A long time ago… in a galaxy far way… Anakin, a Jedi Padwon (in training), and Jedi Obi-Wan-Kanobi were summoned to the planet of Naboo to protect Queen Almadalia from the dangers of the rebellion. To save the queen’s life, Anakin takes her in secret to a sanctuary where their childhood-crush prospers into a forbidden love affair. On top of all of this, war is going on between the Republic vs. Rebellion, Jedis vs. Sith Lords, and Good vs. Evil. Watch the movie if you want to know who will survive this intense fantasy and who will not. For my movie review, I decided to choose Star Wars 2: Attack of the Clones, one of my favorite movies that I recently watched again. The Main characters are Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christianson), Obi-Wan-Kanobi (Ewan McGregor) and Padme (Natalie Portman). Although the story line and the acting is never less than awesome, there are parts where the acting from Hayden Christianson can come off as unbelievable or awkward. Anakin’s character has many goals, mostly all contributing to Padme’s safety and the justice of the republic. Padme’s character is more complex than Anakins because the audience understands that she hides her feelings and emotions on the inside for the sake of her people instead of following what her heart needs. Obi Wan is only concerned for keeping his jedi duties and protecting the people with justice. The main theme I would say for this movie is good battling the evil. There may seem like there is no hope for winning against darkness, but light will overcome in the end even when you are almost out of time. The critics rate this movie a 6.8/10, but I would rate it as an 8.2/10. All of the critics were very kind, saying there was an amazing story line just like I think, but they thought that the graphics could have been a little better, which personally I think for the time era that they published this movie they did extremely well. In conclusion, if you are interested in intense thrillers full of forbidden romance, violence and fantasy than Star Wars 2: Attack of the Clones is definitely worth your time and money.
