Slight improvement, but still bad... Wow, where do I start? From the title on, this movie sucks. Attack of the clones? I could think of a better title for this movie in the next five seconds. It sounds like the title of a B-list horror film, like Attack of the Killer Tomatoes or something cheesy like that. Sadly, this movie wasn't meant to be a farce. George Lucas was being serious when he made this garbage. The story is slow. The plot is unengaging. Lucas seems more concerned with his so-called "plot" than in actual entertaining and storytelling. This is why the first two (and possibly the third) prequels suck. There is too much senate crap in this episode, and too many new characters for those who aren't familiar with Star Wars. I've been a Star Wars fan for most of my life, and even I had trouble following along. All the evil characters have two or three different names (Count Dooku, Darth Tyrannus, etc.), and there are too many characters to care about all of them. The acting is terrible, almost laughably bad. Samuel L. Jackson is among the worst. It's almost like he's playing the role of the Black Jedi, strictly for racial diversity. And speaking of diversity, what's the deal with Jango Fett and Boba Fett being Polynesian? That's unacceptable. Does Lucas feel like he has to include every race in his movies? Will the next Jedi be Hispanic? They should never have showed either of the Fett's faces in the movie. You just don't picture a Poly under that mask and armor. That really annoyed me, because it's such a blatant attempt to diversify the cast. I'm glad they both die. Hayden Christiansen is a very bad actor. Lucas likes to cast newcomers for some reason, probably so he can take credit for discovering the next big thing. Sorry George, you failed with Jake Lloyd and again with Hayden. Natalie Portman, who is usually a good actress, was really bad in AOTC. There were a few entertaining parts in the movie (Yoda's fight with Dooku, the arena scene, the chase in the city) but I wouldn't watch the whole thing again for a long time. I have the DVD (I got it as a gift) and have yet to watch the whole thing straight through. That's a bad commentary. I'm not a Star Wars hater. I'm just being honest. Attack of the Clones was better than the Phantom Menace, but still very bad. Trust me.
