Horrifyingly boring, whiny and painful film that is a blight on the legacy of Star Wars. For major fanboys of Star Wars only.
More Star Wars: Episode II - Attack... reviews
My very first review here on Lunch was my ESSAY about this movie. Lets cut to a more condensed hate of this blight on the Star Wars film series. Please see that review "He was a good Friend" in the moviesucktastic community for more. Years have passed between Phantom Menace and Anakin has grown and is being taught the Jedi arts.
