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...

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Memorable, crazy movie
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Clone wars has everything Star Wars fans wanted in the Prequel's great characters Rex,Cody,Cad Bane and so many more if you are a Star Wars fan you have to watch The Clone Wars series!
What can I say about the new chapters of the great saga of the "Far-distant Galaxy"? To say that it is amazing, that it is exciting and that it is fascinating - means to say nothing.The series seemed to have poured new blood into the Star Wars. And now the fact that I was impressed with him:1. Clones ... for the first time in the history of the series (including numerous comic books, books, games and individual stories) the clones showed LIVE! From now on, these are not soulless faceless machines for murders. These are ordinary people, just like you or me. They also think, they experience, they feel and feel fear. For the first time in the history of the series, my heart bleeds when another soldier settles on the ground with a black hole in white mandororian armor. Each clone is like a brother and at the same time is incredibly unique. This is shown especially well in the series (it seems first, but perhaps the memory changes me), where Master Yoda with a bunch of clones had to make his way to the ruler of no-remember-what-planet to conclude a contract before Darth Tiranus (Count Dooku in the common people). It is there that the great Yoda reveals to each of his brothers his uniqueness.2. Music. Well ... what can I say. The music of John Williams is, of course, good. But ... it is a little outdated (in my case - fed up). In addition, it absolutely does not approach the action, which unfolds in the series. Kevin Kainer was able not only to create an atmosphere of what is happening. His compositions literally tell us what's happening on the screen, perfectly fitting into the picture (although it would have been perfectly listened to without it).3. Graphics. Many scold this series and full-length for the graphic component. I do not know about you, but I liked it. And George Lucas, too. In one of his interviews, he said that he specifically decided to use just such a graphic style.4. Humor. A good deal of sound humor is also there. If someone says that the droids joke flatly and in a way that is not funny, then do not believe this person, because most likely he does not have a sense of humor, or he did not hear, but learned about it from the stories of one deaf-mute (yes forgive me these people, for I did not mean anything insulting). If many of the droid's phrases are simply ridiculous, then some make you literally cry with laughter.5. The plot. I'm delighted that I can finally see what happened during the clone war, so I'll add it to this list.6. Action. Neither in a fairy tale, nor describe with a pen. Such brutal battle scenes you have never seen, and camera work just blows the roof) Music adds effect.Bottom line: what do we get as a result? A grinding blend that is svezhakom in the saga. But the most important thing here is the mapping of clones. The number of Jedi here is quite understandable, since this is the series of fighters in white armor. Honestly, I would gladly have looked at all six episodes again if they were re-released in the same style.
This is not a Star Wars movie, so it's hard to understand why they tried to label it as one. It takes place in the Star Wars galaxy with characters from the Star Wars movies, but if anything it's a TV-special. It's obviously targeting a much younger crowd than the movies, but I feel you can do this without dumbing down the story to such a degree as this movie does.I don't mind the look of the show/movie, the characters are recognizable, and the style is true to itself. It seems like they tried to use computer animation that would not age too bad - choosing a rubber/plastic look over something more organic. This works best for the robots and the alien characters - the humans ends up feeling more like dolls. The voice actors (some of which are the original actors from the movie!) do an okay job with what they are given, but the lifeless characters are not able to convey the emotions of what is being said.But that's not even the movie's main problem. The movie's problem is that it is very obviously pieced together episodes from a TV-show. The seams are almost showing! Releasing something like this as a "home media" compilation - like they often do with cartoon shows - would make sense. But as a feature length theatrical movie under the Star Wars banner?! Madness.
The main problem with this movie was that it was released in theaters, giving fans the impression that it was the next Star Wars movie. However, it's really just the pilot episode of the Clone Wars TV series, and as the pilot episode of a TV series it's solid. Go into it expecting this and I think you'll enjoy it. But if you're expecting the next Star Wars movie you'll most certainly be disappointed.The episode itself is fairly middle-of-the-road, as far as the series goes. The plot is pretty straight-forward and not particularly exciting, involving Jabba the Hutt's child being abducted and needing rescue by the Jedi to establish a strategic advantage in the war against the Separatists. The stakes just never seem particularly high, and the main goal seems to be just to introduce the characters and the basic premise of the show. There are much better episodes of the TV series, but we don't normally judge an entire series by a single episode, and although this episode isn't particularly great, the series itself is quite impressive, only getting better as the series progresses. So I do recommend watching this as the beginning of a very enjoyable TV series!
