A complete gas to more open-minded fans, and assured catnip to children. The occasional sexually-ambiguous Hutt or sassmouthed, premenstrual Jedi aside, it's an exciting picture and a tempting commencement for the TV series.
Jun 2, 2010
70 percent action, 5 percent exposition and 24 percent forced banter ... that's just 1 percent left over for committee meetings and C-Span-worthy parliamentary maneuvering -- proceedings that have so fascinated George Lucas in the past.

Feels very much like the television pilot that it is.
Feb 10, 2009
Its elements are actually quite typical of a syndicated cartoon series, aimed mostly at the young'uns and contributing pretty much nothing to the Star Wars mythos.

Despite Ahsoka's cloying presence, The Clone Wars is still easier to take than Attack of the Clones.

This "First Animated Star Wars Movie" does the series no favors, demonstrating why live action trumps animation--at least when the digital beings and creatures are this poorly designed.
Nov 4, 2008
...little plot and almost nothing but redundant action. It becomes tiresome very fast.
Nov 4, 2008
Strong new characters are disappointingly thin on the ground.
Oct 18, 2008
It moves fast, conquers armies, kicks into hyperspace and spits out idiotic quips with unapologetic cartoon brio.

If this film is any indication of the quality of the forthcoming television series, it will be blessedly short-lived.
Oct 18, 2008
The visuals are worthy, but the big screen brings the movie's script shortcomings and pacing problems into sharper relief.

Here are six words that would probably get me tarred and feathered at a comic-book convention: I am sick of Star Wars.
Oct 18, 2008
The supposed playful banter between Anakin and the feisty Ahsoka is particularly cringe-worthy.
