The biggest point of criticism was the love story, followed by Hayden Christensen's acting. Again, those that like the prequels don't seem to mind this. The points of praise lie in the main story, with Obi-Wan's investigation into the clone army and Separatist uprising and the last 30 minutes are thrilling.
----
!!Tropes Mostly Particular To This Film:
* ActorAllusion: ChristopherLee plays [[{{Dracula}} an evil count whose name starts with a D]].
** Who is also [[LordOfTheRings an evil, scheming "magician" who is used by the BigBad to build an army]].
** Obi-Wan Kenobi effectively telling a drug dealer to [[{{Trainspotting}} choose life]] is either this or coincidental placement of standard-issue DrugsAreBad.
* AffablyEvil: Count Dooku, in this installment.
* AgonyBeam: Force Lightning
* AggressiveNegotiations: TropeNamer
* AlasPoorYorick: Young Boba Fett holds the helmet of his father Jango Fett.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Possibly implied by Captain Typho's comment about being more worried about Senator Padme trying something foolish, than Anakin. YourMileageMayVary, as he might just as well be referring to an impulsive nature rather than a lustful one.
* ApologeticAttacker: [=C-3PO=] while his head is stuck to an autonomous battle droid's body.
* AscendedExtra: The revelation of Jango and Boba Fett's involvment with the greater story of the galaxy is certainly because of Boba's surprising popularity in the original trilogy, who was meant to be a low-key, nondescript badass.
* BadassArmy: The Clone Troopers.
* BadassNormal: Jango Fett of course. The guy proves to be exceptionally good at fighting (and killing) Jedi.
* BadassGrandpa: Yoda of course.
** As well as Count Dooku.
* BareYourMidriff / ClothingDamage: Amidala gets the former from the latter.
** Bordering on Stripperiffic. One wonders exactly what sort of "diplomatic" technique she was planning to capitalize on in that white, skin-tight outfit...
** Happens even before that on Tatooine, where she wears a pseudo-Arabian outfit.
* BigDamnHeroes: Twice in the final act of the film; first time occurs when Mace Windu shows up with over 200 hundred Jedi to rescue Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme from Dooku. After many of them being killed off in the following battle against the droids and Geonosians, it happens again; with Yoda and the Clone Troopers showing up (this one goes over much better; they actually win).
* BlatantLies: "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe."
** "It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I love democracy. I love the Republic.]] The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated."
* BodyGuardCrush: Convient for Anakin because he was already in love with Padme.
* CallForward: [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker%27s_first_lightsaber Anakin's lightsaber]] in this film is basically a PaletteSwap of [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Vader%27s_lightsaber the one used by Darth Vader]] during the Original Trilogy.
* CaptainObvious: "I killed them. [[RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy I killed them all]]. [[CaptainObvious They're dead.]] Every single one of them. [[TooMuchInformation And not just the men; but the women. And the children too]]." - Anakin Skywalker
** Another in a deleted scene, where Anakin and Padme are put on "trial" for espionage. Padme tells Archduke Poggle the Lesser that he's committing an act of war, and says that she hopes he's prepared to face the consequences. Poggle responds with "We build weapons, Senator. Of course we're prepared!"
** Yoda: "But for certain, senator. In grave danger you are."
* CasualDangerDialogue: Obi-Wan and Anakin are pretty fond of doing this. The most notable instance is while chasing Zam Wessel.
* TheCavalry: The above example with the Clone Troopers.
* ChainedToARock
* TheChampion: When Anakin professes his love for Padme he says that he will do anything she asks.
* TheChessmaster: Dooku attempts to have Padmé assassinated and instigates a war between the Republic and the Separatists. And escapes at the end.
* TheCityNarrows: The lower levels of Coruscant's giant city towers which is stuck in perma-night due to the shadows of the impossibly tall buildings.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Several that Anakin and Padme survive by the skin of their teeth in the droid factory on Geonosis.
* CreatorBacklash: Jar Jar Binks actually ''looks into the camera and smiles''. The message to the fanbase is quite clear.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: We all knew Yoda must have been amazing in his prime, but this movie was the first to show it.
** And he wasn't even in his ''prime''. Imagine what he would have been like when he was only 400 years old!
** This is also the first film where we get to see Mace Windu in action. Since he's played by SamuelLJackson, we all knew he was going to be a {{badass}}, but we never got to see this side of him in the first movie.
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: The whole deal with [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sifo-Dyas Sifo-Dyas]] in the backstory seems like this but isn't; it's all breezed over so quickly that misunderstandings are inevitable.
* DeusExMachina: Just when it looks like Dooku and his cronies are going to execute the heroes and slaughter the Jedi sent to rescue them...a massive army of superhuman clone soldiers descends from the sky to rescue them, at just the right time.
* DisposablePilot: When Obi-Wan and Anakin take a clone-piloted gunship in pursuit of Dooku, said gunship is blasted into flaming scrap within ten seconds of them being dropped off.
* DualWielding: Anakin fights Dooku with two lightsabers at one point. Unfortunately, it only lasts a short while before he's forced to switch back to one.
* DubNameChange: Count Dooku's name was changed to Dookan in the Brazilian dub, due to an [[AssShove unfortunate innuendo]] involving the character's name.
* FairytaleWeddingDress
* FanService: Several of Padme's outfits, but especially her [[BareYourMidriff bare midriff]] due to ClothingDamage near the end of the film.
* ForceFeeding: That scene with Anakin and the pear-like thing. [[IncrediblyLamePun Come on, you know it's funny.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the very end of the film, the Imperial March plays as Palpatine looks over a mass of Clone Troopers, a very interesting use of music to do this.
** There's also Count Dooku switching off a hologram of the Death Star plans and taking them with him to keep safe.
** R5-D4, who blows his motivator in episode IV, rolls right by R2-D2 in the opening shot of Tatooine.
** "Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?" - Obi-Wan to Anakin. [[StarWarsANewHope Come two episodes later...]]
* FoundTheKillerLostTheMurderer: Enacted by Jango Fett with great prejudice.
* GambitRoulette: Most of the plot. If you can decipher it.
* GunshipRescue: Easily one of the archetypical uses of the trope - Yoda, Jedi Knights and a squad of Clone Troopers land gunships in the arena just in time to rescue Padme and Anakin.
* HeldGaze: This happens between Anakin and Padme twice: once as a gentle lover's gaze into each other's eyes, and then later as an indicator they are about to BigDamnKiss.
* HollywoodTactics: Battle of Geonosis, shoulder to shoulder clone troopers and droids blasting away at a mere few meters. Also the Jedi in the arena, charging straight at the army of droids and not sticking together in the ensuing melee.
** Actually subverted in the case of the Republic. They're shown to be using combined arms tactics (gunships firing on ground targets, artillery in the background) while the Separatists just seem to be charging at them.
** It must also be noted that, prior to the clones intervening, the Jedi had basically lost.
* InstantThunder: Averted on Kamino, and lampshaded in the DVD commentary.
* InternetBacklash: Reportedly, some of the members of [=NSYNC=] were offered small roles as background extras as a favor to Lucas' daughters. Cue a massive wave of FanDumb until Lucas cut their scene out of the movie, though some reacted more positively when it was mentioned they were going to get slaughtered by battledroids...
* ItHasOnlyJustBegun: The last lines of the film.
-->Obi-Wan: I have to admit that without the clones, it would have not been a victory.
-->Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.
** [[ChristopherLee "This is just the beginning!"]]
* ItIsBeyondSaving: The separatists use this rationalization in a deleted scene.
* {{Jossed}}: Up until this film, it had generally been assumed, and accepted as {{fanon}}, if not {{canon}}, that the Clone Wars had been fought by the Republic ''against'' the Clones.
** Some EU writers got it right though, notably Timothy Zahn made it a point that in the early days the Empire made extensive use of clones to fill out their Stormtrooper ranks.
* KickTheDog: Anakin slaughtering an entire village of Tusken Raiders (including the children who never did anything!) just because a few of the people in the tribe killed his mom.
** By extension, the Tusken Raiders kidnapping his mother in the first place. All she was doing was out gathering mushrooms. They kidnap her and torture her to death for no reason.
* LegacyCharacter: This was the movie that turned Boba Fett into one; being the clone/son of Jango Fett. It was also the first time a definitive backstory was given for the mysterious bounty hunter.
* LeeroyJenkins: Anakin's initial approach to fighting Dooku. It doesn't work.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Anakin couldn't be more obvious about his attraction to Padme if he'd tried. She turns him down, saying that they shouldn't be together... But she also takes him to a beautiful secluded lake house retreat with no one around for miles, wearing very revealing outfits.
* MasterSwordsman: Yoda takes on Dooku. [[RuleOfCool It is awesome.]]
* MomentOfWeakness: Anakin in the Sand People village.
* MorallyBankruptBanker: A PlanetOfHats of them in the Banking Clan.
* MsFanService: Padmé.
* MythologyGag: Jango Fett bumping his head (with helmet on of course) on the door to ''Slave-1'', in a manner much like that one Stormtrooper in ''ANewHope'', and Boba's head-bump on ''Slave-1'''s door in ''TheEmpireStrikesBack''. Seems head-bumping is genetic amongst the clones.
* NiceHat: Watto looks better with his WWI-esque metal hat.
* NowOrNeverKiss: Anakin and Padme when they're about to be executed.
* OffWithHisHead: Mace Windu finally defeats [[spoiler: Jango Fett]] by beheading with his lightsaber.
* OhNoNotAgain: Anakin dives off a speeder in the middle of aerial traffic and all Obi-Wan can come up with is a mildly disgruntled "I hate it when he does that." Anakin also commented that his lightsaber had been destroyed once before.
* OneDimensionalThinking: seen in the Force duel between Dooku and Yoda, where Yoda never thinks to push a falling pillar off to the side instead of keeping it suspended in midair.
* PackedHero: Threepio in the combat droid factory.
* TheParagonAlwaysRebels: Count Dooku.
* PetTheDog: Sure Jango's a ruthless bounty hunter who's probably killed hundreds of people for money and sold his genetic legacy as a slave army, but you can't deny he's a pretty decent father for little Boba.
* RealMenWearPink: Mace Windu's purple lightsaber.
* RedHerring: When Anakin is trying to fight against the Geonosians inside of the Droid factory, he at one point gets his arm trapped within a piece of molded armor, and is drawing closer and closer to a crushing machine/cutting machine, causing the audience to think he'll lose his arm as a result of the battle. Turns out, he actually loses it during the battle with Dooku.
* RedShirt: One of the Geonosians gets eaten by one of the monsters (a Nexu) at the start of the arena scene.
* TheReptilians: Zam Wesell, the shape-shifting assassin, is one.
* RetCon: Mace Windu's lightsaber was originally supposed to be blue; his ''[[ThePhantomMenace Phantom Menace]]'' toys came with a blue lightsaber, and he also had a blue blade in the ''Jedi Power Battles'' [[TheProblemWithLicensedGames video game]]. Samuel L Jackson requested a purple lightsaber to make him more distinct.
* RevengeBeforeReason: Nute Gunray wants revenge against Padmé for stopping him when he, you know, ''invaded her planet and enslaved her people''. Talk about a sense of entitlement.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Anakin performs one of these on a camp of Tusken Raiders after they kill his mother.
* RoboticAssemblyLines: A battle actually took place in one of those.
* RuleOfSexy: There's no way getting scratched on the back would reveal the whole [[BareYourMidriff midriff]] all the way around the waist. But who cares?
** Granted, the nexu might have gotten a claw stuck in the fabric, causing it to rip off when it retracted its paw.
* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: Chapter 18 of the movie novelization actually did specify what Lama Su meant by a "unit". It's underwhelming to say the least.
* SexyBacklessOutfit: The dress Padmé wears to the lake house.
* ShirtlessScene: Anakin during his nightmare.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Anakin is still madly in love with Padme after going ''ten years'' without seeing or talking to her. Particularly {{Egregious}}, considering the last time he saw her he was a [[PrecociousCrush prepubescent kid with a crush]].
* SkewedPriorities: After Anakin's lightsaber is destroyed while he's trapped in the droid factory:
-->'''Anakin''': Not again. [[{{Irony}} Obi-Wan's gonna kill me]].
* SoftGlass: Obi Wan jumps through one to go after the droid.
* SpheroidDropship: The [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lucrehulk-class_Core_Ship Lucrehulk-class Core Ships]] are dual purpose ships. They're the central "command" core of the Trade Federation ships, but can also detach to serve as landing craft, or fly independently. This makes total sense since they are supposed to be essentially space tractor-trailer cargo haulers that the Trade Federation quickly slapped some guns on when they needed a war fleet.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: Padme, naturally.
** Also, although it's a minor detail, most of the woman in the bar that Zam Wessel hides in fit this trope to a T. There's even one who wears nothing but pants and a bikini top. But, you know, it's a nightclub.
* SoLastSeason: During the Battle of Geonosis, destroying Core Ships proves to do nothing to stop the battle droids; in the novelization the first time this happened the droids would shut down briefly, then reactivate when their built-in processors kicked in.
* TakeThat: Does anyone honestly believe that the line, "Open fire on those [[StarTrek Federation starships]]", is purely coincidence?
* TantrumThrowing: Anakin does this while ranting about how Obi-Wan's "holding him back."
* ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks: Subverted in the arena battle. [[spoiler:Obi-Wan throws a spear at a creature, only for said creature to take it out by reaching it with its mouth.]]
* ThrowItIn: Nick Gillard mentioned that he had worked on developing a signature lightsaber style for Mace Windu but SamuelLJackson had already devised the very smooth and efficient style you see in the film. "It's Sam Jackson, he has a style all his own."
* TookALevelInJerkass: Anakin to a very great extent. [[StartOfDarkness Kinda the point of course]]
* UnlimitedWardrobe: Amidala's had this trope since the beginning of the saga. Every single scene change necessitates a new PimpedOutDress.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The one thing that [[TheScrappy Jar Jar]] actually does in the movie other than stand in the background is to make a motion in the senate to grant Palpatine emergency powers. [[HorribleJudgeOfCharacter Good work there]].
* VillainsNeverLie: As per usual in ''Star Wars'': Dooku tells Obi-Wan the truth, albeit leaving out the fairly significant detail that he himself is a Sith Lord.
** Somewhat subverted in that Obi-Wan doesn't believe a word of it and just dismisses it as lies from a traitor.
* WatchingTheSunset: As the Clone Army ships lift off near the end of the movie. Visual shorthand for "[[TheEmpire dark times]] ahead".
* WeaponJr: "Training lightsabers" can be seen in use.

-->''There hasn't been a full scale war since the formation of the Republic.''\\
-- '''Governor Sio Bibble'''
->[[AC:There is unrest in the Galactic Senate. Several thousand solar systems have declared their intentions to leave the Republic.]]
->[[AC:This separatist movement, under the leadership of the mysterious Count Dooku, has made it difficult for the limited number of Jedi Knights to maintain peace and order in the galaxy.]]
->[[AC:Senator Amidala, the former Queen of Naboo, is returning to the Galactic Senate to vote on the critical issue of creating an ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC to assist the overwhelmed Jedi...]]
Although ''StarWars Episode 1: ThePhantomMenace'' [[YourMileageMayVary was a critical and fan disappointment, many were hoping it was just a slump. Those that liked the last film generally liked this one, but the others didn't feel it got any better.]]
The biggest point of criticism was the love story, followed by Hayden Christensen's acting. Again, those that like the prequels don't seem to mind this. The points of praise lie in the main story, with Obi-Wan's investigation into the clone army and Separatist uprising and the last 30 minutes are thrilling.
----
!!Tropes Mostly Particular To This Film:
* ActorAllusion: ChristopherLee plays [[{{Dracula}} an evil count whose name starts with a D]].
** Who is also [[LordOfTheRings an evil, scheming "magician" who is used by the BigBad to build an army]].
** Obi-Wan Kenobi effectively telling a drug dealer to [[{{Trainspotting}} choose life]] is either this or coincidental placement of standard-issue DrugsAreBad.
* AffablyEvil: Count Dooku, in this installment.
* AgonyBeam: Force Lightning
* AggressiveNegotiations: TropeNamer
* AlasPoorYorick: Young Boba Fett holds the helmet of his father Jango Fett.
* AllWomenAreLustful: Possibly implied by Captain Typho's comment about being more worried about Senator Padme trying something foolish, than Anakin. YourMileageMayVary, as he might just as well be referring to an impulsive nature rather than a lustful one.
* ApologeticAttacker: [=C-3PO=] while his head is stuck to an autonomous battle droid's body.
* AscendedExtra: The revelation of Jango and Boba Fett's involvment with the greater story of the galaxy is certainly because of Boba's surprising popularity in the original trilogy, who was meant to be a low-key, nondescript badass.
* BadassArmy: The Clone Troopers.
* BadassNormal: Jango Fett of course. The guy proves to be exceptionally good at fighting (and killing) Jedi.
* BadassGrandpa: Yoda of course.
** As well as Count Dooku.
* BareYourMidriff / ClothingDamage: Amidala gets the former from the latter.
** Bordering on Stripperiffic. One wonders exactly what sort of "diplomatic" technique she was planning to capitalize on in that white, skin-tight outfit...
** Happens even before that on Tatooine, where she wears a pseudo-Arabian outfit.
* BigDamnHeroes: Twice in the final act of the film; first time occurs when Mace Windu shows up with over 200 hundred Jedi to rescue Anakin, Obi-Wan and Padme from Dooku. After many of them being killed off in the following battle against the droids and Geonosians, it happens again; with Yoda and the Clone Troopers showing up (this one goes over much better; they actually win).
* BlatantLies: "I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe."
** "It is with great reluctance that I have agreed to this calling. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I love democracy. I love the Republic.]] The power you give me I will lay down when this crisis has abated."
* BodyGuardCrush: Convient for Anakin because he was already in love with Padme.
* CallForward: [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker%27s_first_lightsaber Anakin's lightsaber]] in this film is basically a PaletteSwap of [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Vader%27s_lightsaber the one used by Darth Vader]] during the Original Trilogy.
* CaptainObvious: "I killed them. [[RedundancyDepartmentOfRedundancy I killed them all]]. [[CaptainObvious They're dead.]] Every single one of them. [[TooMuchInformation And not just the men; but the women. And the children too]]." - Anakin Skywalker
** Another in a deleted scene, where Anakin and Padme are put on "trial" for espionage. Padme tells Archduke Poggle the Lesser that he's committing an act of war, and says that she hopes he's prepared to face the consequences. Poggle responds with "We build weapons, Senator. Of course we're prepared!"
** Yoda: "But for certain, senator. In grave danger you are."
* CasualDangerDialogue: Obi-Wan and Anakin are pretty fond of doing this. The most notable instance is while chasing Zam Wessel.
* TheCavalry: The above example with the Clone Troopers.
* ChainedToARock
* TheChampion: When Anakin professes his love for Padme he says that he will do anything she asks.
* TheChessmaster: Dooku attempts to have Padmé assassinated and instigates a war between the Republic and the Separatists. And escapes at the end.
* TheCityNarrows: The lower levels of Coruscant's giant city towers which is stuck in perma-night due to the shadows of the impossibly tall buildings.
* ConveyorBeltODoom: Several that Anakin and Padme survive by the skin of their teeth in the droid factory on Geonosis.
* CreatorBacklash: Jar Jar Binks actually ''looks into the camera and smiles''. The message to the fanbase is quite clear.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: We all knew Yoda must have been amazing in his prime, but this movie was the first to show it.
** And he wasn't even in his ''prime''. Imagine what he would have been like when he was only 400 years old!
** This is also the first film where we get to see Mace Windu in action. Since he's played by SamuelLJackson, we all knew he was going to be a {{badass}}, but we never got to see this side of him in the first movie.
* DeceasedFallGuyGambit: The whole deal with [[http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sifo-Dyas Sifo-Dyas]] in the backstory seems like this but isn't; it's all breezed over so quickly that misunderstandings are inevitable.
* DeusExMachina: Just when it looks like Dooku and his cronies are going to execute the heroes and slaughter the Jedi sent to rescue them...a massive army of superhuman clone soldiers descends from the sky to rescue them, at just the right time.
* DisposablePilot: When Obi-Wan and Anakin take a clone-piloted gunship in pursuit of Dooku, said gunship is blasted into flaming scrap within ten seconds of them being dropped off.
* DualWielding: Anakin fights Dooku with two lightsabers at one point. Unfortunately, it only lasts a short while before he's forced to switch back to one.
* DubNameChange: Count Dooku's name was changed to Dookan in the Brazilian dub, due to an [[AssShove unfortunate innuendo]] involving the character's name.
* FairytaleWeddingDress
* FanService: Several of Padme's outfits, but especially her [[BareYourMidriff bare midriff]] due to ClothingDamage near the end of the film.
* ForceFeeding: That scene with Anakin and the pear-like thing. [[IncrediblyLamePun Come on, you know it's funny.]]
* {{Foreshadowing}}: At the very end of the film, the Imperial March plays as Palpatine looks over a mass of Clone Troopers, a very interesting use of music to do this.
** There's also Count Dooku switching off a hologram of the Death Star plans and taking them with him to keep safe.
** R5-D4, who blows his motivator in episode IV, rolls right by R2-D2 in the opening shot of Tatooine.
** "Why do I get the feeling you're going to be the death of me?" - Obi-Wan to Anakin. [[StarWarsANewHope Come two episodes later...]]
* FoundTheKillerLostTheMurderer: Enacted by Jango Fett with great prejudice.
* GambitRoulette: Most of the plot. If you can decipher it.
* GunshipRescue: Easily one of the archetypical uses of the trope - Yoda, Jedi Knights and a squad of Clone Troopers land gunships in the arena just in time to rescue Padme and Anakin.
* HeldGaze: This happens between Anakin and Padme twice: once as a gentle lover's gaze into each other's eyes, and then later as an indicator they are about to BigDamnKiss.
* HollywoodTactics: Battle of Geonosis, shoulder to shoulder clone troopers and droids blasting away at a mere few meters. Also the Jedi in the arena, charging straight at the army of droids and not sticking together in the ensuing melee.
** Actually subverted in the case of the Republic. They're shown to be using combined arms tactics (gunships firing on ground targets, artillery in the background) while the Separatists just seem to be charging at them.
** It must also be noted that, prior to the clones intervening, the Jedi had basically lost.
* InstantThunder: Averted on Kamino, and lampshaded in the DVD commentary.
* InternetBacklash: Reportedly, some of the members of [=NSYNC=] were offered small roles as background extras as a favor to Lucas' daughters. Cue a massive wave of FanDumb until Lucas cut their scene out of the movie, though some reacted more positively when it was mentioned they were going to get slaughtered by battledroids...
* ItHasOnlyJustBegun: The last lines of the film.
-->Obi-Wan: I have to admit that without the clones, it would have not been a victory.
-->Yoda: Victory? Victory you say? Master Obi-Wan, not victory. The shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the Clone War has.
** [[ChristopherLee "This is just the beginning!"]]
* ItIsBeyondSaving: The separatists use this rationalization in a deleted scene.
* {{Jossed}}: Up until this film, it had generally been assumed, and accepted as {{fanon}}, if not {{canon}}, that the Clone Wars had been fought by the Republic ''against'' the Clones.
** Some EU writers got it right though, notably Timothy Zahn made it a point that in the early days the Empire made extensive use of clones to fill out their Stormtrooper ranks.
* KickTheDog: Anakin slaughtering an entire village of Tusken Raiders (including the children who never did anything!) just because a few of the people in the tribe killed his mom.
