Critic Reviews

  • Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

    It moves fast, conquers armies, kicks into hyperspace and spits out idiotic quips with unapologetic cartoon brio.

  • Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle

    The visuals are worthy, but the big screen brings the movie's script shortcomings and pacing problems into sharper relief.

  • Nathan Lee, New York Times

    Star Wars: The Clone Wars comes as something of a surprise: it isn't the most painful movie of the year!

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    One of the more mediocre entries in the entire Star Wars catalogue.

  • Joanne Kaufman, Wall Street Journal

    Visually busy and visually forgettable, with a less than engaging story line, and characters who look like anime figures and move like the denizens of Geppetto's workshop, Wars will appeal only to the most tolerant, galactically minded children.

    Garbage. Why did they make this??

  • Alexander D


    Skip this waste of time. It's probably the worst movie I've ever seen. I thought THE PHANTOM MENACE was comparably bad--then I saw this. Don't make the same mistake as me. STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS really is not a "Star Wars" movie. It was the… More

    This is a truly horrible film and almost ruins the film series by being crappy. This may be a TV show pilot, but its a tv show that should not have been made. I hated this movie so much.
