Star Wars Episode II : Attack of the Clones
Attack of the Clones is the weak point of the saga. It's love story may be fine , but there is no strong plot driving the rest of the movie - instead it's Obi-Wan just happening to find out about crazy thing after another.
Set about 12-16 years after Phantom Menace , Anakin and Obi-Wan are assigned to protect senator Amidalla - when a series of failed assassination attempts forces the jedis to found who the killer is. Eventually Anakin is assigned to guard Amidalla by himself - for his first solo mission , while Obi-Wan discovers a gigantic army to be made for the republic.
My biggest problem with this movie is that it doesn't have any focus on a solid story - all it does is set you up for the next movie. It also only has one really cool huge action scene , which is a big downgrade from Phantom Menace which was filled with them. Another thing that adds to this are the sometimes lacking special effects. There is still a lot of eye candy , but there are so many points in this movie where you can see the obvious use of green screens it's irritating.
Even though it is still a little fun , it's the weakest movie of all of them. Action , acting , excitement , and special effects all a downgrade from the previous installment.
