The second prequel to the original Star Wars trilogy takes place ten years after the events depicted in Star Wars: Episode I -- The Phantom Menace. Now 20, young Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is an apprentice to respected Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Unusually powerful in the Force, Anakin is also impatient, arrogant, and headstrong -- causing his mentor a great deal of concern. The pair are ordered to protect Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), the former queen of the planet Naboo, now representing her world in the Galactic Senate. Someone is trying to assassinate her on the eve of a vote enabling Supreme Chancellor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid) to build a military force that will safeguard against a growing separatist movement led by mysterious former Jedi Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). After another attempt on Padme's life, Obi-Wan and Anakin separate. The young Jedi and Padme fall in love as he escorts her first to the security of Naboo and then to his home world of Tatooine, where the fate of his mother leads him to commit an ominous atrocity. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan travels to the secretive planet Kamino and the asteroid-ringed world of Geonosis, following bounty hunter Jango Fett (Temuera Morrison) and his son, Boba (Daniel Logan), who are involved in an operation to create a massive army of clones. A vicious battle ensues between the clones and Jedi on one side and Dooku's droids on the other, but who is really pulling the strings in this galactic conflict? In late 2002, the movie was released in IMAX theaters as Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones: The IMAX Experience, with a pared-down running time of 120 minutes in order to meet the technical requirements of the large-screen format. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

attack of the clones is approached more like a mystery film.its not like phantom menace which had us constantly following two jedis in one story.in this one it goes off into the clone and love story.ewan mcgregor immediately assumes the role of master and does a great job of replacing qui-gon.great film with a last hour that had me breathless.

This movie was more emotional than The Phantom Menace thanks to Padme and an older Anakin. The direction is still not as good as evident with the choppy delivery of the dialogue. But it doesn't take away from the layered story or the overall performances. The absence of Qui-Gon and Darth Maul creates a vacuum that helps connect Anakin to Palpatine (necessary to the story). This movie also introduces a digital Yoda and allows the character to be more three dimensional. The battles look a bit convoluted but no less exciting. If your planet of origin did not show these movies, you should see them in order (1 thru 6).

This was a great movie! Not the best in the Star Wars series, but it was amazing! Lots of "force" so to speak was in the movie, and all Sci-Fi fans will love this! Believe me, you don't have to be a geek to like Star Wars!

Obviously the bad reviews are written by those who did not even see the very first Star Wars movie when it released at the theatres in the late 70's. These new films give an enormous new background on the first three, provide the developing plot and build the characters, then add in the special effects available now versus then and you have some great movies! Just an opinion from a true 80's child.

The Star Wars prequel trilogy has just got better in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. The special effects in this movie are even better like the other Star Wars films. Fans and audiences are just getting excited for more Star Wars!

Attack of the Clones is okay

Yes   |   No


Dan S.

The worst of the series. Hayden Christensen couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. A necessary evil if you want to get to the much anticipated Episode III, but this is nothing but drab filler.

Andrew H.

This movie could have been better. The 3 stars are for the action and special effects but the script was horrible and the romance was an F-. The saga has sunk pretty low, The 3rd comes out soon it better be good.
