I tried rewatching "Attack of the Clones." It is such a mix of good and bad.

Ewan McGregor and Ian McDiarmid are fantastic in the roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Sheev Palpatine, respectively. But a lot of the dialogue is super corny and lame, and some of the Anakin/Padme scenes are so cringy-inducing and awkward that they're nigh impossible to watch. And honestly, Natalie Portman just sucks.

You must be one die hard fan of Star wars if you can find any good in that movie 🤔

@CrustyDDingus A lot of people considered McDiarmid's performance to be god-tier. And honestly, the story line is enjoyable. The whole mystery of the Kamino cloning operation is pretty intriguing.

Oh, and Christopher Lee as Count Dooku was great. Although I have to admit, despite being possibly my favorite actor in the world, Sam Jackson's performance as Mace Windu is pretty underwhelming.

@BlueMetalChick I admit, I was pretty tired of Star wars at that point. I grew up when that marketing machine was just starting to churn out games and special editions for the original trilogy. I forget you weren't exposed to all that nonsense growing up, so you're likely not as jaded as I am.

@CrustyDDingus Well there's that, and also I hit the series from Episode I to start with after reading the prequel story line as comics.
