Consensus: Mechanical animation and a less-than stellar script make The Clone Wars a pale shadow of George Lucas' once great franchise.

On the front lines of an intergalactic struggle between good and evil, fans young and old will join such favorite characters as Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padmé Amidala, along with brand-new heroes like Anakin’s padawan learner, Ahsoka. Sinister villains – led by Palpatine, Count Dooku and General Grievous – are poised to rule the galaxy. Stakes are high, and the fate of the Star Wars universe rests in the hands of the daring Jedi Knights. Their exploits lead to the action-packed battles and astonishing new revelations that fill STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS. --© Warner Bros. [More]

Reviews for The Clone Wars
It's the finest 97-minute advertisement for Yoda underpants released this week.
It's the finest 97-minute advertisement for Yoda underpants released this week.
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
The new feature-length Star Wars cartoon is so cute that I want to hug it. Tightly. Until it stops breathing.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a movie that ignited imaginations and redefined adventure. It's kind of sad that this generation only gets a retread.
If this were a true Star Wars film, right about now somebody would say, '... I've got a bad feeling about this.'
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.
If you're willing to regress to the mental age of 12 for a couple of hours, it's an amusing ride.
As Star Wars movies go, The Clone Wars is minor to the point of irrelevance, nothing more than a stylized direct-to-DVD shrug projected onto a big screen while Lucas launches two more TV series filling in prequel blanks better left empty.
should be taken as a piece of the extended universe fiction that you'll find in role-playing games, pulp fiction and paperback releases
If it weren't for the laser cannons and light sabers, you might think you were watching Gettysburg.
May be a better-than-average Saturday morning cartoon, but as a theatrical feature, it has limited appeal to young kids and the few diehard fans who'll be able to overlook some of the silliness inherent in the story.
This ugly, lumbering mess feels strangely like a tired Star Wars wanna-be, but made by people with the rights to the characters.
This is not really a stand-alone movie at all. It's more a cheeky long trailer for the new TV series of the same name due to start on the Cartoon Channel on October 3.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, Star Wars was fun. I miss that time.
If this movie career thing doesn't work out for George Lucas, there's a career waiting for him in the dairy industry. He can milk things like no other.
A very minor, instantly forgettable footnote to one of the most popular cinematic series of all time.
Apart from the new ground Ahsoka breaks as the first female Jedi, The Clone Wars is a pointless experiment in computer-generated (CG) animation.
Though visually engaging, overall the film is a mixed bag of the strengths and weaknesses of the sci-fi world Lucas created.
