Star Wars: The Clone Wars(2008)- User Reviews

Remember when you first saw The Phantom Menace, came in with HUGE expectations, and came out all disappointed? First of all, I am a HUGE Star wars fan! Star Wars is my favorite movie series ever! Yeah! That includes Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and Twilight! Before I saw this, I was SO excited! I was thinking "Oh my gosh! This is going to be the best Star wars ever!" I went in the theater with my popcorn, the words "A Long Time Ago, in a Galaxy Far, Far Away..." The audience cheered, I was excited. And now you may be wondering "does this movie live up to its expectations? Does it live up to be just as good as people made it out to be? Can Star Wars succeed as a computer animated movie?" Well, I don't like to spoil movies, but... NO! This movie was AWFUL! I HATED IT! I HATED, HATED, HATED IT!

First of all, let me just point out the casting flaws, Tom Kane as Yoda instead of the great FRANK OZ?!?!!! Okay, we all remember Yoda in "The Empire Strikes Back", and when Frank Oz voiced him, he made him seem so real. You actually believed that the Force was real, and that there is the Space War between Good and Evil going on, just through the voice of Yoda. Even though Yoda was a muppet, Frank Oz's voice made him the most real Star wars character! Even the worst Star Wars movie "Attack of the Clones", was worth seeing, just because of seeing Yoda kick some butt! But now, instead of Frank Oz voicing him, we have Tom Kane, the narrator of Disney's "George of the Jungle" to voice this beloved character!!!! Tom Kane's Yoda impression sounds just like the way it is, an impression!

And now, the music. Okay, in the 6 Star Wars movies, one of my favorite things about them was John Williams music! Just his music was what weighed the whole saga on its shoulders! The Binary Sunset, Princess Leia's theme, Yoda's theme, the Imperial March, etc. John Williams even won an Oscar for the first Star Wars! But now, we have the music of Keven Kiner! His music for Star Wars sounds very cheap!

And now for the story, Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Anakin's new apprentice, the annoying Asokah Tano, have to rescue Jabba the Hutt's baby from Ziro the Hutt. Wow, whoever writes this stuff must have been trying to get an Oscar, because it is just so good! (FYI, I was being sarcastic!)

And now, for the characters and screenplay, Obi-Wan and Anakin, were actually the only good characters in this movie, but Yoda was totally lacking his wisdom! IF you have seen The Phantom menace, you would remember that Yoda "sensed much fear in Anakin!" He is the wisest Jedi in the Galaxy! So why would he give Anakin Skywalker, who slaughters Sand People, and isn't even a Jedi Master yet, an apprentice, by the way, an annoying apprentice, Asoakh Tano, who was JUST SUCH A BRAT! I mean come on! She calls "Skywalker" "Sky-guy"! She calls "R2-D2" "Artooey"! "Sky-guy"? "Artooey"? WHO WRITES THIS STUFF?!?!?!

And now for the visuals. I have played Pac-Man
video games that have visuals that are more awe-inspiring than the visuals in this dreck! The animation in this movie is so wooden, everybody looks as though they are literally made out of wood! And the backgrounds are depressingly dark!

So, with a mediocre story, some flawed but worthy acting, poor effort in direction, and the all-time worst visuals, Star Wars the Clone Wars is Truly awful! Some people think that the Star Wars saga "jumped the sarlacc" with the Star Wars prequels, and some people think that Indiana Jone and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull made Indiana Jones "nuke the fridge". Well to those people I say this, "HAVE YOU SEEN STAR WARS THE CLONE WARS?!?"

If Jabba the Hutt saw this movie, I'm sure he'd say this to the whole saga. "You used to be a very fun movie series, but now you're bantha fodder! Haw Haw Haw Haw Haw Haw Haw Haw!"

I give this movie 2 death stars out of 5!
