Definitely the low point of the series. Hayden Christensen is painful to watch sometimes. But Ewan MacGregor makes up for it mostly, and the long-awaited Yoda lightsaber battle is just sweet.
Not much for star wars but hayden christensen is soo hott lol and i like Natalie portman!
This is why Darth Maul needed to survive. Because you build a movie on Lucas doing romance dialogue and it's going to be sucktastic.
though this COULD HAVE BEEN so much better, i'm pretty confident in the fact that this was the best of the prequels.
Critic Reviews
This is the film Star Wars fans have been waiting for since 1980.full review
The scale of the enterprise is thrilling; it's too bad the movie is so muddled on so many different levels.full review
Unlike the first Star Wars, made for a general audience in search of a good time, Attack of the Clones is pitched to a cult audience.full review
This is a fantasy with no poetry in it, which explains why barely a frame of it stuck with me after I left the theater.full review
The Force against dullness is finally goosing George Lucas.full review
Episode II-- Attack of the Clones is a technological exercise that lacks juice and delight.full review
I'm tempted to quote an evergreen Public Enemy song: don't believe the hype.full review
