Attack of the clones released
By: Jake Rajala
Attack of the Clones is a visually stunning, intense, complex film. The film came out 24 years ago, today. We see Anakin much older in this film than “The Phantom Menace”. Furthermore, Anakin is tasked with protecting Padme. They begin to fall in love and it feels like Twilight.
My favorite scene is when Anakin and Padme are chained up and brought out to a stadium full of crazy creatures. Right before they are brought to the inside of the stadium, they have a charming kiss.
I love when the Jedi (led by Mace Windu) enter the stadium to free the jedi. It turns out to be a blood-bath between the Jedi and droids. Jango Fett also dies, as Windu kills him. Count Dooku is able to escape, however.
We’re introduced to the clones in the bowl. They save the Jedi from the droids. The clones are a copy of Jango Fett.
In the end of this epic film, it’s a flat-out war between the good and the bad. Obi-Wan and Anakin are able to catch Dooku. Dooku easily uses his lightning to wipe out Anakin. He even chops Anakin’s hand off. Yoda then enters the scene and he has a legit fight against Dooku. It’s obvious Count Dooku is a sith lord, as he has energy to fight against a few Jedis.
Attack of the Clones didn’t get the sexiest Rotten Tomatoes score, but it was still popular. 87% of Google users admired the film. It may sound disappointing given that I’m writing this article, but I believe this is my least favorite film among the first seven films.
