Synopsis: In the second installment of the Star Wars series, EPISODE II--ATTACK OF THE CLONES, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is now a teenage Jedi apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor).... In the second installment of the Star Wars series, EPISODE II--ATTACK OF THE CLONES, Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) is now a teenage Jedi apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor). Together they must protect Senator Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) from a militant group of political activists that is trying to assassinate her. This group is led by the evil Count Dooku (Christopher Lee). Among other troubles, Anakin faces some hard choices as he begins to fall for Padme, knowing this love is forbidden by the Jedi knights' creed. In addition, Anakin begins to show his rebellious attraction to the dark side--which will eventually conquer him, when he becomes the future Darth Vader. The story is set 10 years after STAR WARS EPISODE I: THE PHANTOM MENACE, and there are appearances by some of PHANTOM's characters, including Jar Jar Binks. CLONES also brings back familiar faces from the original STAR WARS: the lovable droids R2D2 and C3PO, and Yoda, who plays a key role in this film. Lucas creates an impressive array of beautifully rendered alien planets and beings, sleek spaceships, and dazzling effects; he remains at the head of the class in terms of technical ability and visual imagination. The film's climactic final sequences show the magic with which CLONES' earns its place as part of the beloved STAR WARS series. [More]

Reviews for Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
...less irritating than its immediate predecessor — but it may be going too far to say it’s a better movie. It may be going too far to say it’s a movie at all
Es divertida, visualmente espectacular y muy entretenida. Simple y sencillamente te sorprenderá.
Lucas returns the series to its roots, delivering a cartoon-like adventure that uses special effects to enhance rather than replace storytelling.
While it's not quite what the first three were, it's on the right track. This one definitely is an improvement from `Episode 1'.
If you fell asleep within the first fifteen minutes or so of this movie, and only woke up before the last forty minutes or so, the truth is that you wouldn't miss much.
Se Obi-Wan e Yoda continuarem a brilhar desta forma, duvido que o Império dos Pessimistas consiga derrubar o trabalho do Mestre Lucas.
The film is probably worth seeing for the sheer spectacle of it all, for the sake of obtaining valuable information, and for finding more closure on a story that has always been missing several pieces.
As bright as a light saber, George Lucas strikes back with stunning imagery and the best ending yet to his popular series.
The battling Yoda looks ludicrous, like Kermit the Frog in a Matrix fight scene.
less Jar Jar, no discussion of taxes and trade blockades, and more Jedis, violence, and sex appeal
Lucas has never been able to conjure another Han Solo, a character who could, with simply a wink, remind us that this was just an overgrown Saturday afternoon serial.
In the end, what I appreciated most was the unpredictability of it all.
Clones largely brings everything together, deepening the arc of the entire story ... and restoring the mythological grandeur that helped establish the series in the first place.
What Lucas needs to wrap up this franchise properly is a return to the fundamentals: less overplotted hooey, more thick blue liquid.
