Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Flaws aside (and plentiful), I still liked it.

Even though it will play better when broken down into 20+ minute segments, I kind of liked "Star Wars: The Clone Wars". Not as much as the previous animated effort, of course, but it nevertheless fits in to the Star Wars universe with a little getting-used-to.

My gripes:

1) I never took Obi-Wan for a wisecracking warrior. His personality as portrayed in this movie is not my favorite depiction.

2) Even though the battles provide nearly non-stop action, it is still somehow tedious. That's where smaller doses may be more entertaining and less mind-numbing.

3) The music was awful! The variation of the Star Wars theme makes the Meco version of the '70's sound classic. My friends claim any music NOT using the theme is quite good, but I can't seem to get past it.

Horribly-reviewed, I'm curious to see how it rates on TV. My previous bitterness towards George Lucas for trying to milk a little more out of the franchise by releasing "The Clone Wars" theatrically has dissipated in the wake of its disastrous box office performance.

I'd say it's a shame, but there's really no reason to see it when it will be in your home for free in just a few weeks.
