DVD Reviews of Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)

DVD Review: Yoda Kicks Butt
Summary: 5 Stars

you finale get to see yoda in action in the sequel. finale yoda gets his turn to kick some butt. this movie is awesome.

DVD Review: Attack of the special effects.
Summary: 3 Stars

This film looks amazing on DVD. Since it was shot digitally, there is absolutely no grain or color saturation, and on a high-end system it will simply knock you out of your seat, from a visual and audio standpoint. Unfortunately, the slim plot and, more importantly the never-ending onslaught of visual effects will leave you numb by the film's end. George Lucas has never been one to skimp on the effects, but even by his standards this one is just saturated with creatures, ships, buildings, lights, small unindentifiable alien things just buzzing all over the place. I found it exhausting and actually distracting at times. Do not flame this review, as I realize this is a minority opinion and will probably grossly offend true Star Wars fans. These films still are good pop sci-fi, although so far the original trilogy has held up much better for me than their 90's counterparts.

DVD Review: Seems To Be With Every Prequel, It's Anakin's Actor That Ruins the Film
Summary: 4 Stars

This time its Hayden Christensen who ruins it for me but its not only him. The performances in the "romantic" scenes between him and Natalie Portman are as wooden as the government, which I blame on Lucas. The original Star Wars and episode 1 had no romantic scenes, so I'll give those some slack but when it came to the burgeoning romance between Han Solo and Princess Leia in episodes 5 and 6, someone else wrote the screenplay while Lucas developed the story. Why he felt he needed to write the whole thing for this I'll never know. But alas those are the only negative points of this film. Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan is now a Jedi Knight and teacher to Christensen's Skywalker. Christensen portrays Skywalker as a complaining brat, and it astounds me that THIS is the man who became the most feared warrior in the galaxy. I know its supposed to show that the character is impatient and wants to move ahead in his training but to me that's how this guy's acting comes across to me. McGregor is still good as Obi-Wan, starting to show some of the elements that Alec McGuinness portrayed in the original film. Portman is good as Padm? (its just the romance scenes that I don't like), able to portray a woman torn between her duty and her feelings. Christopher Lee joins the franchise as Jedi turned Sith Count Dooku (a possible reference to his time as Dracula). He pulls off the charisma and charm that he's known for and I admire and he's pretty good with a lightsaber for the scenes in which he fights (I mean the REAL actor, NOT his stand-in). Yoda is now a digital character, which doesn't bother me as much, seeing as how the character finally gets to fight. Samuel L. Jackson, like Yoda, has more to do and is the first Jedi to have different colored lightsaber blade. I like the aspect of someone wanting to kill Senator Amidala in order to provoke a war between the Republic and the Sepratists. And since nobody likes Jar Jar anyway, he gets the blame for giving the Chancellor emergency powers to create the Clone Army, thus being inadvertently responsible for the creation of the Empire and the destruction of the Jedi. The action sequences are excellent, the fight at Geonosis and the fights that follow being the best. John Williams provides another excellent score, providing a haunting, melodic love theme for Anakin and Padm?.

DVD Review: STAR WARS EPISODE II (FULL SCREEN)
Summary: 5 Stars

If your a fan of star wars like me you will want to get this movie. nuff said!

DVD Review: Excellent Story
Summary: 5 Stars

Buying this is worth the investment if you even remotely enjoyed the movies. It's hard to keep track of a story line and characters over 3 decades and my original, lukewarm reviews were unwarranted. But, as you watch seemingly unfinished, abrupt endings; you understand that Lucas had a single, LONG movie in his head and simply broke it up into 6.

Once you experience all 6 in a shorter period of time; the story jumps out with excitement and you realize how good this series turned out. It helps to have your kids present to explain the story behind each character.

It's a wonderful, intriguing and relevant story.

Description of Star Wars - Episode II, Attack of the Clones (Widescreen Edition)

The STAR WARS saga continues on DVD with Episode II Attack of the Clones. Anakin Skywalker has grown into an accomplished Jedi apprentice, and he faces his most difficult challenge yet as he must choose between his Jedi duty and forbidden love. Relive the adventure the way it was meant to be seen in spectacular digital clarity, including the climactic Clone War battle and Jedi Master Yoda in the ultimate lightsaber duel. Experience this 2-disc set that features over six hours of bonus materials, and see how Episode II unlocks the secrets of the entire STAR WARS saga.
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, Padm? 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
