It's not a bad movie. I hadn't seen it since i was little so i wanted to know why everyone hated it.

Yea Jar Jar was dumb, but he wasn't that bad. Overall I thought it was a pretty solid movie. I still don't understand all the hate.

... As long as you acknowledge it doesn't feel remotely like the Original Trilogy we're cool.
Otherwise we may have a problem.

It's not nearly as bad as the 2nd movie.

I still wonder to this day, how you have a movie called CLONE WARS, which is supposed to be about big fucking battles, and you somehow fit some fanfic esc love story into it.

Good going, Lucas.

It's okay.
Coming from watching the sweeping scenes and brilliant space battles of the Original Trilogy though, it's shit.

It's hard to live up to the original trilogy. Pair that with over 30 years of nostalgia and you have an unwinnable battle.

Not saying the movie was good, because I honestly thought the only good parts were the pod racing and ending fight, but yeah.

The healthy man does not torture others - generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.
I enjoyed it, the kid was cute. The bad guy was cool.

But the hate comes from it was expected to live up to huge expectations I guess. Being Star Wars and all.

same thing my dad said. He grew up on the originals and saw each one of them as they came out in theaters, but even so he admits the Prequels were good, but unfortunately it couldn't live up to all the hype.

I feel like the 3rd prequel was the best. The dialogue was bad, but it has good action.

I'm going to relate this to now, though, and say I bet the new Ghostbusters will be hated for the same reasons.

Honestly, that's the problem with the Prequel Trilogy. I imagine with better dialogue and some other changes they'd be perfectly fine movies, but they're still nothing like Star Wars.

I don't expect anything to live up to the original films, but I can think of a million ways the PT could have felt more like Star Wars.

For one, what happened to the aesthetics? Star Wars is unique in that the tech, for the most part, isn't pristine, futuristic, or beautiful; it's worn, grimy, etc. Heck, Slave I is inspired by a damn streetlamp if I recall correctly. And in the case of the Empire, with it's pristine, austere corridors, the ships still aren't Lamborghinis, they're monolithic flying triangles.

I could go on and on, the latter is but one example of how the PT failed to capture some of the magic of the OT.

i do agree that the starships look crappy.

besides the jedi starfighter form ep2. that shit was sexy.

Yeah the Jedi starfighters in both II and III were pretty cool. I also liked the Republic's Venator Class star destroyers, with the dorsal hangar.

I like hugs and making the world a better place. That and guns. Lots and lots of guns.
I hate it how they try to hit the opponents lightsabers more then they try to hit the other person. They sacrifice tactical advantage for fancy spin moves and choreography.

That's basically what everyone feels. 3rd one tied into the 4th one well.

don't*

Seriously not using contractions make your posts read really awkwardly. inb4 defensiveness
Then do not read them. It is not something I do on purpose, it is just how I have typed for years.
That is kind of weird to me. Why do you do that? Just curious, I'm not judging or anything.

I don't think it's the Star Wars fans on this one, m8.

Unless you're just being a silly chuckle fuck.
