If You Loved Star Wars: Attack of the Clones, Watch These 8 Next

You loved Attack of the Clones. No judgment. Okay, a little judgment. Here are eight movies with the same CGI worlds, stiff romance and big-army energy.

Number 1 is the one you skipped in theaters. Fight me.

1. 8
   Doctor Strange (2016)8.4

   Arrogant chosen guy joins a robed order. Hello, Anakin.

   Mentors in robes, a student who thinks rules are for other people, trippy fights. 8.4 movie.guru score, though the Guru's Take is only 6.8 because the cape carries too many scenes.
2. 7
   Wonder Woman (2017)8.3

   Forbidden romance in a war, done with actual chemistry.

   Same recipe: sheltered warrior, outsider love, a war bigger than both of them. Gal Gadot and Chris Pine sell it. $823.97 million worldwide and 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.
3. 6
   Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)7.2

   More handmade creatures per frame than any prequel.

   An ancient army waiting to march, royal heirs, a weird alien market. Guru's Take is 7.9, higher than its 7.2 movie.guru score. Critics liked it more than audiences did.
4. 5
   Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)8.2

   Orlando Bloom does the hothead apprentice thing, but fun.

   Swords, a cursed crew, a young hothead learning from a rogue. Released in 2003, one year after Clones. IMDb 8.1 from 1.35 million votes.
5. 4
   Avatar (2009)8.5

   Wooden lines, gorgeous planet. You already know this deal.

   Same trade Clones made: whole worlds built in a computer, dialogue that clanks. $2.92 billion worldwide proves people forgive almost anything for a good alien sunset.
6. 3
   Return of the Jedi (1983)8.5

   Critics never got it. Audiences always did. Classic.

   Critics beat 63%, audiences 99%, CinemaScore A+. Same saga, same crowd-versus-critics fight Clones fans live in, on a reported $32.5 to 42.7 million budget.
7. 2
   Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)8.1

   Three movies' worth of budget, zero shame. Respect.

   A reported $350 to 460 million budget, family drama on an ocean world, wall-to-wall CGI. Guru's Take is 6.9, but $2.33 billion worldwide says you went anyway.
8. 1
   Kalki 2898 AD (2024)7.3

   The best Clones follow-up is a Telugu epic you skipped.

   Prophecy, a bounty hunter, a desert future, a towering empire. Only $18.3 million domestic, so most of you missed it. 7.3 movie.guru score and the most Clones-coded pick here.

$347.53 says someone in the comments defends the sand line before they finish reading #1.
