The muppet steals what's otherwise an underwhelming show.

Clones is far from perfect, but when it clicks, it revives the old spirit that made a generation become so obsessed with all things Star Wars in the first place.

It’s impossible...to dismiss a film with this much stuff: exotic production design, imaginative characters, and a wide variety of digital jedi fu.
05/09/05
It would be easy to say that this film is fantastic and blows away the others, but unfortunately I cannot.
08/13/04
Superior to Episode I -- The Phantom Menace, with its annoying Jar Jar Binks and its dull, galaxy-hopping story line.
06/22/04
Enjoy this film they will.
02/01/04
Alternately excites and bores.
05/20/03
I'll call it nearly good, based mostly on one hell of a last half-hour.
04/20/03
It's no Empire Strikes Back but then you won't have to worry about Jar Jar too much either.
04/16/03
How I wish I could say something other than ho-hum.

You will most likely end up sitting through this latest installment - even if the series has become a shadow of its former self

My God, how wonderful it would be if it just even pretended to not be so commercialized.

The Star Wars franchise continues to slip into obscurity with another underwhelming entry.
01/29/03
When George Lucas learns to make his audience feel the way he does about creating his worlds and the living things that populate them, he just might be more at one with a larger creative force as well. The new films are good, but they're still clones.
01/16/03
Lucas has delivered new worlds, characters, and creatures but has left in little of the humor that sparkled throughout the original Star Wars.
12/17/02
The result is epic and romantic -- the kind of Star Wars joyride that fans have been waiting for.
12/08/02
The film has that Star Wars atmosphere fully in place, complete with a thematic resonance and a reliance on strong personalities interacting to drive the events forward.
12/08/02
I feel ambivalent about it and I'm still going to pay to see it again. It's just that important to our collective dorkitude.
12/08/02
At least it's better than Return of the Jedi. If that sounds like faint praise... then line up and find out for yourself.
12/08/02
Yes, it's better than The Phantom Menace. Think for a minute about how little that means.
