Description: Ten years after initially meeting, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) shares a forbidden romance with Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), while Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) investigates and assassination attempt on the senator and discover a secret clone army crafter for the Jedi.
Review: The sequel in this trilogy came out just a few years after “The Phantom Menace”, but is set 10 years later.
When Anakin Skywalker, now all grown up, reunites with Padmé, he falls in love with her. When an assassination attempt on her occurs, Anakin is send to protect her on a remote location. Meanwhile Obi-Wan tries to investigate and he stumbles upon a secret clone army.
“Attack of the Clones” is without a doubt the worst “Star Wars” film to date. And this is mainly because of the cringeworthy romance between Anakin and Padmé, with the absolute low-point being them rolling in the grass. That the two fell in love, I’m fine with that, but it’s anything but subtle. And the fact that Hayden Christensen’s performance is simple embarrassing in this film is also a factor.
There is enough action and that arena scene is really impressive. And I have to admit that the fight between Master Yoda and Count Dooku is pretty awesome. But overall the special effects aren’t always that great.
I actually rewatched “Attack of the Clones”, because I’m rewatching the entire series. But this is a movie I simply don’t enjoy much and it is really bad at some points.
Rating: 2/ 5
