I know everyone hates Attack of the Clones, but...

It's version of the Imperial March sounded better than the original, imo.

Honestly, I quite liked the battle on Geonosis.

I wouldn't say better than the original but yeah that is definitely one of the best renditions of Imperial March

I would need to hear a longer version before I make a judgement call like that. A "full" version of V's Imperial March is roughly three minutes whereas this is only 47 seconds.

Slightly off-topic: Attack of The Clones was still IMO far better than The Phantom Menace which is currently a real challenge to watch from start start to finish.

Yeah me too. It's weird, but I think Episode 2 is probably my favorite of the prequels. On repeat viewings Episodes 1 and 3 are quite boring, but Episode 2 seems nicer to watch. Plus Obi Wan vs Jango is my favorite prequel fight.

I'd imagine it sounding the same as the full version. This version sounds more epic and grand though.

I'm sorry but I simply cannot get past that drunken line reading between Anikin and Padme that barely resembles any known form of human interaction, much less a romance that someone would willingly throw away their career as a Space Wizard over.

It doesn't take much for me to enjoy a movie, I was even alright with Transformers 2 and 3, but for god's sake Attack of the clones was legitimately hard to watch.

Watch it as an action comedy.

Episode III to me was the best considering there was more action than exposition, in terms of story telling, Lucas did himself a favor by having a gap between II and III with the Clone Wars which lead to a different personality Anakin that was probably the best out of the three we got. Also, the fighting (which we got plenty of) was pretty stellar.

Episode II had noticeably less JarJar in it though and the acting in I was pretty bland compared to II and III. Sure II was very melodramatic but at least half the cast didn't come off as planks of wood.

I found Episode 3 less boring than 1, but that's it. The dialogue feels even worse than 2 at times, and the attempts at comedy with the horrible slapstick and Obi Wan's constant one liners just felt really forced.

AotC was a good movie you fucksticks.

BaconShelf · January 25, 2016, 01:12:04 PM

Kamino and Geonosis are awesome. Episode III was probably my favourite overall, though.

I like the clone troops, they're way better than stormtroopers. Now I think about it, the Clone Wars, as an era, is something I generally find a lot more interesting than the Galactic Civil War. I'm in the middle of watching the 2008 TCW series (I'm nearly done with season 2) and I'm enjoying it a lot. Stuff like the Second Battle of Geonosis and (Later on) the Battle of Umbara storylines are really good.

Yeah, back in the day I liked reading Clone Wars era novels more than other parts of the EU.

I really liked the Obi-Wan and Jango fight, the lightsaber in the rain is cool as hell and it's nice to see a Fett do something without getting cucked.

Something I feel about the prequels is that even if the movies aren't that good (I do like Revenge of the Sith though), they really added some cool lore and it's an interesting era

I think GCW is a little bit too much Good Vs. Evil for my tastes. Clone Wars, everything feels a little bit less black and white, particularly with stuff like Clones' accelerated aging.

Plus, all the clone troops having different armours was really cool, something you don't see as much. I always loved the design of the 327th Star Corps (The ones that gun down Aayla Secura in Order 66).
