you: george lucas can’t write dialogue
me, absolutely tearing myself apart with hysterical laughter after witnessing c3po’s disembodied head look sadly at his body and say “i’m beside myself” in a dejected tone: you fools. you absolute lowbrow heathens. how could you not understand the depth of this message
Review by brat pitt ★★½ 17

i'm convinced that anakin subconsciously used the force to make padme slowly fall in love with him because there's simply no way a queen/galactic senator would EVER get with a creepy, whiny child murderer with a mini ponytail
Review by Randolph 18

Natalie Portman is the reason I work out. I have this fantasy where we start talking at the Vanity Fair Oscars party bar. We exchange a few pleasantries. She asks what I do. I say I loved her in New Girl. She laughs. I get my drink.
"Well, see ya," I say and walk away. I've got her attention now. How many guys voluntarily leave a conversation with Natalie Portman? She touches her neck as she watches me leave.
Later, as the night's dragged on and the coterie of gorgeous narcissists grows increasingly loose, she finds me on the balcony, my bowtie undone, smoking a cigarette.
"Got a spare?" she asks.
"What's in it for me?" I say as I…

Still can’t decide if this or the phantom menace is worse. Who cares, they’re both hilarious!

Nothing gets me more hot and bothered then when I'm on a romantic picnic with a guy at a scenic waterfall retreat and he tells me he supports a fascist regime.

89/100
George Lucas's Star Wars saga - a mythological amalgamation of Kurosawa, F.W. Murnau, Flash Gordon etc. - is radicalized through the vivid prospect of advancing technology. If the evolution of film form is just as dependent on the gear as the artists behind the camera, then Lucas is undoubtedly one of the greats (even when casting aside box office totals and, to quote Spaceballs, "merchandizing, merchandizing, merchandizing!"), but Lucas weaves tech progression into the narrative itself. While The Phantom Menace was a visceral puzzle piece birthed out of 70s blockbuster ingenuity, then Attack of the Clones is a heads-first operatic dive into the sunset of a society, a galaxy, a government. Its politics are ambiguous and undefined - as…
Review by Wes ★★★ 7

this movie is pretty cool but i cant help but think about how better it would be if it was an arthouse lesbian romantic drama about padme and one of her handmaidens running away from the war to start a farm together in the outer rim and they lived happily ever after away from anakins bullshit
Review by James (Schaffrillas) ★ 32

This is such a fucking trainwreck in every conceivable way. I legitimately wanted to vomit watching Padme fall in love with a literal sociopath who murders not just the men, but the women, and the children too. This is the worst Star Wars film by a country mile. At least it has memes

In this house we believe in Hayden Christensen supremacy.

"Oh my goodness! Shut me down. Machines building machines. How perverse."
Review by Neil Bahadur ★★★★½ 5

"If Attack Of The Clones remains the least satisfying of Lucas’s four Star Wars films on a dramatic level, it’s made up for by its being the most formally inventive of the entire series, and the most experimental structurally. Furthermore, it represents perhaps the peak of Lucas’s skills as inventor. While The Phantom Menace was still shot on 35mm, on locations and studio sets, AOTC is filmed almost entirely with green-screen, rejecting a filmed ‘reality’ for fully integrated CGI spaces and characters. Whereas the prior film integrated artificial characters into ‘real’ spaces, this second film now integrates ‘real’ people into artificial worlds. Taken in this sense, Attack Of The Clones is not only a revolutionary work, but one of the single most influential films of the 21st Century. "
Again, Lucas cannot properly be analyzed with words alone, more here:

Trash.
Why you gotta do Natalie Portman dirty like that.

why were the prequels so horny for negative space
Review by Kyle Carson ★★

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I don’t like sand. It’s coarse, rough and irritating. And it gets everywhere.
Truly iconic line. And all for the wrong reasons. This film is tough. I just can’t help but feel like it should of been pretty good...but it’s not. So many iconic characters, so many good actors, and yet the end result is so odd and fumbled. There is a lot about this film i found really strange.
Straight from the off, this film does an impressive job of looking worse than the trilogy that precedes it by 2 decades. The opening scene is padme’s ship flying over Coruscant, preparing to land. I’m pretty sure it’s entirely CGI, from the ship itself, to the planet and the buildings.…

fav star wars movie. all you needa know
Review by falafelpapi ★★½

Not very good, the CGI sucks ass like Phantom Menace. I like it more than Episode I, I think it’s a lot less boring, the cringe and the edginess make it more endearing. I thought the Obi Wan stuff was cool and the love story is okay sometimes. Why didn’t they go back for Anakin’s mom sooner?
Review by xxrxn31 ★★★★★

Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the children, too. They're like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals. I HATE THEM.
Padme: It’s okay to be angry :P
Review by kyrahatesfilm ★★

literally so bad i would say more but watching it was so draining and now i have to go to sleep. hayden christianson and natalie portman are hot though
Review by MacDuff403 ★½

I mean, in hindsight, the theme of "alienated incel is angsty and goes on a killing spree against a marginalized group" aged well, which is unfortunate. god Anakin sucks as a character. run away Natalie Portman! run away!
the star.5 is for the following:
-I enjoy that both leads from ONCE WERE WARRIORS (1994) have roles in this movie. In my house, we stan Temuera Morrison, Rena Owen, and Kiwi cinema. Once Taika Waititi starts directing, Star Wars' journey to the Kiwi side will be complete.
-Ewan McGregor, well whaddaya know!
-have to say the songs on the soundtrack kinda slap – magnificent aren't they?
-memes from this movie have held their value.
Review by sophia

how messed up in your mind do you have to be to fall in love (after about a week) with a whiny psychotic creep and tell him how deeply in love you are with him only a couple hours after he tells you he slaughtered an entire tribe of tusken raiders (the women and the children too)

if your first crush growing up was anakin you are either hot as fuck now or mentally ill aka me

It feels so lonely liking this movie as much as I do. Oh well. I’ll die on this hill if I have to.
