Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones

Good

Easy to play, Easy viewing, good product

Brilliant

This 2-DVD set goes with the matching sets for parts 1 and 3. In common with the others, it includes a range of extras. I would like to have seen more included, but then George Lucas is not Peter Jackson, if you see what I mean. Even so, it offers a reasonable amount for the money. The movie itself follows on from part 1 "The Phantom Menace", of course. It is, thankfully, a better movie, mainly it seems because the ghastly "hi mom!" child Anekin Sywalker has grown up. However, it's not all good news, as he has grown into a ghastly "it's so unfair!" teenager. This plays into the story arc, but I found him difficult to like. If you have seen part 1, then you will recognise the amazingly poor acting and lousy script immediately. Looking kindly upon it, I suppose it is a good example of the backgound overwhelming the subject. The special effects spinning all around the characters are wonderful, and they do rather dominate the screen at moments when they are actually unimportant. What we have then is a solid sci-fi action movie with some amusing moments, some awful acting, great special effects, plus many insights and glimpses into the backstories of the characters and the world in which they live. The DVDs are mounted on flip-over plastic trays inside a standard DVD box. There is also a nice colour leaflet explaining the DVD contents in more detail. This set is certainly better value than the 1-disc version. For it being a pretty good movie, and having a nice range of extra goodies, I give it generous 4 stars.

Great Quality DVD and nice case.

Dvd came quick in good condition and played well

Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones is written and directed by George Lucas. It`s the fifth Star Wars film to be released but the second in terms of story chronology. It stars Ewan McGregor, Natalie Portman, Hayden Christensen, Samuel L. Jackson, Christopher Lee, Temuera Morrison & Ian McDiarmid. Music is scored by John Williams and cinematography is by David Tattersall. Set 10 years after the events featured in The Phantom Menace, the story sees the Galactic Republic under threat from separatists and a civil war looms. As Naboo Senator Padme Amidala is in danger of assassination, Jedi Padawan Skywalker is assigned to protect her. Meanwhile, Obi-wan Kenobi makes the worrying discovery of a clone army, a discovery that spells chaos for the galaxy. Now that the dust has settled on the prequel trilogy, it seems that Attack of the Clones is the one of the six film`s that is most unliked by the fans. Which on structure terms is perhaps understandable given its heavy leaning towards the romantic strand between Amidala and Annakin (they are no Han & Leia that`s for sure). Yet for all its problems (script/dialogue/acting/CGI mania) it`s a marginally better film than Phantom Menace; nicely whetting the appetite for part three as well. If you can negotiate the mundane periods and accept it`s merely the bridge to a better part of the film galaxy? Then it`s a more palatable experience. Lucas has thankfully learnt some lessons from his first instalment (for example it`s practically bye bye Binksy), but being the episode in which so much has to be set up in the franchise (reasons for love/hate/politics/family ties), Lucas is hand-tied as to how he can please the masses; and you feel that away from blunderbuss action he`s not very comfortable directing such dialogue driven passages of play. However, the characters are now better formed, with the likes of McGregor looking more at ease playing such an iconic role, and if it`s action you want, then you get payed up in full with colourful carnage: particularly for monster smack down time in a gladiatorial arena. Bonuses see Jackson more prominent as an ass kicker, Lee delicious as the villainous Count Dooku and Yoda (with a digital upgrade) makes a telling mar;, these are things that greatly improve the final third of the piece. While the print (it`s all shot on HD Digital) positively sparkles in a way that insists you see it on the best available format you can. After the mixed reaction to Phantom Menace, and with it vying for punters in 2002 with Spider-Man, Harry Potter and the second Lord of the Rings, Attack of the Clones suffered at the box office in terms of financial expectation. For even tho it made around about $500 million in Worldwide profit, it remains (allowing for adjusted inflation) the lowest performing Star Wars film in the series. Revisits to the film show it to still have the same old flaws, but it`s far from being a bad film. It has the darker edges that were required (ala Empire Strikes Back) and there`s too much high octane entertainment for it to ever be considered dull as a whole. But does the charge of action and effects over script and characters still stick, then? Well, yes, but this is George Lucas after all..... 7.5/10

Badly written, badly acted, cheesy and disappointing instalment in the Star Wars saga. But I'm a Star Wars geek, so I still love it. I'm only reviewing it because Amazon requires a review to dismiss items from my items to review list and it's getting cluttered with things that don't really need to be reviewed but there is no other way to dismiss them. I did ask if they could add a feature to remove irrelevant items but they don't seem to want to go down that route. I've just spent hours reviewing items. :(

Llegó en perfectas condiciones y antes de la fecha estimada. Gran servicio.

Perfecta colección de las 6 películas hasta el momento. Buscaba algo parecido y he dado en el clavo. Aunque tienes que comprar una por una, no vienen en una típica caja de cartón de coleccionista. Para mi perfecto. Típica caja metálica aunque muy fina para mi gusto y recubierto de plástico por dentro. Solo viene el Blu-Ray y nada más. El dibujo de delante es un tono metalizado y tiene cierto relieve en las letras y por detrás aparece la portada original muy bien dibujada. Son totalmente excelentes, no podrían estar mejor hechos. He colgado una foto para que veáis la parte de atrás ya que viene con un cartón que representa la típica parte de atrás de un dvd o blu-ray donde sale escenas, información, créditos, etc... y al ser un SteelBox lo podemos extraer quitando dos trozo de celo y se deja ver en todo su esplendor. También he colgado otra foto para que veáis las seis cartulinas y como he decidido cortar la parte que envuelve cada película por encima para guardarlos en el estante. Lógicamente he hecho tal cosa porque es mucho más bonito ver los dibujos de la caja que ese trozo de cartón tapándolo. Ahora toca esperar a la nueva trilogía y las antologías que también tienen pensado sacar, aunque... ¿Cuantos años habrá que esperar para que saquen un edición con un dibujo tan excelente como lo son estas 6 primeras? Muchos.

Ho acquistato tutta la collana in edizione speciale e sono rimasto senza parole! Lo steelbook è veramente stupendo! Le immagini sono ancora più belle viste dal vivo, una qualità pazzesca per un prodotto assolutamente da non farsi scappare se si è un fan della saga e si vuole avere qualcosa di unico da esporre in casa e far vedere agli amici! Ovviamente i contenuti sono eccellenti. Must buy!

It's Star Wars ! Need I say more?
