: : : : I thought it was great! At least better than Episode I. Particularly since the story line really starts to bridge the original series with this series, what with the Clone Army being put to use, and knowing that they will one day be the Empire's Storm Troopers. : : Well let's start with the Clones themselves. I actually rented the DVD of ATTACK OF THE CLONES and watched it again, to see if maybe I'd like it better... : : I did not, and one of many things that irked me was the whole Clone thing. Okay, here goes- some rogue Jedi secretly commissions this Clone army be built, then erases the cloner's planet from the Jedi archives... : : Obi-Wan goes to investigate, and discovers that the clones are of a guy named Jengo Fett, who engages Obi-Wan in battle then flees to the planet where the rogue Dooku is based. : : Jengo Fett is OBVIOUSLY in cahoots, with Dooku, who himself is building an army of robots, so what does the Jedi council do? : : THEY CALL UP THE ARMY OF CLONES WHO WERE CLONED FROM JENGO FETT, WHO IS WORKING WITH DOOKU. : : Is it just me, or was that about the most retarded thing that the so-called "learned" Jedi could ever do? It should have been PLAINLY OBVIOUS that Dooku was double-dealing, that he was trying to get the Jedi to call up the Clones into service, but they didn't figure that out??? That whole plot point was so ridiculous that I lost any "respect" for the Jedi. They are a race of morons. : : : Also, the progression of the Anachin character, a seemingly good guy who's being tortured by fear, greed and anger. : : If not for the terrible dialogue, writing, and acting I might agree. Annakin just came across as a whiny baby who did nothing but complain, and his relationship with Pad-Me was completely lacking in chemistry. : : : The effects were better : : I'll give you that. : : : the characters were at least a little more interesting than in Episode I. : : Again, the awful writing and dialogue ruined it for me. : : : (if I never have to see another Gungin as long as I live, that suits me just fine!) : : I'll give you that. : : : And partially I love it because it's a transitional film, just like "The Empire Strikes Back". : : Except that THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK was really, really good. : : : I'm interested in your specific thoughts on why you preferred Episode I to Episode II. : : Maybe it's that I wasn't expecting much from EPISODE 1. I wanted to be entertained, and it did that for me (well, except for Jar-Jar and some of the stuff with the kid). ATTACK OF THE CLONES just annoyed the hell out of me. : : Vincent
