Reviews for The Clone Wars
Feels very much like the television pilot that it is.
02/10/09
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.
11/21/08
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.
11/04/08
...little plot and almost nothing but redundant action. It becomes tiresome very fast.
11/04/08
It moves fast, conquers armies, kicks into hyperspace and spits out idiotic quips with unapologetic cartoon brio.
10/18/08
Top CriticStrong new characters are disappointingly thin on the ground.
10/18/08
If this film is any indication of the quality of the forthcoming television series, it will be blessedly short-lived.
10/18/08
The visuals are worthy, but the big screen brings the movie's script shortcomings and pacing problems into sharper relief.

10/18/08
Here are six words that would probably get me tarred and feathered at a comic-book convention: I am sick of Star Wars.
10/18/08
The supposed playful banter between Anakin and the feisty Ahsoka is particularly cringe-worthy.
10/01/08
The Force has lost its oomph. Lucas and friends have finally gone a franchise too far.
09/19/08
Even with the bar having been lowered by the vacuous, overblown prequels though, 'Clone Wars' takes things to crass new lows
09/11/08
The action sequences are kinetic and hold the eye, the animation style is detailed and it remains within the boundaries of the canon.
08/31/08
The best thing about this massive TV pilot-cum-new "Episode" is its potential because even if it's flawed and only partially functional as a film, The Clone Wars embodies one of the essential elements that has for decades sustained the Star Wars saga %u20
08/29/08
The characters are more likable than usual.
08/29/08
For a film that primarily exists to serve as a feature-length coming attraction for the next phase of a popular franchise, The Clone Wars is a mostly enjoyable bit of escapist entertainment
