Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones plot

"A Jedi Shall Not Know Anger. Nor Hatred. Nor Love."

Padmé Amidala, who has finished her tenure as Queen of Naboo and is now serving in the Senate, narrowly escapes an attempt on her life twice. Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi's apprentice Anakin is tasked with protecting her, and something beautiful begins to bloom between the two. Meanwhile, Obi Wan investigates the links between the assassination attempts, a separatist movement led by former Jedi Count Dooku, and the building of a clone army on a remote planet.

“I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything is soft and smooth.”

In Attack of the Clones, we see an Anakin who grew up under the care of Obi-Wan Kenobi. Where The Phantom Menace was a rather standalone film within the Star Wars universe, Attack of the Clones really works towards the world as we got to know it in A New Hope. We are introduced to the clones/stormtroopers, the origin of the Empire, and the plan of Darth Sidious also becomes clearer.

Attack of the Clones is a very unbalanced film that is characterized by almost cringe-inducing dialogue, a Hayden Christensen who does not convince as Anakin, and an excessive use of CGI. The scenes between Anakin and Padmé are appallingly weak, and the blossoming love between the two becomes torture for the viewer. One last flaw is the editing. The transition from one scene to another is not always smooth. Fortunately, Attack of the Clones also does a lot of things right. All the scenes with Obi-Wan are interesting, and McGregor is more convincing as a master than as an apprentice. From the moment Anakin avenges his mother and sets out with Padmé to rescue Obi-Wan, to the final battle on Geonosis, you'll be captivated. Yoda is almost nowhere better, and his lightsaber fight with Count Dooku remains great. Excellent acting performances also from Christopher Lee, Samuel L. Jackson and Ian McDiarmid, among others. A Star Wars movie is always entertaining and Attack of the Clones has high peaks, but also very deep valleys.

Decent sequel. Fiercely revolves around Anakin and Princess Amidala and the separatist movement growing under the leadership of Count Dooku. Christopher Lee, of course, can play the villain like no other. Without him, Saruman would never have been this cool in LOTR either. There was, in my opinion, more action in this film. Now I don't always find that interesting with Star Wars, strangely enough. Robots shooting at each other say little. The arena scene is pretty good too, especially the beginning of it. Closing today with that last part.
