I like Star Wars movies but this one almost had me in tears. Why? Because it is easily the most boring Star Wars movie ever made. The only exciting part was the pod racing scene. The movie seemed to drag on and on without really going anywhere, as if they were trying to make the movie as long as possible. If you're a die hard Star Wars fan then you should probably check it out, but I think that you might be disappointed.

The dumb acting and dumb romance between Anakin and Padame' totally ruined this movie. Sure there's action but that's probably the only good thing about this movie and all of the other Star wars films. It seems that george Lucas relies on heavy visual effects and sci-fi action more than on the storyline and depth of the characters. There shouldn't be an attack by clone soldiers. There really should be an attack by audiences who saw this movie.

This was like the chick flick of Star Wars. Scattered audiences for this one. Hayden Christensen's acting was kinda funny at some times, and a little bad, but he seemed like the perfect Anakin. Mace Windu was just awesome. The connection between Anakin and Padme was a little rough at some points. But hey, how else could it go down? Awesome movie.

This is a good movie, bit more lightsaber action, and more people seen killed, limbs severed and Samuel. l. Jackson finally got to use a lightsabre. And a romance that explains a lot but i think was not needed. but stillit was good.

Attack of the Clones is a fairly enjoyable Star Wars entry, but Hayden Christiansen as Anakin was not a good choice. Luckily, Christiansen did a much better job in Revenge of the Sith. He was not good in this one, though.

I'm not that much into romance, but there had to be something between Anakin and Padme! Anyway, it's still pretty good, and this is where the real battle begins in the most crucial time for the galaxy.

  Attack of the Clones celebrates a certain youthful spirit in both moviemaking and movie watching; because it's as much phenomenon as movie, audiences will either ride with or reject it. I was happy to take the ride.

  Don't go if "Star Wars" isn't your bag: You'll only resist and resent it. But if you're a fan, it's hard to see how you'd be disappointed. Me? I can't wait for May 2005. "Episode III": Hot diggity!

  George Lucas has reached deep into the trove of his self-generated mythological world to produce a grand entertainment that offers a satisfying balance among the series' epic, narrative, technological and emotional qualities.

  As for the breathless 45-minute climax, no screen fantasy adventure in memory can match the showmanship.

  The saga regains its grandeur with a complicated but easy-to-follow story. The characters are as satisfying as the effects.

  In a time when, more often than not, sequels disappoint, it's refreshing to uncover something this high-profile that fulfils the promise of its name and adds another title to a storied legacy.

  As the sequence builds, it accretes so many heroic and nightmarish associations it plays like a prelude to apocalypse, which of course will come in Episode III. Attack of the Clones is part soda pop, part witches' brew - and all visual ambrosia.

  Mostly very good. It's exactly the big fix of Saturday-matinee adventure, blazing special effects, inside humor and sly self-references for which its fans have been lusting.

  Clones is not a good movie -- but it is an incredibly awesome Star Wars movie! This is far from a perfect film, but the problems are almost dismissable based on the final result.

  Still, in its own Saturday-morning-serial kind of way, Attack of the Clones is a commendable example of the sort of movie we once loved and then outgrew. Of course, if it was even better, we wouldn't feel as if we'd outgrown it.

  A triumph of technology over humanity, and if it falls short of a completely fulfilling experience, it also achieves the kind of primal emotion movies were invented for: wonder.

  Clones makes the Frodo-speak of "Lord of the Rings" sound like Noel Coward.
