 "George Lucas returns as a visionary with a tale full of nuance and character dimension."
-- Victoria Alexander, FILMSINREVIEW.COM
"Dozens of moments catch you up and take your breath away."
-- Jeffrey M. Anderson, COMBUSTIBLE CELLULOID
 "It's better than The Phantom Menace. But unless you're an absolute raving Star Wars junkie, it isn't much fun."
-- Todd Anthony, SOUTH FLORIDA SUN-SENTINEL
"It's all about Anakin ... and the lustrous polished visuals rich in color and creativity and, of course, special effect."
-- Ross Anthony, HOLLYWOOD REPORT CARD
"Millions of dollars heaped upon a project of such vast proportions need to reap more rewards than spiffy bluescreen technique and stylish weaponry."
-- Jeanne Aufmuth, AUFMUTH.COM
"This film is too busy hitting all of its assigned marks to take on any life of its own."
-- Joe Baltake, SACRAMENTO BEE
"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."
-- Matt Brunson, CREATIVE LOAFING
"An entertainment so in love with its overinflated mythology that it no longer recognizes the needs of moviegoers for real characters and compelling plots."
-- Robert W. Butler, KANSAS CITY STAR
"Basically, it's pretty but dumb."
-- Catherine Cantieri, HOLECITY.COM
"It's still got enough magic to coast on sheer goodwill."
-- Shay Casey, DAILY-REVIEWS
"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."
-- Jim Chastain, NORMAN TRANSCRIPT
"Meant for Star Wars fans. It is there to give them a good time."
-- Jeffrey Chen, WINDOW TO THE MOVIES
"Wonder, hope and magic can never escape the heart of the boy when the right movie comes along, especially if it begins with the name of Star Wars"
-- Erik Childress, EFILMCRITIC.COM

"It's exactly the big fix of Saturday-matinee adventure, blazing special effects, inside humor and sly self-references for which its fans have been lusting."
-- William Arnold, SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER
"Es divertida, visualmente espectacular y muy entretenida. Simple y sencillamente te sorprenderá."
-- Jorge Avila Andrade, MOVIOLA
"...as the story congeals you feel the pieces of the Star Wars saga falling into place in a way that makes your spine tingle with revelation and excitement."
-- Rob Blackwelder, SPLICEDWIRE
"My precious new Star Wars movie is a lumbering, wheezy drag..."
-- Sean Burns, PHILADELPHIA WEEKLY
"Now THIS is a Star Wars movie. Attack of the Clones has much more rooted into the Star Wars universe as we know it."
-- Eric Campos, MARS COLONY
"Star Wars is back in a major way."
-- Larry Carroll, COUNTINGDOWN.COM
"Preposterous love story aside, Clones is really not that bad."
-- Carlo Cavagna, ABOUTFILM.COM
"Its screenplay serves as auto-critique, and its clumsiness as its own most damning censure."
-- Walter Chaw, FILM FREAK CENTRAL
"It’s an ambitious film, and as with all ambitious films, it has some problems. But on the whole, you’re gonna like this movie."
-- Cory Cheney, URBAN TULSA WEEKLY
"George, hire a real director and good writers for the next installment, please."
-- Robin Clifford, REELING REVIEWS

Avg. Rating: 5.9/10 |
"Much-anticipated and ultimately lackluster movie."
-- John Anderson, NEWSDAY
"A decidedly mixed bag."
-- David Ansen, NEWSWEEK
"Lucas has in fact come closer than anyone could desire to the cheap, graceless, hackneyed sci-fi serials of the '30s and '40s."
-- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE
"In a time when, more often than not, sequels disappoint, it's refreshing to uncover something this high-profile that fulfils the promise of its name and adds another title to a storied legacy."
-- James Berardinelli, JAMES BERARDINELLI'S REELVIEWS
"For those of us who respond more strongly to storytelling than computer-generated effects, the new Star Wars installment hasn't escaped the rut dug by the last one."
-- Mark Caro, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
"No screen fantasy-adventure in recent memory has the showmanship of Clones' last 45 minutes."
-- Mike Clark, USA TODAY
"It's dark but has wonderfully funny moments; you care about the characters; and the action and special effects are first-rate."
-- Paul Clinton, CNN
"At the end, when the now computerized Yoda finally reveals his martial artistry, the film ascends to a kinetic life so teeming that even cranky adults may rediscover the quivering kid inside."
-- Richard Corliss, TIME MAGAZINE
"Episode II-- Attack of the Clones is a technological exercise that lacks juice and delight."
-- Roger Ebert, CHICAGO SUN-TIMES
"Too close to Phantom Menace for comfort."
-- Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, ATLANTA JOURNAL-CONSTITUTION
|

"All...Lucas appears to be capable of these days is producing
enough fireworks in his last act to elicit hope in his audience
that his next installment will be better"
-- Laura Clifford, REELING REVIEWS
