Thanks to Dave and wsantoso for the alerts!

Nick Dixon sends this:

I'm a TV Reporter in Glasgow, Scotland and I attended a very busy (400+) screening of Attack of the Clones at lunchtime. What a blast!

I was a little concerned about certain aspects of the movie after reading reviews but..I was worrying about nothing. I thought the film was fabulous. The Anakin-Padme love story was pretty convincing to me (some of the reviews I've read are particularly scathing about this and I now I really don't know why), FX mindblowing, Obi Wan was fantastic, dialogue was typical Star Wars stuff and as for Yoda... amazing. I really can't wait to see it again. I was there with my girlfriend, a non-SW fan, who loved it and also a 12 year old who was absolutely thrilled by it! I'd be surprised if many Star Wars fans are disappointed by this film.

Roll on Episode 3!

Jeff Mullen also sends this report in from the New York screening:

PRE-PARTY

So I just got back from the NYC Premiere and I must say that the Children's Aid Society put on a great pre-party show. To sum the pre-party show up in a few words ... about 75 professionally dressed actors ... professional gymnists doing some hardcore light saber duels on the balcony levels of the Embassy Suites ... a free star wars arcade (including no-pay cranes in which you could win all the new 5 1/4 inch figs) ... and yes NATALIE PORTMAN. Probably the second most satifying experience I have had in these wee 23 years was seeing Natalie Portman turn her head ... look at me ... smile ... then go back to auto-graph giving. (Other celebs I saw in person were Gov. Pataki, Susan Sarandon (who the hell knows how to spell this stuff), DENNIS LEARY (YEAH!!!!!), Liv Tyler (sitting next to Macauly Caulkan, James Earl Jones, Dan Akroyd ...)

REVIEW

Now onto the most satisfying experience (Natalie, if your reading this, I'm lying ... you were the most satisfying experience) ... ATTACK OF THE CLONES.

THIS WILL BE A NO SPOILER REVIEW SO READ ON.

There is no Spider-man, there is only Clones. As much as I loved Spider-man, Clones is amazing and will be the favorite of many for the next three years. In Speilberg's words "its my favorite". I know I might be hasty in saying such words, but WOW. For those who read the negative reviews ... all you should take out of it is who will be looking for a new after the summer is over.

They said the love story sucked ... it was one of my favorite aspects of the film ...

They said the CGI looked fake and nothing technically new was done in the film ... The CGI was the best I've seen to date and there was definately a shot that I've never seen done before (imagine completely CGI world ... Toggle Iris out ... Zoom Iris in ... it gave the impression of a ground level handheld camera being manly being used to zoom into an entirely CGI shot).

They said the movie sucked ... Clones is arguably the best one to date. If you watched the overeall reaction of everyone after the film it was a most definate "HOLY S***". If you have allowed yourself to hear some spoilers DON'T WORRY, you're safe, you will be surprised. For those that have seen every trailer and commercial a few hundred times. Don't Worry, you haven't seen Anything.

If I could have one thing changed about clones??? I would make it 4 hours long... I mean I wish I could have sat next to Natalie Portman (I never thought much about her but after see clones ... Natlie Portman defines perfection)

Prepare yourselves guys ... Jeff Mullen
