Star Wars film after this just isn't very wise. In Empire and Jedi he was a very wise, and was well acted from Frank Oz. When the prequels came along Yoda lost his wisdom. He stopped being interesting, and well acted by Frank Oz. Samul L Jackson doesn't fit the role he is given at all. The characters Jackson plays in his movies are usually badmouthed and violent. So when he was put in this movie what was he to do. Star Wars is largely geared towards kids so he couldn't start dropping F bombs. So he is given a role that is the exact opposite of what he is usually given. Therefor Jackson isn't given a chance to deliver a performance. It seemed to me that he was more reading his lines than acting. So Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones is a terrible movie. Only two things I can find are actually good, and the rest is horrid.
