'Attack of the Clones:' Our reviewers chime in
(CNN) -- It has been said that the "Star Wars" films are critic-proof. The most recent addition to the saga, 1999's "The Phantom Menace," was roasted by many but still earned more than $400 million. Even the first one, which opened in 1977, was dismissed at the time by some critics as being an overblown Saturday matinee -- which didn't affect its box office one whit. Of course, that matinee feeling is one reason why the films are so beloved: They can be wondrous thrill rides that tap into the child in us all. Audiences are fervent in their "Star Wars" fandom, which has helped the franchise gross $1.5 billion in North America alone.
Now comes "Star Wars: Episode II -- Attack of the Clones." Will it make a zillion dollars? Almost assuredly. Is it a great movie? Well, that's a question for the critics as much as for the fans. CNN.com's own masters of the film universe, Paul Clinton and Paul Tatara, have their own opinions on "Attack of the Clones." What do they have to say? Click below and find out.
