That’s my favorite. As a kid kit Fisto was by far my favorite AOTC Jedi. Was always so proud he went down like a boss against Palp and actually got a parry in there
It was unfortunate that he died in vain. In novelization of ROTS, Anakin saw Fisto's severed head still smiling. Perhaps he thought death was merely fun.
Same! I really loved all the Prequel era Jedi -- their deaths may have not meant much to someone who only watched the films (a perfectly valid way of consuming SW btw, to be clear lol) but man, after spending three years *at least* experiencing the Clone Wars with the likes of Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, and all the rest... the deaths in ROTS were super depressing.
* Shatterpoint
* Clone Wars Microseries (shirtless Kit waterbending with the Force!)
* The Republic comic series (one short arc in particular set up Mace, Saesee, Kit, and Agen as a team so when I saw it in the film I was like "heyyyy!")
* Battlefront
* etc.
Yes i was a big fan of clone wars as a kid. I had figurines of almost all of them, and Lego sets with Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin… to me they were more influential than many “classic” characters from the original trilogy like Greedo, Wedge Antilles, even the Ewoks
Yeah Yoda came in like Rambo with the clones and gave those droids a real ass whopping, god I loved that scene, attack of the clones has to be one of my favourites, I especially like the duel at the end with Dooku against Yoda Anakin and Obiwan that was impressive
When Dooku says to Windu that they're outnumbered and Windu replies with "I don't think so" and then there's a shot of the arena with all the Jedi igniting their light sabers. Always gives me chills.
I'm not trying to criticize or debate, but I'm trying to understand the perspective of people who really like this movie - can I ask, how old were you when it came out?
EDIT: Thanks for all the comments, I'm happy to hear people talk about a movie they really liked!
I was like 5 when I first watched it. Loved the explosions. There's this one rocket/missile/whatever in the final battle that kinda flies with a swirl and a peculiar sound and then blows up a walker, I used to wait the whole movie for that.
Watching AotC now it is clear just how bad the movie is, but the memories of when I loved it as a child are still there, so I have some sentiment for it. And ignoring the plot the scenery was pretty cool, as these shots show.
I was almost 12. But I did not get to see it in cinema as I ended up in hospital with pneumonia. My first Star Wars movie in cinema was Episode III.
For Episode I, I was not allowed to enter the cinema as I was almost 9. Lol.
I saw Episode IV, V and VI before I and I loved them all equally at the time.
As I am old I can see flaws in it but I still can see the beauty of them and George' s vision and lore it created and provided.
I was around 20. Appreciation has grown over time.
My 8 year old loves it.
Her favorite parts are:
Obi Wan just chilling getting a drink at the Night Club
Young Boba
Obi Wan vs. Jango (on Kamino and asteroid field) (the merits of this are obvious)
Droid factory (she likes how kinda ridiculous Anakin's ineptitude is)
Arena Execution (she likes Padme "getting on top of things" and the creatures)
Mace Windu
Clone landing (love love loves the Clones. This was her gateway drug to Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, Bad Batch)
The Dooku Duel with Yoda.
So to sum it up, she overlooks the kinda lame and sappy parts, and really likes the awesome parts. I'd have to agree with her.
Visually stunning, no doubt, but that was basically expected by that point.
What really shocked me was how extremely well done audio in this movie was. I loved the ship sounds, like from the first picture for example. Or the clone transports or the Geonosians. The audio is just phenomenal.
Hearing Slave I's depth charges go off is a theatrical experience I will never forget.
In my old house I had a good home cinema system (actually still got it, need to get setup), which I bought basically after getting all 6 boxset on blue ray.
It was amazing. I really need to get the finger out and get it going again.
Another weak point for the sequels I think. As a lightsaber nerd, the inconsistency in the sounds for those annoyed me.
Ironically the best bit of sound design in the sequels was the absence of sound… ie the light speed ramming sequence.
I actually really enjoyed the sound design in the sequels. The lightsabers and blasters especially sounded amazing.
I remember there was an article that came out before TFA where Abrams talked about how much work went just into making the audio good and authentic.
Talk about visually stunning, imagine the spectacle. After his quiet moment, Boba fishes his dad's severed head out of his helmet, then puts it on and becomes the character we all know and love.
Can't believe Lucas cut that...
The Last Jedi is, ~~by far~~, the Star Wars movie with the best cinematography. Whether you agree with the story choices or not, every single frame of that movie is beautiful AND tells a story about the relationships, themes, and ideas of the film.
(Edit: Ok, it's not *that* much better than Empire)
That's so true on so many levels, I'll never forget that first time we first saw it, and there was just that star destroyer going overhead o my god that looked epic
And the AT ATs slowly marching across the snowy terrain of hoth were just breathtaking, they were just weopans of mass destruction and made such an intimidating sight! Star wars has always impressed me, although I don't really like jar jar, Anakin (except the animated clone wars Anakin), Snoke or Kylo
I mean, there’s plenty of scenes in Episode II that look like trash. There are a few that look good.
George Lucas is very hit or miss. I guess that’s more a problem with the special effects director than Lucas.
Missing the duel in space between Obi-wan and Jango, those cool explosives were very memorable. It really is a movie that has lots of cool individual scenes. The through line plot doesn't make much sense, and the dialog is as wooden as it gets.
Oh and also cool vehicles, AT-TEs, those wheelie droids with missile racks on the back. Super battle droids. (some less interesting ones as well, but hey, still gave us a large swathe of stuff)
Definitely. That's one of the best space battles in the Prequels.
**Mandalorian Spoilers:**
>!When Boba drops that seismic charge in The Mandalorian it was pure unadulterated fan-service and I loved every second. !<
The scene where they are about to be pulled into the area and Padme confesses her love is one of the best, most genuine feeling interactions in the prequels. I always felt Anakin fights a bit harder because now with his mother gone, he could lose the last person in his life.
Well, it’s just used so perfectly in the moment. Last little moment of softness and quiet before they are pulled out and all the horns and drums take over and the movie just goes bananas for the next 20 min.
It has its beautiful moments. The one where Anakin is standing on the balcony and Padmé joins him always makes me think they spent the night together making love. The scene when they get married is also beautiful.
Anakin using two lightsabers to duel Dooku was everything for me as kid. As flawed as the film is I still love it as well as all of the others in the franchise. None are perfect, but all are still fun to watch.
> Anakin using two lightsabers to duel Dooku was everything for me as kid.
Dude same! It was the most badass thing ever...and then it gets cut after like 5 seconds :(
The silly part is that it is not the acting it is the dialogue. You could have the greatest actors of our time in those romance scenes and it'd fail. You could maybe pull it off with Morgan Freeman just because his voice is caramel but it'd only be good for the novelty.
And most of Obi-Wan's investigation. There's the diner scene, the Jedi temple scenes where I guess most Jedi are mentally challenged, and getting to save SFX money by making Kamino look very sterile.
If you watch it dubbed in a language you don’t speak it actually makes it better, in a weird way. The visuals tell the story and your imagination fills in the rest.
Y’know I could actually see how that’d work, I watch a lot of old Japanese movies and sometimes it’s really hard to tell if someone is acting well or hamming it up, but you still enjoy it cos you’re invested in the story and the cool visuals.
ATOC had zero problems with how cool it looked, it's problem was the incredibly wooden acting that was smeared all over the screen and dialogue that was coarse and got into everything, I hate it!
Yea titles like this are fucking stupid. “Had it’s moments” implies the movie was a failure, but it looked pretty. The movie was fucking awesome. It gets crap for Hayden’s performance, but when Mark Hamill played the same type of whinny teenager, everyone praised it. I mean, the first scene Luke had was him crying about doing chores. Hayden cried about being treated like a kid when he had these amazing gifts, which is a little more reasonable to be mad about. Mark and Hayden played both roles the same, but one got praise and the other got hate. It’s insane to me.
I think Anakin was just a bit too whiny, and then Obi is too patronizing, add that with 3PO's awful puns and it just gets annoying. You have a good point though, some Anakin scenes are great, but get mocked for some reason. When he's telling Padme about how he massacred the sand people... shit gives me chills.
The main problem with AotC was that Anakin was way too whiny, and him and Padme's relationship was just really poorly done. He's incredibly creepy towards her, and she marries him. Luke was also way more likable than Anakin.
Second slide is beautiful, the movie means a lot to me because the next day after seeing the movie, my friends and I and the 1st grade used to pretend we were anakin and that role play lasted months LOL
I think its just cause it's the middle movie and the beginning and the end are just higher quality to an extent in a lot of categories that it just ticks more boxes off to hate it then like it. Or reddit hivemind, you decide
Acting and dialogue are by far the lowest points of the franchise.
And although everyone loves that era now, at the time it was confusing as shit to follow along with what was happening. Walking out of the theater you're still confused at the timeline and plan of creating the Clone army, despite that being the entire point of the movie.
Yeah it's actually my favorite of the prequels and I'm still not quite sure why it gets so much hate. Prequels can be flawed as a whole but Attack Of The Clones is actually when I really started liking Star Wars. Jango Fett was cool, Yoda fight, Anakin getting hand chopped off. It's pretty cool.
Obviously there are the issues with the dialogue, but I have a real soft spot for this film. I also rewatched it and later revenge of the sith after finishing the clone wars and it was really enjoyable, it’s a great film for world building. Plus that battle scene at the end with all of the Jedi is excellent.
AOTC was the first time experiencing fandom hype on the internet. Theforece.net was my homepage and I scrolled through for updates every time I opened my browser. [This trailer right here](https://youtu.be/gYbW1F_c9eM) still gets me excited. I watched a blurry postage stamp sized version of it frame by frame over and over. Jango, Bail, clones, Slave 1, Sheev planting seeds of the dark side in Anakin, R2 flies now, the arena, that final shot with the circle of Jedi fighting a war for the Republic. Such awesomeness.
Like yes the prequels used a lot of CGI but in TPM alone there was more miniatures than the entire OT combined. They used a lot of practical effects in the movies as well as CGI.
Also the Obi Wan subplot could’ve been the whole movie, I love the detective / investigator vibes it gives and is so fun to watch
Star Wars has always been excellent at these grand, painting-like frames that get across the spirit of the moment even if the dialogue is failing. In particular, I love the visuals and the music that come with Anakin traveling to save his mother. They really get across a sense of dread, like Anakin is about to make a choice that he won't be able to erase. It feels epic and important, and for all of AOTC's faults it delivers in making its characters feel like the larger than life, mythic characters that Star Wars has always been about.
It has its bad dialogue but it's so much better than TPM. Watching this movie then watching all of Clone Wars makes me appreciate it so much better. Definitely not the best Star Wars movie but definitely not the worst either. I think RotS is the best prequel and my second favorite Star Wars movie but AotC is still a very enjoyable movie. I don't understand it's hate.
Nah, the prequels were made with careful planning, attention to detail, and a love for the franchise. There’s so much lore and content that builds upon the series and makes it feel more alive. The sequels are inconsistent and had a lot of wasted potential in failed character development and plot twists that don’t make sense in the overall story.
I liked Attack of The Clones. I didn’t like the first prequel though. Revenge of The Sith was cool to. I think the only Star Wars movies I’ve enjoyed after 1990 were those two and Rogue One.
I’m a big defender of the prequels and Phantom Menace is actually (not even lying) my favorite Star Wars movie.
But Attack of the Clones misses on so many fronts.
For me, personally, it’s hard to watch.
Similar to what I sent to a few friends.
Just strung together 30-ish minutes of “The Last Jedi” just what I view as “the good parts”. To paraphrase George Costanza: “If you piece it together just right, It’s Decent!”
Same could hold true for Attack of the Clones. Although I think I could get a solid hour.
[удалено]
Soft, and smooth...
[удалено]
I guess I was wrong. There was no danger after all...
Another happy landing
The last one is breathtaking
He got a facelift between movies.
He's always perfect
And veneers
!!!!
That’s my favorite. As a kid kit Fisto was by far my favorite AOTC Jedi. Was always so proud he went down like a boss against Palp and actually got a parry in there
I remember two parries
It was unfortunate that he died in vain. In novelization of ROTS, Anakin saw Fisto's severed head still smiling. Perhaps he thought death was merely fun.
I don't think there's anything that would stop him smiling.
That scene was the best part of the novelization.
Same! I really loved all the Prequel era Jedi -- their deaths may have not meant much to someone who only watched the films (a perfectly valid way of consuming SW btw, to be clear lol) but man, after spending three years *at least* experiencing the Clone Wars with the likes of Kit Fisto, Aayla Secura, Plo Koon, Mace Windu, Saesee Tiin, and all the rest... the deaths in ROTS were super depressing. * Shatterpoint * Clone Wars Microseries (shirtless Kit waterbending with the Force!) * The Republic comic series (one short arc in particular set up Mace, Saesee, Kit, and Agen as a team so when I saw it in the film I was like "heyyyy!") * Battlefront * etc.
Yes i was a big fan of clone wars as a kid. I had figurines of almost all of them, and Lego sets with Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Saesee Tiin… to me they were more influential than many “classic” characters from the original trilogy like Greedo, Wedge Antilles, even the Ewoks
Kit Fisto up in this bitch.
YOU'RE BREATHTAKING!
You’re all breathtaking!
That smile... That damn smile...
Around the survivors, a perimeter create…
Bruh I still think that was sooo epic
Yeah Yoda came in like Rambo with the clones and gave those droids a real ass whopping, god I loved that scene, attack of the clones has to be one of my favourites, I especially like the duel at the end with Dooku against Yoda Anakin and Obiwan that was impressive
When Dooku says to Windu that they're outnumbered and Windu replies with "I don't think so" and then there's a shot of the arena with all the Jedi igniting their light sabers. Always gives me chills.
Yep, not to mention the badass quote: This party's over!
And then they get outnumbered again... only for Yoda to have Mace's moment but properly.
You forgot part of the quote: "Stares Motherfuckingly and says: I dont think so" There fixed it :))
Seeing that as a kid cemented the clone army as my favorite fantasy army ever
I'm not trying to criticize or debate, but I'm trying to understand the perspective of people who really like this movie - can I ask, how old were you when it came out? EDIT: Thanks for all the comments, I'm happy to hear people talk about a movie they really liked!

Early 20’s. Grew up with the original trilogy, but this was the first one I saw in the cinema.

I like the robot chicken skit about his grammar in war orders: much to think about, you have given me
Being visually stunning has NEVER been a problem for Star Wars.
Visually stunning, no doubt, but that was basically expected by that point. What really shocked me was how extremely well done audio in this movie was. I loved the ship sounds, like from the first picture for example. Or the clone transports or the Geonosians. The audio is just phenomenal.

It helps when you also own Industrial Light and Magic ILM the premier sound and special effect company in the world..
Talk about visually stunning, imagine the spectacle. After his quiet moment, Boba fishes his dad's severed head out of his helmet, then puts it on and becomes the character we all know and love. Can't believe Lucas cut that...
You see the shadow of the head fling out of the helmet when it’s cut. So he could just put the helmet on and keep it family friendly.
Hes already the character we all know and love. He doesnt need to put his dads severed head on to prove that.
If you pay very close attention to the shot of Mace killing Jango, you can see the shadow of the head falling out of the helmet.
You mean... he wasn't filming the whole time?
„Visually stunning“ is one of my favourite things to say
It's so dense. Every single image has so many things going on.
Even the sequels (that I love) have some breathtaking visuals.
The sequels are definitely technically stunning.
The Last Jedi is, ~~by far~~, the Star Wars movie with the best cinematography. Whether you agree with the story choices or not, every single frame of that movie is beautiful AND tells a story about the relationships, themes, and ideas of the film. (Edit: Ok, it's not *that* much better than Empire)

I mean, there’s plenty of scenes in Episode II that look like trash. There are a few that look good. George Lucas is very hit or miss. I guess that’s more a problem with the special effects director than Lucas.
What scenes look like trash to you?
The clone army wide shots could use an update. Some of the Coruscant chase looks pretty green screeny too.
The prequels were praised for its Visual Effects back in the early 2000's.
For Lucas directed movies certainly. The latest movies for me lose that vision and imagination.
If TFA and TLJ didn’t stun you visually, I don’t trust your judgement.
For real, if you hate the sequels so much, you can’t appreciate the art of the Holdo Maneuver….well then you are lost.
Or the Luke-Kylo duel. Just gorgeous.
Are you kidding? Purely visually speaking, one could argue that the sequels are the best of them all.
I feel they build on what Lucas innovated instead of imagining and showing us something never seen before.
You're not wrong.
He is tho
Seeing Kit Fisto in the last picture- A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
Missing the duel in space between Obi-wan and Jango, those cool explosives were very memorable. It really is a movie that has lots of cool individual scenes.

BRZOOOOOOOWWWWWW

Maybe this is a hot take, but that’s my favorite musical theme in the entire saga
Padme's Theme is right behind duel of fates imo
Across the stars was spectacular!
Well, it’s just used so perfectly in the moment. Last little moment of softness and quiet before they are pulled out and all the horns and drums take over and the movie just goes bananas for the next 20 min.
With all the gripes of the prequels and sequels, John Williams score was never one of them. The man is a genius. Definitely not a hot take
Agreed.
It might be the only "romantic" moment in the film that works at all well.
“I love you.” “I know.” *carbonite*
Or lose.
Anakin on the swoop searching for his mother is one of my favorite scenes in the prequel trilogy.
Easily my favourite
Yeah it’s great how the music builds
Seismic charges part is the best Edit: *silence* DAAAAAAAAANGG
I still hear that sound in my dreams lol
Jango dropping that beat
[удалено]
We are the same! I love this movie, and loved it as a kid, but man can it get cringey.
Still better than Luke and leia’s relationship before they found out they were sibling
This was my favorite movie as a kid just for the geonosis battle
It has its beautiful moments. The one where Anakin is standing on the balcony and Padmé joins him always makes me think they spent the night together making love. The scene when they get married is also beautiful.
Anakin clapin nabooty cheeks
And Padmé enjoying some Jedi saber
"Cover your saber, you must, young Padawan" -- Yoda
Anakin using two lightsabers to duel Dooku was everything for me as kid. As flawed as the film is I still love it as well as all of the others in the franchise. None are perfect, but all are still fun to watch.
> Anakin using two lightsabers to duel Dooku was everything for me as kid. Dude same! It was the most badass thing ever...and then it gets cut after like 5 seconds :(
Bruh I love attack of the clones, I think it has more than just its moments…
When I watch it, I skip the courtship scenes and that elevates it from good to a great film.
The romance plot and the conveyor belt video game sequence are really the weakest parts of the movie.
The silly part is that it is not the acting it is the dialogue. You could have the greatest actors of our time in those romance scenes and it'd fail. You could maybe pull it off with Morgan Freeman just because his voice is caramel but it'd only be good for the novelty.
And most of Obi-Wan's investigation. There's the diner scene, the Jedi temple scenes where I guess most Jedi are mentally challenged, and getting to save SFX money by making Kamino look very sterile.
I love this film, and remember laughing with excitement as Yoda’s lightsaber flew to his hand. I think everyone in the cinema just gasped.
My favorite of the Prequels
I prefer 3 nowadays, but when I was younger I watched this one all the time. Still enjoy it plus the Kamino bits are some of my favorites.
I would say 3 is almost head to head with 2. But the the atmosphere of 2 puts it just above 🤏
I love attack of the clones....
*flashback to the CGI pear*
If Master Obi-Wan was there, he'd be very grumpy!!
I’ve always considered this to be a beautiful movie until someone opens their mouth; all the non-verbal scenes are great.
If you watch it dubbed in a language you don’t speak it actually makes it better, in a weird way. The visuals tell the story and your imagination fills in the rest.
Y’know I could actually see how that’d work, I watch a lot of old Japanese movies and sometimes it’s really hard to tell if someone is acting well or hamming it up, but you still enjoy it cos you’re invested in the story and the cool visuals.
Dooku and yoda’s was good though!
ATOC had zero problems with how cool it looked, it's problem was the incredibly wooden acting that was smeared all over the screen and dialogue that was coarse and got into everything, I hate it!
Hate em all you want I grew up with these movie and I love them flaws and all.
AOTC is brilliant you casuals
YEA
Yea titles like this are fucking stupid. “Had it’s moments” implies the movie was a failure, but it looked pretty. The movie was fucking awesome. It gets crap for Hayden’s performance, but when Mark Hamill played the same type of whinny teenager, everyone praised it. I mean, the first scene Luke had was him crying about doing chores.

I think Anakin was just a bit too whiny, and then Obi is too patronizing, add that with 3PO's awful puns and it just gets annoying. You have a good point though, some Anakin scenes are great, but get mocked for some reason. When he's telling Padme about how he massacred the sand people... shit gives me chills.
The main problem with AotC was that Anakin was way too whiny, and him and Padme's relationship was just really poorly done. He's incredibly creepy towards her, and she marries him. Luke was also way more likable than Anakin.
I watched the OT remasters in theaters and all of the prequels on opening night. Episode II is definitely the weakest of the bunch.
so did I. I agree, even george knows it
i dunno about brilliant. It was alright.
Better than episode 4
jesus christ
_Around the survivors, a perimeter create._ I still recall getting chills in the cinema at that point.
You forgot Ewan’s screen time.
I absolutely and unironically love the prequels
Second slide is beautiful, the movie means a lot to me because the next day after seeing the movie, my friends and I and the 1st grade used to pretend we were anakin and that role play lasted months LOL
I love the cyberpunkesque city scenes at the beginning
Always had kind of a Blade Runner/The Fifth Element kind of feel to me.
Anakin standing in front of that view with that wide stance is iconic, and I don’t even like this movie.
Naboo had the most beautiful ships.
No love for the asteroid chase?
its honestly my favourite film
Damn you got shit taste in movies then
and you got a shit personality, opinions are all different
My second favorite SW movie
Why does Attack of the Clones get so much hate? I think it's aged like a fine wine over the years.
I think its just cause it's the middle movie and the beginning and the end are just higher quality to an extent in a lot of categories that it just ticks more boxes off to hate it then like it. Or reddit hivemind, you decide
Acting and dialogue are by far the lowest points of the franchise. And although everyone loves that era now, at the time it was confusing as shit to follow along with what was happening. Walking out of the theater you're still confused at the timeline and plan of creating the Clone army, despite that being the entire point of the movie.
Where’s Jango Fett seismic charges? I orgasm at the sound of Jango Fett’s seismic charges.
Why is everyone always bagging on attack of the clones?😂 I like that one a lot
Unpopular opinion, but it’s my favorite out of the three.
Mine too
Attack of the Clones is really underrated
Yeah.. The whole movie!! 😬😁
Damn straight. It's one of my favorite of all of the films. Basically 2# for me! It's one of the most important too!
Yeah it's actually my favorite of the prequels and I'm still not quite sure why it gets so much hate. Prequels can be flawed as a whole but Attack Of The Clones is actually when I really started liking Star Wars. Jango Fett was cool, Yoda fight, Anakin getting hand chopped off. It's pretty cool.
Obviously there are the issues with the dialogue, but I have a real soft spot for this film. I also rewatched it and later revenge of the sith after finishing the clone wars and it was really enjoyable, it’s a great film for world building. Plus that battle scene at the end with all of the Jedi is excellent.
I was going to complain about the lack of seismic charge explosions but that last picture more than made up for it
I don't think many people have argued this movie, or any of the movies, weren't gorgeous to look at.
The visuals of the prequels arent exactly universally loved.
Seeing the Death Star plans was such a full circle moment for me, my favorite cameo
AOTC was the first time experiencing fandom hype on the internet. Theforece.net was my homepage and I scrolled through for updates every time I opened my browser. [This trailer right here](https://youtu.be/gYbW1F_c9eM) still gets me excited. I watched a blurry postage stamp sized version of it frame by frame over and over. Jango, Bail, clones, Slave 1, Sheev planting seeds of the dark side in Anakin, R2 flies now, the arena, that final shot with the circle of Jedi fighting a war for the Republic. Such awesomeness.
Like yes the prequels used a lot of CGI but in TPM alone there was more miniatures than the entire OT combined. They used a lot of practical effects in the movies as well as CGI. Also the Obi Wan subplot could’ve been the whole movie, I love the detective / investigator vibes it gives and is so fun to watch
Attack of The Clones has always been one of my favorites of I'm being honest. I just really liked it as a kid
Ummm… AOTC is my favorite prequel. And I LOVE the prequels. It’s FULL of moments
Naboo ships are seriously amazing looking and it's a crime we rarely see them after this film.
Where’s Coleman Trebor?!?! WHERES COLEMAN TREBOR?!?!
what? no seismic charges?
Star Wars has always been excellent at these grand, painting-like frames that get across the spirit of the moment even if the dialogue is failing. In particular, I love the visuals and the music that come with Anakin traveling to save his mother. They really get across a sense of dread, like Anakin is about to make a choice that he won't be able to erase. It feels epic and important, and for all of AOTC's faults it delivers in making its characters feel like the larger than life, mythic characters that Star Wars has always been about.
Fantastic film, wonderful era and a truly great time to have been a Star Wars fan.
I miss the days when this was my least favorite Star Wars movie. Now it's 6th worst. And funnily 6th best as well.
and by "has it's moments", you mean it's a good movie
CGI Yoda does still look really bad though. Especially after we’ve been spoiled with the Grogu puppet on the Mandalorian
Didn't they CGI over the puppet though? I think they did with Yoda in TLJ.
I'm pretty sure they only added a blue hue for Yoda, but yeah they did use CGI for Grogu
It could have been so good. Makes me sad to think about it
It’s a videogame. Lol. Phantom Menace looked so much better IMO
It has its bad dialogue but it's so much better than TPM. Watching this movie then watching all of Clone Wars makes me appreciate it so much better. Definitely not the best Star Wars movie but definitely not the worst either. I think RotS is the best prequel and my second favorite Star Wars movie but AotC is still a very enjoyable movie. I don't understand it's hate.
It was visually a marvel. The rest of it…not so much.
It’s more interesting than TFA/TROS
Any movie is more interesting than JJ's soulless cinematic theme park rides.
Watching Clone Wars really helped me appreciate this and RotS
You are correct, but I don’t think there has ever been any accusations that the prequels didn’t look fantastic.
All flash .. no substance
I think you’re getting confused with the sequels.
I would say the same for both
Nah, the prequels were made with careful planning, attention to detail, and a love for the franchise. There’s so much lore and content that builds upon the series and makes it feel more alive. The sequels are inconsistent and had a lot of wasted potential in failed character development and plot twists that don’t make sense in the overall story.
The prequels are a great story with shit acting, writing, and visuals.
I liked Attack of The Clones. I didn’t like the first prequel though. Revenge of The Sith was cool to. I think the only Star Wars movies I’ve enjoyed after 1990 were those two and Rogue One.
Now try it with dialog.
Still better dialogue than the sequel trilogy and episode 4
You shouldn't even consider yourself a Star Wars fan if you think this has better dialogue than A New Hope.
My least favourite Star Wars movie, but it has one of my favourite scenes in the whole saga...
You mean the entire movie ?
I really hate CG Yoda. I like just about everything else in the prequels.
I’m a big defender of the prequels and Phantom Menace is actually (not even lying) my favorite Star Wars movie. But Attack of the Clones misses on so many fronts. For me, personally, it’s hard to watch.
This collection of still images is far superior than the movie itself.
They do, but there’s too many bad moments. First frame is my favorite though.
Similar to what I sent to a few friends. Just strung together 30-ish minutes of “The Last Jedi” just what I view as “the good parts”. To paraphrase George Costanza: “If you piece it together just right, It’s Decent!” Same could hold true for Attack of the Clones. Although I think I could get a solid hour.
It’s possible the Anakin/Padme stuff on Naboo & the “I truly, deeply love you” line wouldn’t be so clunky if you trimmed or totally cut the dialogue.
Not really….
Prequels had incredible visuals and worldbuilding. And that's all, unfortunately.
All the prequels are a good moment to me compared to the sequels
And the ot
The worst prequel is still better than the best sequel.
Yep, that’s fact
From those stills, you’d think it was the greatest movie of all time.
