Review of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002) by Michael C — 26 Nov 2017

It's very close between Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, but the lack of Binks and abundance of action makes it marginally better. However, It loses the entire essence of what Star Wars was supposed to be about with eye-burning CGI, most inexcusably evident in the freak-fest planet of Coruscant.

Christensen is not as bad as everyone says he is; he is at least convincing at portraying Anakin's raw anger and frustration. One of the film's major issues is its failure to decide upon a leading protagonist, causing us to be catapulted to and fro between the boring dialogue between Padme and Anakin and Ewan Mcgregor attempting to act next to entirely computerised figures.
