In 1999, the hype for the return of
Star Wars was overwhelming, and
The Phantom Menace suffered for it. Even
without the build-up, many people would say that it was too cheesy, too cartoonish, and too childish.
Now, three years later, the horribly titled Attack of the Clones hits theaters, promising to be darker, more ominous, and just plain better than its predecessor. Is that the case? Here you go:
Attack of the Clones is still not up to par with the original three, but it''s pretty close. It is easier to say that it is much better than The Phantom Menace - I did like that movie for what it was, but do have to admit that it needed to lose a lot of the goofier stuff - by a long shot. It is darker, foreboding, and marks a sign for things to come.
