Comment:	I rather like the 'Spoiler Zone' colour theme...generally the whole page looks kindda cleaner and better, sharper and yet pleasant to the eye...I wonder if this site got better or is that my new screen with 'TrueColour' or whatever it is called....

Comment:	Amadala or Leia? Both look top quality in those white outfits. I'd be as good a swordsman as Vader if I had them to practise on. Why couldn't there have been an extra post in the execution arena for Jar Jar Binks? It wouldn't have hurt to see him ripped apart by a fantastic looking CGI alien monster.

Comment:	Okay this is an improvement over the first one. I give this a 3/5. Story is so-so. Nothing great, this includes the dialogue and acting. SFX is bright, colorful, and surreal...yawn. Attack of the Clones can't even compare to the classic BladeRunner/Matrix or Lord of The Rings. Story always comes first. There should be cohesion, a certain logic to the story. This includes all major/sub-plots. Take for example R2D2 and C3PO being present when Anakin rescues his mother and also meets his step-brother for the first time. Do droids or humans for that matter suffer amnesia in this film? How is it years later in the old starwars trilogy, neither droid nor the uncle who raises Luke Skywalker recognize each other. I'd like to see Lucas try and resolve that. Just one of the many flaws in the film. In fact this is the exact same crap I endured in the Phantom Menace, changed my mind give it a 2/5.

Comment:	Episode 2 is without doubt, the worst film ever made Yes I like Star Wars, but I shall ignore all the Warsian problems with the film and destory it on pure plot points. Start with the biggy Anakin kills the sandpeople every man, woman and child and tells padme. The one decent shot in the film when anakin comes out of the tent and kills the tusken, he actually looks like he's acting. Anyway, back to the point. She just pats him on the head and says 'there, there dear never mind' as opposed to the reality of starting to wonder about the guy and politely leaving the room to tell someone who can lock this obvious psycho up and away from her. Plot holes Jango fett is the seed for the clone army Jango fett is working for the bad guys The army is created on the order of a jedi who's been dead for years and may or may not have been dooku in disguise No one questions where the army came from or the wisdom of using it 2 jedi and a senator in the arena on geonosis Lets sacrifice 200 jedi and thousands of troopers and risk losing instead of sacrificing the 3 and nuking the arena from orbit, killing the head of the opposing army and many of his leutenants in the process in one fell swoop for the cost of 3 lives. The missing water planet. Obiwan goes to see yoda about the missing planet. The planet exists, you can tell it's there because of it's gravitational effects on other planets but itis not in the database. 'maybe it's been deleted from the database' mumbles a youngling (youngling, why???) I doubt the intellect of obiwan for not seeing this and I'ld have the kid in prodigy classes for being an obvious smart@rse

Comment:	The whole last section of the film. It's a computer game where you don't get to control any of the action. What's the point? You can't feel any connection to anyone because they're obviously all computers. And not well drawn ones either Sidetrack to a Star Warsian problem The loss of Anakins hand really annoyed me. The link between father and son from Return of the Jedi of the lost hand was such a powerful image, as was the losing of lukes hand. It was so casually lopped off in clones that all the power and gravitas is gone. Then some of the little aggravating bits The camera moves done from georges christmas present 'the big book of camera moves *you* can use with a computer' sweeps, rushing in through the battle, blah de blah de blah Yoda doing matrix moves...in the dark, I've seen better lightsabre battles in nightclubs between 2 guys with glowsticks. You could see more. Why were all the jedi made into generals? Does use of the force lead to a better understanding of how to wage a campaign? Yes there was no standing army in the republic but surely there must have been someone, somewhere in the galaxy who'ld at least led men into battle at paintball. The general over reliance on CGI. In lord of the rings, the big city scapes were models that had been made and sets that were built and the cgi was used on top of that. It makes for a more realistic and approachable film. Same thing is true of the replacement in red dwarf of the CGI crimson rouge one for a bland CG version and the less said about the DVD releases of 4-6 the better, replacing dialogue from the most quoted film in the universe. Changing sebastian shaw for hayden christian, why not have a young yoda or euan macgregor instead of alec guiness.
