The movie is over 2 hours long? Kinda hard to take this review

Most of that is 'comedy' to keep the younger viewers entertained.
Goofy robots have been a staple of StarWars since C3PO appeared in the
opening minutes of the first film back in the 70's.
What is your problem with the clones having different hair, though?
They were not created to try and be stand-ins for each other. They
were created from the 'perfect soldier'. Having different names/
haircuts would make perfect sense when using them in group combat
situations.
