Movie Review: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

The sequel to Phantom Menace wasn't as well received by the critics or the public. Various reasons for this, the first that I'm going to mention later on, is the dialogue. Ok, so it's ten years after Phantom Menace. Anakin is ten years older and he has completed his jedi training and is on his way back to the council with Obi Wan Kenobi. Before they even arrive, Anakin is worrying about how Padme will perceive him (because all of a sudden Anakin has this sudden weird love thing with her). When they get to the council, Anakin sees Padme and the two jedi receive the mission. The mission is to protect Padme from an attempted assassin. OK, so the villians in this movie are awesome. We meet two new people who are considered the antagonists, Jango Fett is this bounty hunter who basically is after the senator. We meet his son named Boba. Completely random name choice of course. Christopher Lee joins the cast as Count Dooku. He's like this guy who basically is the Emperor, only a little less evil. These two guys rock the movie. The main complaint with this film, the dialogue. There are a bunch of scenes in this movie where Anakin and Padme are hanging out and their talking. The thing is, the dialogue is kind of cheesy. Also, there isn't as much acting in these scenes, it seems like we are watching Romeo and Juliet. Other than that, the movie is great. Acting, effects, the ending duel. Three stars.
