Summary: My series is complete
Comment: I now have the entire 6 tapes and this completed my series...Great product, great website and great delivery!
Customer Rating:
Summary: The first three episodes where the best.
Comment: I never used to be a "hard core" Star Wars fan as many of you are. I saw the last 3 episodes and I liked it. However, when the first three episodes came out specifically Attack of the Clones and revenge of the Sith, I truly became a hard core fan. What made me a fan was the love story between Anakin and Padme. I too cannot believe all the negativity towards Hayden or Natalie Portman. There are so many hateful and mean people out there. Can you do any better? I think they both did a great job. I think that both Hayden and Natalie are the new stars of tommorow and we will see allot more of them. I pray that both of them has huge success.
I do agree that some of the lines was a bit cheesy but I also found it quite endearing. Their love was true and genuine. The only thing I hated was that there was no more mention of Padme in the last three episodes. I would have loved for Anakin and Padme to have a reunion at the end (in death of course).I wish George Lucas would give the two lovers a true ending and not leave it at the tragedy that it currently is. For some or other reason I am having a hard time in finding closure with Padme giving up at the end. However, with all of that said, I still love the first three movies more than the last three episodes. Well done to all fo the actors!

Summary: Much better than Phantom Menace
Comment: Star Wars Episode II: Attack Of The Clones takes place 10 years after the events in Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Now we have an older, yet still immature, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christiansen). This film is really where the prequels begin to take off. You begin to see the conflict within Anakin, which will ultimately lead to his fall to the dark side. The love story between Anakin and Senator Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman), was brilliantly done, and not overplayed within the story as many have complained. This film has massive battle sequences, and finally gives us die-hard fans the chance to see Yoda weild his lightsaber!!!! The main villian in Clones, Count Dooku, was brilliantly performed by veteran actor Christopher Lee (Lord of the Rings, Dracula). Attack Of The Clones will not dissapoint.

Summary: Some bad lines, great special effects, some decent Star Wars fun
Comment: I could talk about the corny lines between Anakin and Padme but all of that's been said. That said this was without a doubt the weakest of the 6 films. The reason I still gave it four stars, however, was because there were actually some very memorable parts like the clone battle, the fight between Obi Wan and Jengo Fett on Kamino, and the speeder chase on Coruscant. If you can get past the atrocious dialogue between Anakin and Padme, I think you'll still enjoy this movie. As always the dvd itself is of high quality with plenty of extras. Star Wars fans will purchase this for the same reason I did, to complete your collection.

If The Phantom Menace was the setup, then Attack of the Clones is the plot-progressing payoff, and devoted Star Wars fans are sure to be enthralled. Ten years after Episode I, Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman), now a senator, resists the creation of a Republic Army to combat an evil separatist movement. The brooding Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is resentful of his stern Jedi mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor), tormented by personal loss, and showing his emerging "dark side" while protecting his new love, Amidala, from would-be assassins. Youthful romance and solemn portent foreshadow the events of the original Star Wars as Count Dooku (a.k.a. Darth Tyranus, played by Christopher Lee) forges an alliance with the Dark Lord of the Sith, while lavish set pieces showcase George Lucas's supreme command of all-digital filmmaking. All of this makes Episode II a technological milestone, savaged by some critics as a bloated, storyless spectacle, but still qualifying as a fan-approved precursor to the pivotal events of Episode III. --Jeff Shannon
