STAR WARS: EPISODE 2 - ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002)

GEORGE LUCAS

Plot

The Saga continues... or perhaps just drags on, unwilling to acknowledge death. Anakin Skywalker is now a highly accomplished Jedi apprentice still reluctantly under the tutelage of Obi-Wan. There is dark trouble brewing on a distant planet and the Jedi must prepare themselves for an epic battle, but in the midst of this conflict the young Skywalker and Amidala begin a passionate and forbidden relationship that threatens to destroy them both. Rummage through the memories you'd rather not have and find the one marked Star Wars episode 1 (I think you know where I'm going with this) and take that as good warning of what Episode II has to offer. There are some spectacular sets but even the action scenes don't match up to the quality fight choreography we've come to expect from modern movies, and everything else about 'Attack of the Clones' quite simply stinks. Like watching a very expensive episode of Power Rangers, get someone else to direct it next time George, because you seem to have been busy unlearning your trade over the last 20 years.
