(1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1   4/10 "Clearly, the powers behind this convenient cash grab can't see the real reason Star Wars remains culturally significant. The Clone Wars is proof that, in some people's minds, it's nothing more than an easily reconfigured revenue stream."   PopMatters   Bill Gibron 3/4 "Clone Wars can be a complete gas to more open-minded fans, and assured catnip to children. The occasional sexually-ambiguous Hutt or sassmouthed, premenstrual Jedi aside, it's an exciting picture and a tempting commencement for the television serie"   Sci-Fi Movie Page   Brian Orndorf 2/5 "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, 'Star Wars' movies were actually fun."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 2/5 "Makes you wish for those Ewok movies, doesn't it?"   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius C "Might appeal to those under twelve, as the kid-friendly epic has video game watchability."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 1.5/4 "George Lucas' desire to suck a few more dollars out of the consumers' pockets has led to a roaring creative misstep."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D- "Remember how people talked about the Star Wars prequels like they were the worst movies ever made, when really, come on, they weren't THAT bad? The Clone Wars actually IS that bad."   Film.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "The animation really needs some oompf and seems to actively work at being unlike a "Star Wars" movie..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. C- "A very minor, instantly forgettable footnote to one of the most popular cinematic series of all time."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/5 "One tedious battle scene after another."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "I can't say that Vicky Cristina Barcelona would have been a great movie without the narration, but it would have been better."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "CGI Star Wars saga is dull, despite action."   Common Sense   James Rocchi 1/4 "The degeneration of the "Star Wars" saga continues unabated with this latest, most kid-friendly Lucas-produced assault on the memory of the once-beloved franchise."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito B+ "should be taken as a piece of the extended universe fiction that you'll find in role-playing games, pulp fiction and paperback releases"   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 2/4 "Relentless dullness."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C "The Clone Wars elicits some pangs of nostalgia with its grand battles, alien landscapes, and beloved characters but yields little more than fuzzy thoughts of what used to be."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[P]retty darn awesome... [a]t least as far as overblown Saturday morning cartoons go..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2.5/4 "Watching the computer-animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars, I felt a most unusual mixture of delight and regret."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C "Oh, George Lucas. Please stop diluting the franchise."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Inconsequentiality is a pox upon the proceedings, draining any trace of narrative tension from countless large-scale conflicts that soon overwhelm the screen with stormtroopers, droids, explosions and laser blasts."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 2/5 "Quando Lucas irá perceber que, ao insistir em espremer sua criação por mais alguns trocados, está apenas sabotando o próprio legado?"   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "It is so bad that it could well rival the infamous "Star Wars Holiday Special" as the single most useless piece of "Star Wars"-related entertainment ever made and at least in that legendary disaster, the animated aspect was actually not too bad."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 2.5/5 "With beautifully inventive animation, this latest chapter in George Lucas' saga is a frantic series of action scenes without a heart."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D "Is The Clone Wars really the pilot for a Star Wars television series, or is it a last-ditch effort to make the prequel trilogy look better via retrospective comparison?"   Projection Booth   Rob Humanick B- "The Clone Wars is what it is -- what Star Wars has become, for better or for worse -- and while it won't blow anyone over, you can't say you weren't warned going in."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux C+ "Aimed at the serious Star Wars fan who is interested in exploring some new corners of the Star Wars universe."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 7/10 "At the risk of over-doing a good thing, if that hasn't been done already, Lucas and crew cuts the final link to reality by going full animation with Star Wars. A righteous battle, but one that will appeal to ever decaying audiences"   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson C- "... less a movie than a marketing event: a feature-length promo for the upcoming TV series and video game tie-in."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker "The movie gets more cluttered and confused as it moves along, though it's dotted with so many generic battle scenes and paint-by-numbers light-saber combat sequences that you can see how it's at least attempting to mimic the illusion of excitement."   Salon.com   Stephanie Zacharek "In its own way THE CLONE WARS is quite an achievement: it almost perfectly synthesizes everything that has been wrong with the films since%u2026 oh, well - Return of the Jedi."   ESplatter   Steve Biodrowski 3/10 "While the Force may falter on the big-screen, 'Clone Wars' should do far better this fall as a new, half-hour weekly TV series, starting Oct. 3rd on the Cartoon Network."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 4/10 "Better than Episode I and Episode II. True, many of the same flaws are present - awful dialogue, contrived narrative - but at least The Clone Wars is much shorter."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton  (1 - 32) of 32 OFCS Rating: 19% Rotten Page   1
