A different way of telling a story

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Attack of the clones is the second movie after The Phantom Menace in chronological order and there is a long time skip between this and episode so beware of that.After the events of the Phantom Mences and the saddening death of Qui Gon Jin. We see an all grown up Anakin Skywalker with his Master Obi Won Kenobi go and investigate a case at a bar.Later on Obi Won Kenobi has gone on mission where he discovers a factory that makes clones and he also meets the original clone himself Jango Fett with his son Boba Fett. Meanwhile, Anakin is given an assignment to protect Padime the senator on mission but at the same time he gains feelings for her.We also introduced to The other clones, Count Dooku, The battle droids and many other characters.This was an excellent tie in to The Clone Wars animated shows (If there are anyone who watch that shows) as it showed events what happened after this movie. This movie and the series was good at explaining how Anakin is slowly turning evil. It's worth the watch.Have a good day everyone and may the force be with you.

The second episode of the new trilogy of "Star Wars" was much better than the first. He is much more gloomy, eventful and full of the sense that soon the customary world will collapse ... Moreover, it can be considered the most romantic film of the saga - speech, of course, about the love line of Anakin Skywalker and Padme Amidala performed by Natalie Portman. It is not only very well developed, but it also takes place mainly in very beautiful, blooming locations, which is generally uncommon for Star Wars. Even sad to realize that it is waiting for a tragic ending ...In all other respects, the "Clone Attack" can be considered a good film. Excellent battles on light swords, skirmishes, long conversations and flights on space ships - all this is done very qualitatively and interestingly. There are a lot of really unexpected plot twists, which will be appreciated not only by the fans of the universe, but by all the rest. For example, when a small dwarf Yoda takes a lightsaber in his hands and almost starts on an equal footing with the formidable Count Dooku, perhaps everyone was surprised ...However, in spite of this, the second episode can not be put on the same level as the classical trilogy. And it's not even the quality of performance, but the fact that those films evoked much more emotional response, they had the notorious "Star Wars magic", which is practically absent in the first two prequels.However, watching the "Attack of the Clones" is worth all fans of fiction - these films are shot too rarely.

Easily the worst in the SW franchise. No real character development, for anyone, and all characters are one-dimensional and dull. Even the passion from Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid fails to come through on screen - largely due to a poor script. CGI was unnecessarily forced, and it holds up the least of all the films by today's standards. Anakin's romance didn't hold me, and the film was oversaturated with lightsabers everywhere. In the originals, (and sequels), lightsabers were treats for the audience. Here, the tradition was broken hardest, in having the sheer volume of them on-screen at once. The film also lacks any stand out moment, that all the other films have: Maul and pod racing from TPM; the transformation scene in ROTS; the trench run in ANH; Vader's reveal in ESB; the duel in ROTJ; Han's death in TFA; and Luke's death in TLJ. The only redeeming factor, is that it gave us some quality memes.

It was overall a good film although I thought there was far too many gushy romance scenes with Anakin and Padme.I liked watching how Palpatine played both sided in orchestrating the Clone Wars; using his apprentice Dooku to build the Confederate movement and turning them into a military threat, then influencing the Senate into giving him greater power within the Republic until he was able to instate the Clone army (having ordered their creation in secret years before)I thought The big fight scene with Dooku in the launch bay was cool (to a point.) when he started against Obi-Wan and Anakin it started well with Dooku using his force lightning to take out Anakin briefly and face Obi-Wan solo, but then I thought Obi-Wan was a bit feeble against the sixth Lord, and the minimal cut to his arm and leg seemed unlikely to disable him as much as it did. The fight with Dooku and Anakin started well, it was a well choreographed fight and I enjoyed watching it, but clearly Anakin paused in the middle as Dooku posiitioned his lightsabre and sung to cut off his arm - it looked very unnatural and VERY staged. undoubtably Dooku Vs Yoda was an epic fight.The War erupted thanks to Anakin ad Obi-Wan, both had been captured by the Confederacy and were about to be executed until the Jedi intervened and were faced by the Confederacy army. With a perfectly timed arrival the Clones joined the fight and thus began the Clone War, with Palpatine pulling the strings on both sides.
