I mean people complain that Anakin is whiny and I'm like yeah he's 19 years old with no social skills

Rest in peace, Count

Episode 2 was my first star Wars movie and I love it, whatever they say.

I loveeeeeeee episode 2 and i love the prequels!

6:15, I’m really sad to say this, but unfortunately Christopher Lee passed away in 2015. He was an awesome actor and the role he played as Count Dooku was only one of the many great roles he played in his life

All 6 star wars movies are ONE! N i loveeeeeeee them all!

If only the new Diseny movies were remotely as good as this!

Prequel hate Vs prequel love: I love the prequels as a man who saw the first Star Wars at a drive in in 77 i love these movies more and more as time goes on,a Friend of mine summed it up best regarding people who hate the prequels. "The Movies did not change,THEY DID!." and he is right as we entered a global system that grows more and more corrupt each day many of us became critical each day,hardened by the world. but in truth these movies are the flip side of a very big coin and very different but the preqs. set up the middle trilogy that we all love in a very very good way! and i am very very thankful to George of completing this wonderful backstory,is it slow sometimes? yes! is their to many things on screen sometimes? yes! are their some things that seemed very funny to George but were a painful distraction for the audience? yes! as if a kid with a new toy went a little far in places with all the CGI but these things pale in comparison to an overall great story. I do not watch Star Wars as a critical adult.I let go completley and see it through the eyes of an 8 year old boy who was transported to a galaxy far far Away. and i feel sorry for the haters who cannot let go and be a kid and experience the wonder and majesty that are "All of these movies." and that includes 1-3.

Along with Revenge of Sith, Attack of the Clones is not only one of the best Star Wars movies it’s also one of the last great examples of American cinema. Remember watching these DVD featurettes back when I was in Film School. Lucas is arguably the greatest Film maker of all time, certainly the greatest American writer/director. I always thought of Clones as a sortve Rebel without a cause set in space and is a great testament to the Old Hollywood Lucas grew up watching.

Can’t imagine how hard it must for George to have been to have everyone hate Episode 1 and 2. Yet he still went through with his Vision

Funfact- I go to the same high school that Natalie Portman went to back in 1999, Syosset High School.

I saw the Original Trilogy as a kid and the Prequel Trilogy as an adult. And to be honest . . . I love both trilogies very much. I really do. In fact, "EMPIRE STRIKES BACK" and "ATTACK OF THE CLONES" are my two favorite SW movies. I guess I have an affinity for the middle films. They are usually the most interesting to me.

it was beautiful and made so much sense

Hahah, and we used to think *this* was the bad one!

“They’re put into these extreme settings, because they’re in hiding…” Cut to Padmé wearing a beautiful elegant dress and climbing out of a Venetian gondola and walking into the most beautiful island ever.

I have'nt seen this in yrs. These were just some of the best Featurettes. Thanks so much for Uploading.

I love all the Star Wars films prequel or original. Call me crazy if you like but I think the prequels had a somewhat deeper storyline that was told that the originals. The originals however had the better execution of their storylines

I love this movie

I love how people say the original trilogy is better because they have nostalgia glasses. They are the same. If you search for a good plot in a SW movie, you're better off finding a love story in Twilight. They're all blockbusters, and if anything, acting is improved in the prequels, because of the simple fact that hollywood acting evolved massively since the 70-80's

Count Dooku is by far my favorite villain of the saga. I didnt like him in Clone Wars though. I liked how he was more of a politician in the movies. In the show, he was basically like every other sith.

I think the story of the prequels is rather good, it was just the execution that felt a bit off. Too reliant on CGI, actors not giving quite the best performance, some dialogue that could have used a second look. The overall story I enjoyed, I think some other elements just needed tweaking to help the movies flow more smoothly.

I still like this movie whatever anyone says

Anakin: Not allowed to shag *Turns to the dark side*

I guess we can say they had good intentions that people just didn't connect with

It is not "unfair" it is perfectly fair criticising. People address all of the problems in both Trilogies, and determine which one is best. That's as fair as it gets. Accept it.

A great film with a political plot !

2:17 the focus is the matte painting or the story?

part 3 and 5 are the best

True, I may have used the term a bit to eagerly. I was searching for a synonym to ignorance and be nicer really ^^. It's just what I see: people bringing unfair and illogical arguments in the OT vs prequels. And I would have to contradict you on one aspect: a critic, in order to be professional, needs to at least strive to detach himself emotionally in order to evaluate a product, artistic or otherwise.

5:10 Holy shit a cameo of Joel Edgerton

Ohh two different people in a pretty environment. They must fall in love!

6:20 This shot always looked weird to me in the movie. Like why did he do this move with both hands swinging from the top. THIS explains it, originially he used two laser swords. Damn... mystery solved

How Evil evolves...hmmm...interesting sentence.

I love George, but "Nay-boo?"

All 6 Star Wars films are amazing and all the fans above this bullshit prequels vs. sequels bubble will agree with me.

I mean if it wasn't for this movie it wouldn't introduced us clone wars which is the best star wars tv show ever

The love story is the big issue. Padme says he's making her uncomfortable, he's totally creepy toward her, then she's all the sudden like "I love you" poorly directed. Obi Wans scenes are the best ones. I wish they didn't screw it up

People that complain about Anakin are the same people who think MCU spidey is peak Marvel.... or any of those MCU movies for that matter 🤣🤣 I bet they also like the Disney sequels.

The love story between Anakin and Padme is so corny? The dialogs? Oh, and the one between Han Solo and Leia in "The Empire Strikes Back" are not? Compare the dialogue. There are worse things. Don't get me wrong: "The Empire Strikes Back" isn't bad. But I think it's unfair to attack the love story in the episode. 2 so violently. It's not like, as if the old movies have been perfectly flawless.

3:26 That face

It's mostly the story I want to see more than the acting or CGI (Maybe)

what if yoda suddenly wanted to pwn all the younglings

Not saying it was bat. I am just saying that people tend to look at the original trilogy with nostalgia glasses, instead of actually appreciating them. And I get that. But that doesn't mean the prequels are worse than them. Apart from them having more flashy action, instead of having more "Oooh" moments, they are the same. People like me, who saw both trilogies at roughly the same age, view them as being equally good.Most that saw the original when they were kids usualy don nostalgia glasses

Actually, in the book Padme tells anakin that its impossible to die of childbirth in their time when he tells her about his dream. They just don't include that in the movie...so yea...sorry...

The Clone Wars series had a ton of good story.. Out of the Prequel movies this is the only one that I feel like I need to deal with and have a hard tome enjoying

go star wars

5:12 Please select a fleet to command.

she lost the will to live, there's nothing you can do about that in any galaxy...

"if anything, acting is improved in the prequels." Oh my days that comment made me sick.. Ian mcdiarmid, christopher lee and ewan mcgregor's performances were the only real stand-outs in the prequels. But the originals had Harrison ford, carrie fisher, mark hamill, ian mcdiarmid again, anthony daniels, peter cushing, billy dee williams, james earl jones, frank oz with both the voice and the puppet, peter mayhew, kenneth colley, elec guiness and so SO many more fantastic original performances.

where is episode 5 end

6:53 whats that score?

+HenryJonesVictor The parts of this story: Powerful groups are threatening to secede from the Republic. A mystery surrounding Padme's assassination attempt, possibly because of her opposition to the Military Creation Act. A clone army suddenly becomes available out of nowhere right when the Republic is on the brink of civil war. A love story. Why were the separatists seceding and why should I care? This is never clearly explained. I guess Dooku was behind the assassination attempt... so he wanted the Military Creation Act to pass... and he was being directed by Palpatine... so Palpatine wanted a military... but the act wasn't actually passed and they got a military anyway... but Palpatine suggests that Padme would have supported him getting emergency powers and acted like she was necessary... so I guess Padme was against the Military Creation Act but she would have voted in favor of giving him powers to lead the army they just got... but maybe he was lying when he suggests Padme would have supported him... but maybe Palpatine was aware of the Clone army because Jango was the base of the clones, and he was hired by Dooku who's controlled by Palpatine... so Palpatine was aware of the Clone Army and that the Military Creation Act was unnecessary and he was having Padme killed even though he thought Padme was necessary to get emergency powers... though maybe he knew that someone else would help him and he didn't need Padme... but maybe he knew he didn't needed her to get emergency powers and he knew the assassination attempt would be traced to Dooku... and he wouldn't appear like he was connected with a person who hired an assassin to assassinate someone whom he needed to get his emergency powers... and maybe Palpatine was behind the Clone army, even though the Prime Minister of Kamino said it was a leading member of the Jedi Council who requested the clones... a member who's not mentioned before or ever again and whose name sounds eerily close to Sidious, (which was more or less the name in the original script)... but maybe it was a complete coincidence that Jango was the genetic model of the clones and the would-be assassin of Padme... and it's not entirely clear in the movie who hired Jango to assassinate Padme. Basically, no part of the movie's plot makes any sense, and despite almost nothing going according to to Palpatine's plan, like in The Phantom Menace, he got everything he wanted, also like in The Phantom Menace. The Clone Army was just requested by one of the member of the Jedi Council and he just didn't tell anyone. Jango is the genetic model for the clones, but that's not explained either. In a previous draft of the script, it's made clear that it wasn't a Jedi who requested the clones and that the person who requested it was named "Sido-Dyas." The love story fucking sucks, lol.

4:12

I am not sure how you define 'nostalgia glasses' but I think its an unfair device since you can basically accuse anyone who prefers the OT of being nostalgic rather than fairly critical of the OT. Who is to say that nostalgia represents a problem for a constructive criticism anyway? The critic cannot divorce himself emotionally anymore than a movie can exist without being overshadowed or influenced by a cultural legacy

would you please watch Plinketts reviews of the prequels.

Are you actually saying the acting in the original trilogy was bad, because if you are, that is such a wrong statement. The acting was brilliant, exagerated and worked. The prequels were so much better visually, but the whole story and drama just seemed bland.

1:07 Rick McCallum looks an awful lot like a Vulcan to be working on a Star Wars film.

Anakin is the passionate one and Padme is the one who maintains they can't be together. This might have made sense in some version of this story, (in the novelization, maybe), or in a previous draft of the script, but it really doesn't here. We aren't given any indication of why a Senator would be unable to have romance despite her love for Anakin, and Anakin barely ever seems remotely restrained. The closest he comes to restraint was when he was voicing his rationalizing of his his feelings and equating love with compassion, even though he said two sentences earlier it would have to be a love without attachment, which seems like a contradiction because he was talking about not being with the people he love. I guess it's understandable that Anakin doesn't heed his duties at all, (really, some restraint as opposed to none would have been better), but that the writers expected us just to believe that Padme has a reason to believe she can't be with Anakin because she's a senator is somewhat insulting. It's also bothersome that it almost feels like the writers just forgot about the context of the romance and made Anakin the passionate and Padme the restrained when the context should have demanded the roles were switched. I guess George wanted Anakin, (the man), to be passionate and Padme, (the woman), to be inhibited, even though it didn't make sense within the story at that point.

@TRE1275 You have to be crasy to think that man OPEN your eyes Ok its not he old star wars but man your are very wrong....

what the hell are you talking about???

I accept your opinion, but this is my version :) There is no Prequel Trilogy There is no expansion around the Prequel Trilogy There is, however, the glory of the Expanded Universe ...and... The Original Trilogy. When someone says Star Wars, I assume they mean the Original Trilogy. That's what it means to me.

why should I watch it? Can't I, or you for that matter think for yourself?I tried to for some unexplainable reason. Apart from the bias he was coming from, all I heard from his review was his annoyance at the change of atmosphere in the movie, and poor critic towards the directional value of the film, and crediting WAT too much to the "original" trilogy. I do not understand the value of a review in evaluating a movie. It's not even a prof. critique, if it were it would make sense listening.

It was kinda funny seeing Samuel L Jackson bullshit his way through the interview here by saying this film brings back the spirit of the old films. It was anything but that

6:23 joe Biden is palatine

Worst of the original six, and yet still a great movie.

It's funny that those who love these prequel films so devotedly think that the only reason folks don't like them is that they're in some kind of sexual bondage with its critics. :) Some kind of sexual frisson in hating films as a collective. Strong identification with ≠ ideological devotion to. The problem is that many folks who have grown up with them (the prequel movies) have done so thinking that's how good films are (Edit: to clarify, I'm one of them). (I feel sorry for the latest generation having to contend with the latest cinematic diarrhea and identifying _that_ with good movie-making.) I have no strong feeling toward such people either way. It's just that I feel sorry for them, and their unfortunate taste in films. That's it. I care for the art form, and, as such, would like to think of my self as more than just 'a drooling idiot who likes lightsabers'. I feel a 'true' devotee would love star wars far too much to merely accept anything made as long as it bares the label; if anything, _that's_ what acting blindly servile toward a perceived authority is.

WTF. Watch the Red letter Media reviews.

Attack of the Clones was my least favorite Star Wars film.

Stop bringing this up. You're boring and it's boring. People do not say that the Original Trilogy is better because they have "nostalgia glasses". Your idea of "nostalgia glasses" is just a quick and easy way of dismissing their opinion, which, may I point out, is not believable and does not work. Their thoughts on the films have nothing to do with nostalgia, it has to do with the quality of the story. In the Prequels, from my point of view, the characters are weak and two-dimensional. (>)

Too bad there was no real 'chemistry' between Darth and Padme...
