Review of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) by David C — 12 Dec 2013
This movie was almost a disaster. The plot is unnecessarily complex and difficult to actually care about. So much hinges on the main character Anakin, yet Lucas decides to put in a lightweight like Christensen.
He is one of the worst actors I have ever seen. Completely unconvincing as a Jedi. The character comes across as a whiny spoiled brat with zero redeeming qualities. The romantic aspect is a flat out dud as the actors have ZERO chemistry, which I fully blame on Christensen.
Even the terrific Natalie Portman cant save it. There's no way that this film can convince anyone that the level headed intelligent Padme would waster her time around a simple minded dullard like Anakin.
Horrible. So, the film basically meanders around this weak story until you get to the predictable big battle at the end. The effects are terrific though.
