Review
Ahoy there, friends! It seems like a long time since I last sat down and watched a good old-fashioned adventure movie, but lo and behold, Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones has left me in awe.
The movie is set in a galaxy far, far away. We catch up with Anakin Skywalker, who is now ten years older from when we last saw him in Episode I. He’s still under the tutelage of Obi-Wan Kenobi, but Anakin has grown restless. He’s impatient to be recognized as a Jedi Knight; he’s thirsty for more power.
Now let’s talk about the plot of this masterful piece of cinema. The Jedi Knights are sent on a mission to protect Senator Amidala, who is being targeted by assassins from the Separatist movement. The separatists are a group of planets that want to break away from the Republic and form their own alliance.
While on this mission to protect Senator Amidala, Anakin and Padmé fall in love. The two characters share several scenes together that have an undeniable chemistry between them. However, their love is forbidden due to Jedi rules that forbid attachment.
As Anakin becomes more reckless and unstable, it’s apparent that he’s not on the path to becoming the great Jedi Knight everyone thought he would be. Meanwhile, Obi-Wan discovers there’s more than meets the eye with the Separatist movement.
There’s no denying that Attack of the Clones has some fantastic dialogue throughout its runtime. One particular exchange between Anakin and Padmé where they discuss their feelings for each other stands out as particularly poignant:
“Anakin: You’re asking me to be rational. That is something I know I cannot do. Believe me, I wish that I could just wish away my feelings… but I can’t.
Padmé: I will not let you give up your future for me.”
The dialogue may be excellent, but the special effects in this movie are out of this world (pun intended). The battle scenes are astounding and gripping, culminating in an epic lightsaber duel between Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Count Dooku.
One thing you cannot overlook with Attack of the Clones is the stunning cinematography. Director George Lucas has outdone himself with his use of color and lighting. The star-filled skies set against a backdrop of beautiful landscapes are nothing short of breathtaking.
The acting performances in this movie are also top-notch. Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker delivers an emotionally charged performance, while Natalie Portman as Padmé Amidala captures the princess’s elegant aura perfectly. However, it’s Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi who steals the show with his confident portrayal.
From a musical perspective, John Williams once again delivers a brilliant score that adds to the movie’s overall pleasure. His music during action scenes is rousing and effective while his softer themes capture the romantic essence between Anakin and Padmé.
Attack of the Clones was met with mixed reviews upon its release. However, I think it’s worth noting that this film has aged like fine wine: It’s become more appreciated over time.
In conclusion, Star Wars Episode II – Attack of the Clones is a visually stunning movie that boasts an engaging plot, a plethora of fascinating characters, and some breathtaking action scenes. It’s no perfect film but still manages to be one of my favorites in all the galaxies I’ve come across!
