Whew!!
Just got talked off the ledge!!!
I have been reassured by friends and family that I am not George Lucas.
-What a relief-
I chose a jump of my apartment window as the method of suicide because I thought killing myself by watching Attack of the Clones was too painful a death!!!
Back to the critique
Attack of the Clones made me do something that I never thought a Star Wars movies would..........
.........it made want to walk out of the theatre!!!!!!!!!!!
Now that is saying a lot...........because I can stomach even the worse movie.
I stayed and watched Madonna's "Swept Away".
There are only two good scenes in Attack of the Clones
1. The chase of the Queen's assassins through the streets of Coruscant,-the scene had a nice film noir quality to it that I thought was unique to Star Wars, when I saw that sequence I though Attack of the Clones was going to a stylish Blade Runner type adventure delving into a realistic decent into Anakins darkside.
Unfortunately the movie never turned in that direction
2. Anakin escoting Amidala back to Naboo. Nice scene in that it gave the "potential" for some good dialogue between Amidala and Anakin. And it almost did............until Anakin and Amidala basically dissed Artoo in public!!!!!!!!!!!!
Artoo Detoo is more useful and intelligent than anyone in the entire Prequel trilogy
-Does better acting too!!!!!!!!
3. The Battle on Caminio between Jango Fett and Obi- Wan. -A well done, visually appealing battle that for a few minutes gave me feelings of the OT films.
That's it.
The rest of ATOC is pure unmitigated..............DRIVEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
