Review of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) by Jesse J — 26 Nov 2017
As is the case with this movie's predecessor "The Phantom Menace", "Attack of the Clones" does have it's high points. One such high point is the well produced action sequences.
They certainly help add to the entertainment value of this movie. Also the scenes on Planet Kamino which is the location of the production and training facilities for the clone army are also well done.
However the movie is hurt by a number of flaws. The biggest is Hayden Christensen's abysmal performance as Anakin Skywalker. He is the central character to this movie and he fails on just about every level.
Scenes that are supposed to be emotional and dramatic come across as just plain stupid due to Christensen's poor acting ability and absolutely cornball dialogue. Also he has no chemistry at all with Padme Amidala played by future Academy Award winner Natalie Portman.
You know there is a major problem with your movie when the best character in it isn't even a human being. It's instead a computer generated image. Specifically Yoda. Still there is enough to like about this movie to recommend it.
However once you have finished watching it you will remember how good the original trilogy is.
