Critics Consensus

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

The movie really is just a series of long emotionless action scenes. That's really all this movie is.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The "Star Wars" franchise has become what the marketing executive always thought: an excuse to steal money from children. The Lucas empire has finally succumbed to the Dark Side.

Despite some absolutely gorgeous animation and adjusting expectations for what Clone Wars is meant to be, the Force is not strong with this one.

This is a film I always find myself going back to due to its comedic moments and amazing action scenes.

Not a friendly flick for anyone who hasn't stayed on top of the Bunyanesque, expanded universe timeline.

Rated: 5/10

literally all of the other movie critics are wrong I saw someone said that the animation was trash like this came out in the 2000s of course the animation isn't gonna be good so instead of doing what I did and searching up what critics think just watch the show and see if you like it or not but in my opinion clone wars is one of the next series star wars have ever produced
