 God, it's better than the first one. That's not true! That's impossible! Ooh, that's a hot mug, guys! Hey guys, this is my review for Star Wars Episode 2 Attack of the Clones and one very little interesting tidbit to start off this review. The assistant director for this film was James McTeague, the guy who then went on to direct V for Vendetta and he hasn't really directed anything good since. Attack of the Clones takes place what like ten years after the Phantom Menace. Anakin has grown up into a walking Me Too movement poster child. Ewan McGregor has grown the Jesus of Perm and there is a very, very complicated, doesn't make sense when you think about it plot going on. At this point, we still don't know who Sidious is. However, his plans are starting to become more and more random because of his plan was to start this war in the first place. Everything he has done prior, up until the end of the film, makes no sense in the grand scheme. Why did he try to assassinate Senator Padme if he knew that he wanted Anakin to be heard? Why was her assassination attempt such a box job sending in stupid little learners of all time? How did Cipher Diaz set up this after them and 10 years ago? What was the point of the Trans Federation? He didn't just get killed, he didn't do anything else. Why did the Jedi take the jump again in the middle of his head? Why didn't he just get killed in the middle of his head? Where did the Duke of Sanctuary come out? He doesn't even make sense in the grand scheme of things. He was literally introduced because no one liked Jar Jar. There are a lot of issues with this film in terms of its narrative. However, the one very, very saving grace, it's not boring but for far, far different reasons. The acting in this is horrible. Natalie Portman's delivery is that of a block of wood. Hayden Christensen is that of a whining man child. Ewan McGregor, by God he's trying his best but the fact that he's on a green screen stage and he has really no direction whatsoever from George, he looks just as lost as you would feel in that situation. John Williams once again is absolutely killing it though with the score. The visuals of this film once they get going are fantastic. The final battle is still amazing to watch when that trade federation ship crashes and there's that huge dust cloud and they're like... I thought that was cool when it was a kid and I still think that's cool now. Speaking of things that I thought was cool when I was a kid, that Yoda fight with Dooku, that was really cool. It kind of breaks his illusion of the character. I'm not as butt hurt about it as a lot of people were. There were a lot of people who were very upset to see Yoda doing this. I can kind of understand their reasoning because if he's this old and he's moving around this slow, how can he all of a sudden jump around like a Cirque du Soleil gymnast? But also it's just the character of Yoda was meant to be that of why he's in like a battle meditator. However, this is kind of building up to the fight in the third film because thank God that he did that because if he had just all of a sudden had Yoda take on Sidious without any prior knowledge of his skills, that would have been really random. But the main crux of the film is the relationship between Padme and Anakin and it just... God! Every time they say a sentence to each other, something to do romantic wise is just like... their chemistry is just... it's not that great. Their dialogue and delivery is just terrible. There are some moments here and there like when Anakin goes full postal on a Tuscan Raider family and it's funny to think about it now but when I was a kid, I didn't really cue into the fact that he murdered women and children. So it's not really that much of a surprise when he just takes it a little bit further and kills some Jedi children, but they really had to double down on him doing it because he had already murdered an entire village. The character of Anakin Skywalker on paper is a very cool character, a character being corrupted by his emotions, being manipulated by outside forces, and not being reprimanded because his master had a affiliation similar to that of his in his past. However Obi-Wan was able to walk past it, he was able to move on from it. This is something that they bring up the Clone Wars show. That piece of information makes their relationship so much more important, but no, they have these member when we fell into that pit of Gundogs. That dialogue isn't useful for anything, but the background relationship information about Obi-Wan makes his reluctance to do anything about Padme and Anakin make so much more sense. Fuck Lucas, you're a terrible fucking storyteller sometimes. And in the end Attack of the Clones is a cringy movie, but it's an entertaining cringy movie. It's got a pulse, it's much more entertaining than the first film, but it's still stupid. I'm going to give episode 2 a 2 out of 7. That's my review for episode 2 guys, I hope you enjoyed.
