"Worst Episode EVER"

Rating: 2/10 (20 May 2002)

Someone needs to beat George Lucas. He did go to film school, didn't he? My mind is baffled that someone could actually make a movie so incredibly bad. For all of you that voted 10, something is definetly wrong with you. Nothing about this film was good; not the directing, not the acting, not the editing, and and especially not the script. The only thing that could make Attack of the Clones worse would be casting Keanu Reeves as the lead. Well there is one good thing about this film...it is the funniest movie of the year. It's so bad it's funny.
Here are some coments I have on this film:
The use of wipe cuts was really pathetic. The classic movie serial effect was killed by this movie. Lucus does it even between scenes. A wipe is for trasitional purposes, but they don't help with all of the sloppy scene changes.
Why can aliens not speak english but always understand it? And the other way around too. These languages come off sounding like a farting competition.
Exposition. The only way its done is through dialouge. There are countless ten second scenes explaning how the Force can be bad. The music doesn't even help move the story along. When Anikan is on an island with Queen Amidala the music makes the viewer think a fight scene is about to occur, but it doesn't. SO WHATS THE POINT? John Williams creates an awful score.
The script is by far the part that digs Attack of the Clones's grave. The cheesiest lines are presented. "I dont like sand..." Where do you come up with this crap Lucas? Take a class or something before the third one is even worse.
You cant blame the actors completely for the bad acting. Most of it is the script, as seen with Samuel L Jackson's horrendus performance. The computer generated Yoda ends up being the best actor.
Little things like when Natilie Portman is about to die and then gets up as if nothing happened puts Attack of the Clones in a select class of pathetic attempts at filmmaking. this movie wasn't a film, it was crap with special effects. George Lucas needs to realize that CGI doesn't make a movie and go back to making films suck as American Graffiti.
