Attack of the poor script

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones (2002)

Written and directed by George Lucas this film stars Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen and Ian McDiarmid. Obi Wan and Anakin investigate the attempted assassination of Senator Amidala.

Largely this is a pretty average film but comes with one major flaw that really undermines the whole film and maybe even the trilogy. When Anakin murders a whole village of sand people this should be the point at which he falls to evil but it seems to have little consequence and when confessed to Amidala, who is supposed to be good through and through, she does not give a toss. Mostly the film is well made but often falls into indulgences of excess with special effects which tends to lose the characters with in a blur of action.


2/5
