Review: Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Although the movie doesn't open till August 15 in the US, August 20 in the Philippines and August 23 in Japan, some early reviews are already trickling in, thanks to press screenings. Oneal and I were able to catch the movie in Tokyo, Japan, at an exclusive Warner Bros. press screening on July 22, right after Celebration Japan!

The Clone Wars is packed with great action: all excitement and thrills. One of my favorite things about the Star Wars movies was the space battles: the dogfights, the trench run, the capital ships going head to head, all the evasive maneuvers, the creative piloting. Here there are no space battles, but the conflicts are just as intense. The ground battles don’t exactly take place on the ground, and that’s part of the excitement. Not only do you see the clone troopers and the battle droids in action, but you also see the different fighting styles of the different Jedi—and the Sith too! Each fight, each skirmish has you holding your breath, wincing at each clash, shrieking at victories. Sometimes the battles are so intense that they remind me of World War II movies.
