    SW II: Attack of the Clones

    I saw Attack of the clones last night for the very first time.

    Over the weekend I watched the Original Holy Trilogy.

    I honestly have to say that Clones is worthy of being included in the series.

    I enjoyed it, it had very little Jar-Jar, and the little it did shows that he played a big part in the destruction of the Old Republic.

    I wondered for a long time why this movie wasn't called the Clone Wars, but now I understand.

    I thought the bad guys had a pretty good plan. More in depth than I expected it to be.

    I think Lucas will do even better in Episode 3.

    ACK!

      I think GL was screwing up as soon as he removed the Yub-Numb from the ROTJ SE... I didn't care for either prequal.

        Well, the Yub-Nub just added to the pain... but it was the fact that Han DIDN'T shoot first was the straw that broke the cammel's back.

          That was the reason I actually watched all three movies this weekend, The first time I watched it I missed the fact that Greedo shot first in the updated version.

          Can't have Han Solo seem like a murderous thug can we?

            I agree! Yub-nub was damn catchy
            In regards to Episode II, upon my initial viewing I thought it wasn't even as good as Episode I (which I actually liked, for the most part). Now, after repeated viewings, I can honestly say it's quite a bit better than Episode I and probably around the same level of quality as the originals.

              I just finished watching this movie for the first time on DVD about 10 minutes ago (parents rented it).

              I found it painful to watch. Absolutely terrible. Contrived dialog, bad plot and storydevelopment, predictable special effects, huge plot holes, disappointing battles.

              George Lucas is a pathetic film maker, he's lucky so many people buy into his childish movies. They're aimed for 6 year olds, how can any grown man like this garbage?

              Flame on!

                I was actually suprised it was as good as it was. After all the talk on here, I thought it would suck and it didn't.

                Even the kid playing Anakin got better as the movie progressed.

                ACK!

                  Tell me some instances.

                  The biggest and most obvious plot hole I saw was C3PO working at that moisture farm where Luke grew up.

                  Wouldn't he have remembered it in Star Wars?

                  ACK!

                    Why is it that Yoda has to walk slowly with a cane the whole time, and the second he needs to use a lightsabre he's doing backflips?

                    When they're in that robot factory thing, his arm is continually pressed down upon with presses and it doesn't phase him at all. The metal just conveniently moulds around his arm and doesn't hurt him...

                    And where's the blood when his arm is severed?!

                      I saw the movie twice in the theaters (hooray for $1.50 movie theaters!), and I enjoyed it quite a bit more the second time because I knew enough to leave halfway through to take a piss and play a quarter's worth of Metal Slug 3 in the theater lobby. When I got back to the movie, voila!, the craptastic romance scenes were over, and the fighting was about to begin. Wutang!

                      Apparently it was quite similar to Pearl Harbor in regards to the fact that it's much more enjoyable to watch on video, where you can skip the boring parts and get to the 'splosions. (I haven't yet been brave enough to watch Pearl Harbor, despite the fact that my brother keeps assuring me that there's a decent hour's worth of movie in the whole mess, so I cannot personally attest to the validity of this comparison.)

                        He uses the force to fight, not to walk

                        Agree, a little too convenient.


                        And where's the blood when his arm is severed?!
                        Light sabers always cauterize the wound, unless in a cantina in Mos Eisley.

                          How does Yoda firmly grip the lightsabre with 3 fat fingers?

                          Why can't Lucas afford decent actors with his big budget?

                            AOTC is much better than TPM, but not up to the standards of the first trilogy, in large part due to the craptastic romance scenes and the utter inability of the actor portraying Anakin to... act. However, the craptastic romance scenes do feature young Ms. Portman in some very... attractive clothing.

                              Yes, she was very attractive, didn't even recognize her as the tennage girl in " Beautiful Girls"
