Quit yer snivlin'

Rating: Null/10 (17 May 2002)

There have been many complaints about this flick that are just plain ridiculous. The aspect most often whined about is the title: 'Attack of the Clones' being cheesy. I actually thought that was a good sign when I heard the title. There was another Star Wars movie made in 1980 with an equally cheesy title: 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Please, don't even attempt to philosophize that the EP. 5 title is superior. People have also criticized the romance between Amidala and Anakin as being unbelievable. There is no one alive who can say with a straight face that the God awful romance development between Han Solo and Princess Leia was any more convincing. And the dry delivery of lines? Anyone remember, "scruffy looking nerf herder!" The point is, all those elements are essential ingredients to a Star Wars flick. They were part of the original trilogy, and they are a part of AOTC. This movie is the best since EP. 5. Period.
What? The unnecessary silliness with 3PO in the end? Anyone remember the line: "Slow down, you wooly!"?
