Arguably the best movie of the new trilogy, Attack of the Clones boasts an amazing battle scene on Geonosis, the secret to the mysterious beginnings of the Storm Troopers, an introduction to young Boba Fett, the beheading of Jengo Fett at the hands of Mace Windu and his purple light saber, and of course, the duel between Count Dooku and Yoda.
What drives the story, though, and what makes it most like the original trilogy, is the focus on the character's relationship with each other. You see a straine but loving father-son relationship develop between Obi-Wan and Anakin, a true and dangerous love develop between Anakin and Padme, and a sense of the growing turmoil within Anakin as he struggles with the difficulties he faces as he grows up. The focus on these elements make those aforementioned action elements all the better because you as the viewer are more involved with the characters on a more intimate level.
All in all, it may not live up the original trilogy's standards, but it's a great film with a little more Force than its predecessor, and a film that's worth watching over and over and over again.
Rating: 8.5/10
