Star Wars Attack of the Clones is a ridiculously dramatic movie that explains way too much of Anakin's feelings for the Senator Padm'e. This movie grips a lot on the tention between these two. Therefore, I don't have any interest to see them being romantic on the peaceful planet of Naboo. For all of you prequel haters out there, this might be the reason you are annoyed with the prequels. These aren't the only reasons of why I hate this film. I did not enjoy Count Dooku's character either.

If you thought things couldn't get worse than The Phantom Menace you were sorely mistaken. From the bad CGI to the unwatchable love scenes, this is definitely the absolute worst Star Wars film. The first hour and a half is just boring exposition that makes you feel sleepy and the rest is just CGI filled garbage that is not entertaining whatsoever. If you are new to Star Wars let me give you some good advice, skip Attack of the Clones. Revenge of the Sith is a much better way to spend two hours of your time.

Highly underrated. At some point, someone on the internet claimed that this was the worst Star Wars movie and all the people who can't think for themselves began repeating the line until it became the thing to say without examining the movie further. Like all Star Wars films it has a few clunky parts but overall it's a pretty gorgeous movie and the first major film to be shot entirely with digital cameras.
