It does have a lot of eye-candy though like stunning cinematography. But is it still a somewhat okay film? That depends strongly on how well you can notice and embrace the flaws. It’s a bit the same with Ian McDiarmid, who continues to impress on the big screen as Palpatine! The main protagonist Count Dooku is a somewhat wise and of course menacing villain, but there’s no feeling nor any real depth to him. Nathalie Portman has improved in a more nuanced way than in ’The Phantom Menace', where her performance was way too one-dimensional. And speaking of the actors performance’s the cast is very good even though they’aren't perfect. The problem is in the script, it’s not the actors fault that for example the romance didn't work out in a better and more ”The Empire Strikes Back-ish" way. Romance should be relatable, understandable and wonderful not forced and non-existing like in this flick. The romance between the main antagonist Anakin, and the senator of Naboo Padmé, are at some moments somewhat okay presented, meanwhile in other scenes total rubbish. The characters often have to express and explain their feelings and exactly what they're thinking, even in situations where there’s no need for that because we already understand what they’re going through. The vast amount of dry, forced and bad expositions (and dialogs) are one of the film’s worst aspects. The characters often have to express and explain their feelings and exactly what they're ’Attack of The Clones’ is another example of George Lucas’s recent attempts of basic storytelling. ’Attack of The Clones’ is another example of George Lucas’s recent attempts of basic storytelling. Star Wars: Episode II: Attack of the Clones is a wonderfully-done film, and it is certainly worth your time to watch the second episode of the Star Wars saga. Besides, I love a romance between "star-crossed" lovers. The romance between Anakin and Padmé has been ridiculed for being "cheesy" and "clichéd," but I think the moments and dialogue between them are perfect for their situation, as well as the universe that they live in. Not only that, but the characters are believable and realistic for the situations they are placed in.

Lucas delivered another good screenplay, with some help from Jonathan Hales, and the politics-as well as the machinations of the Sith, and the slow erosion of the Republic-are fantastically done. When watching the film, I believed that the characters were the characters, not actors playing characters. Again, I didn't get the accusations of "wooden" acting and "boring" characters. I liked the characters of Obi-Wan, Padmé, and Anakin, as well as each of the conflicts and struggles they faced in the film. Coruscant is shrouded in fog, Kamino is shrouded in mystery, and Geonosis is shrouded in violence each is part of the shroud of the dark side that is ever-present in the film-in one of the main characters, and in the events that move the story along. Each of the planets is a representation of what is happening on the planet. No one would expect a 874-year-old green troll to have such mobility. I don't get why people complain about him jumping around during the fight, though such acrobatics show an interesting contrast between Yoda's age, and his actual power in the Force, and skill in lightsaber combat. Seeing Yoda finally whip out his lightsaber and fight was very exciting. The CGI strengthens the film-the action sequences look amazing, from the speeder chase at the film's beginning, to the ending confrontation between the Jedi and Count Dooku. The locations are memorable and interesting the craggy canyons of Geonosis and the torrential storms of Kamino were immediately imprinted in my head when I first saw them.
