Tockinit not horrible nor great

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

DCfan I really found this show helpful for me to understand what happened in- between Star Wars attack of the clones and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith. I also liked the animation to it as plus I liked the fact that the episodes weren't that long. If you liked Star Wars attack of the clones and Star Wars Revenge of the Sith then you will enjoy this.

Ruairidh MacVeigh Indeed as far as cartoon shows go, there's only a few that are made to be entertaining for both adults and children, but Star Wars Clone Wars does in fact have a very gripping story that bridges the gap between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Initially the episodes aired on Cartoon Network were about 5 to 7 minutes long and based around a single battle, although vignettes of other battles on other planets are slipped into the mix from time to time, but later episodes went on to be about half an hour long and followed a single plot, which is where the story gets really very interesting.So what's the bacon? The first set of episodes follows Anakin, Obi- Wan and their Clone Army as they lead an assault on a planet which houses an abandoned city within which is hidden a single cannon firing randomly into the ether (it's not explained particularly well, why don't they just come up behind it?). But things heat up when we're introduced to Count Dooku's apprentice, who is tasked to go out and lure Anakin away in a vicious lightsaber battle on the planet Yavin IV, a world later inhabited by the Rebel Alliance in its plight against the Death Star (at least they bothered to explain that!).I won't give away too much of the second story, but let's just say it's very satisfactory and ties up the beginning of Episode III perfectly as to what the reason is for that massive space battle in the opening.The characters seem true to form (as true to what they were in Episode II) but you do see a legitimate maturity of Anakin's character from the angry teen he was in the last movie to a more settled Jedi Knight in Episode III. Obi-Wan is wise and strong, Yoda remains on par, Count Dooku is calmly diabolical, very much reflecting what was before and keeping it up to spec.The animation is rather confusing however, with the characters being angular in design and a little... well... deformed almost, but I consider the story to be enough to hold the line.Overall, it was a very good series. The first set of episodes may drag a bit, with it being just the same old battle going on for episode after episode, but later episodes with the more developed story and the longer running time are well worth the viewing, especially if you found yourself confused by the opening of Revenge of the Sith.

noveltyhat it seems incredible how this show took all the elements of the prequel trilogy and somehow made them.. good. this show is proof that the prequels didn't have to be the mess they were. it captures the humor, awe-inspiring action and pure awesomeness of the original trilogy and puts it in prequel context. finally the complexity of the relationship between anakin and obi wan can be appreciated. anakin is no longer simply an impatient, silly person. grevious is actually threatening. the battle droids are actually funny! 3PO is... not as annoying! at least he's not worried about coming up with puns in the midst of deadly situations this time around. tyrannous and sidious can be seen as truly intelligent and malicious conspirators. the wookie planet isn't gimmicky. the battle sequences are brilliantly massive and surprising. the jedi tactics are staggering. i could adjectivize this thing all day. bottom line: forget the prequels ands remember this as the true old days of star wars. if only.

midfielderpro I popped in the DVD for Volume 1 right after it came in the mail. Being a lifelong and all-encompassing Star Wars fanatic, including the non-canon literature, concepts, etc., I had to purchase this DVD, and I will still have to purchase Volume 2.I was a bit disappointed at first though, because it is SO SHORT! I want more and more and more and I'm sure the upcoming live-action Star Wars TV series will give me that. The episodes are only 15 minutes long, so Volume 1 is only just over an hour long in run-time.While short, the content is good, covering the intermediate time between Episodes II and III and incorporating some interesting story lines. Familiar planets like Dantooine, Mon Calamari and Yavin 4 are tossed into the prequel story arc, and new locations like the home planet of the Banking Clan, Muunilist, are introduced. This is a plus for any serious Star Wars fan. Anyone with a good knowledge of Episodes II and III can follow and understand what is going on in the animated episodes.While the action sequences are good for a cartoon-version of Star Wars, I felt the dialogue was severely lacking. And I'm not looking for a masterful interaction of the cartoon's characters throughout the entire 67 minutes of the DVD. But there were several sequences that lasted several minutes without any spoken words. The tactical scene with the ARC troopers on Muunilist was well-put-together, but why can't the ARC troopers be given dialogue? Several minutes of mere hand signals and motions got irritating without even one word uttered to accompany them. This was the same for Mace Windu's sequence in Volume 1. Two human characters should be able to interact verbally with each other if they are in the same vicinity for more than a few seconds, and this didn't happen, whether for budgeting or style purposes. Mind you, I am posting this only after watching Volume 1, so I'm not sure of the dialogue quality in Volume 2.I love Star Wars. I give Star Wars priority over pretty much all other films and series/sagas/etc. And the Clone Wars is a must-have for the die-hard fan. But the terrible dialogue, or lack-thereof, forces me to only give it a 6.
