Star Wars: Clone Wars Movie Review
Well howdy folks, let’s get it out of the way, I’m a huge Star Wars fanboy, I love everything about the universe and wish I were a Sith Lord irl.
Now I had rented the Clone Wars series on dvd last month to be ready to see this movie, as it turns out I wish I hadn’t as it set some pretty high standards. Minor spoilers after the jump.
For starters, we don’t even get a paragraph across the screen to start the move, no we get ‘Clone Wars’ then a narrator telling us everything because we’re all apparently too stupid to read.
For starters the fighting was pretty cool, I actually liked the style of the animation. There’s a massive battle to start things off…then enter’s Anakin’s Padawan…who I wanted to die after 5 minutes of her being on screen (think annoying Episode 1 Anakin with actual Jedi Powers right away)
This movie was obviously geared towards kids, which considering I brought my soon to be step-daughter to I guess is pretty good, I enjoyed her loving Star Wars and the obviously humor geared towards kids in it, remember all the ‘Roger Rodger’ stuff? Well theres a ton of that but extended more.
I don’t want to get too spoiler detailed so I’ll leave it at this, if you have young kids and want to watch them enjoy a Star Wars movie in theaters, go ahead take ‘em and enjoy *yes I actually did laugh at a couple of the droid jokes*, but don’t go in expecting that much for yourself if you’re a big SW fan.
Rating: 2/5
Wait for DVD Rental, they should have at least kept some of the Clone Wars cartoon series feel to it rather than kiddying it up a TON.

The cute little nick names were driving me insane. The dialog was just plain bad. The plot was so filled with holes you have to wonder if they threw the script together over a drunken weekend. Even though it was only 90 minutes, I was shifting in my seat near the end and could not wait to bolt out of the theater. On a positive note, the graphics were awesome and the saber fights were rad. And I agree, the Droid gags were the some of the best part of the film. It just seemed like the entire movie was made in a focus group to create amazing screen shots to sell the cool new toys.
Just because it was targeted at kids doesn’t mean it should automatically suck and be dumbed down. for example…almost EVERY pixar movie. This thing was definitely thrown together is some craptastic committee.. Bleh.
Agreed Spilt, where the heck did they get the idea for Anakin to have an apprentice now, and to fight Dooku? And don’t get me started on Zero the Hutt…
Why on earth did they need a cross dressing southern slave owner as a Hutt? You can tell that it was supposed to be a women before the lawyers got a hold of it. You can almost see the thought process play out in their pointy lil heads:
“Whose lawyers have the deepest pockets to sue us, the feminists or the transvestite fetish crowd”?
“The feminists of course”.
“Right. Zero will be a cross dressing fruit”.
“Done and done”.
Whoever wrote this turd has “issues”.
