MPAA RATING: PG for sci-fi action violence throughout, brief language and momentary smoking
Starring Matt Lanter, Ian Abercrombie, Anthony Daniels, Samuel L. Jackson, Tom Kane, Matthew Wood, James Arnold Taylor, and Christopher Lee
Star Wars takes on a dazzling new look in the first-ever animated feature from Lucasfilm Animation - Star Wars: The Clone Wars. As the Clone Wars sweep through the galaxy, the heroic Jedi Knights struggle to maintain order and restore peace. More and more systems are falling prey to the forces of the dark side as the Galactic Republic slips further and further under the sway of the Separatists and their never-ending droid army. Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan learner Ahsoka Tano find themselves on a mission with far-reaching consequences, one that brings them face-to-face with crime lord Jabba the Hutt. But Count Dooku and his sinister agents, including the nefarious Asajj Ventress, will stop at nothing to ensure that Anakin and Ahsoka fail at their quest. Meanwhile, on the front lines of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Master Yoda lead the massive clone army in a valiant effort to resist the forces of the dark side ... (Warner Bros.)

This movie is so awful I found it offensive to watch. George Lucas has truly lost his mind. I have been a huge star wars fan since I was a little boy in the early 80s. I won't even waste time elaborating on all the plot holes and inconsistencies that help make this movie completely ridiculous. Not to mention it is more of the same dull, uninspired, star wars dribble we have come to expect and become desensitized to since the Phantom Menace took a huge smelly dump on the Star Wars Universe several years ago. There is dialogue at the beginning of the movie which I believe sums up my thoughts on the movie and mirrors a conversation George Lucas might have had with the director: Anakin:"But that doesn't make any sense-" Obi Wan:"We'll sort that out later!"

The most frustrating thing about this movie is that with all the possible Star Wars stories to choose from Lucas chooses to beat this dead horse. CN did Clone Wars already. Give us something NEW!
Jay H. gave it a3:
I did not find much of this movie interesting at all and frequently found myself bored. The animation was unimpressive, as are the voice overs. Ho hum.

I am a religious star wars fan and this film is blasphemy. I can't believe Lucas let this happen. Star Wars is not fucking funny, it's not a f*cking comedy, this is serious shit and I piss on this movie.

I really wanted to try and like this movie, but it just wasn't that good. The script got a little silly at times with the forced puns, idiotic dialogue, terrible rants and obvious errors (Anakin is not a Master, for starters) which took away from the movie. The fight scenes, while few and far between, were not bad. I actually didn't have a problem with the animation style. It would have been nice to have more of the actors from the movies reprise their roles, but the fill-ins did an ok job. Overall, the movie just felt like a 90 minute trailer for the series due out this fall. It probably isn't worth your money, unless you're a hard-core Star Wars fan, or all the other movies left are chick flicks or terrible comedies.
Mike G. gave it a4:
An ok movie for the young, I don't like skywalker, george lucas should have left winey jedi out of the order, anikin could still have turned to the dark side, but been more of a pleasure to watch as a jedi and the same for his supposed padawan that doesn't really fit the star wars universe. get someone else to make another real acting star wars trilogy.
Richie R. gave it a1:
Ok I see people saying that the animated characters seemed stiff and square and well was that so different from the rest of the star wars prequel acting? The movie seemed ok but not as fantastic as the movies that made the star wars franchise so popular (IV, V, VI). I give it one star for the efforts on the animation other from that *yawn* nothing special. The star wars stories are getting too drawn out with less appeal as it carries on (theatrically).
