Why are you watching them chronologically? That's like playing MGS chronologically.

They aren't tbh

Just nerds being nerds.

I did the same, since they aired on TV, except they went 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 3

Definitely didn't enjoy the prequels as much

Literally no likable characters except for Obi Wan

anakin (was annoying in TPM, but w/e)
qui-gon
padme
palpatine
jar jar
3PO and R2
dooku
mace windu
yoda
jango
grievous
etc.

Shit acting except for Obi Wan

acting is the shittiest possible reason to gauge a movie's quality
and it wasn't even that bad

Butchering of fan loved characters except for Obi Wan

like who

Pretty shit story, even worse next to the original trilogy

i'll give you that

remind me why these movies are bad again

Phantom menace was just eh, nowhere near as bad as everyone makes them out to be, and still enjoyable at points but it still wasn't what i'd consider "good" by any stretch of the imagination. It suffered mainly from lack of focus, mild pacing issues, pretty boring characters, and overuse of CG.

Attack of the Clones was godawful, the CG was on par with Jimmy Neutron Happy Family Happy Hour, the overuse of it was taken to the billionth degree, Anikin was a fucking awful character and an unrelatable tool, the interaction between characters was absolutely atrocious as if George Lucas had never interacted with another human being in his life before, and the story was fucking shite.

Revenge of the Sith was OK. CG was still overused, pacing was still off and the acting was still bad at times, they made Yoda a complete fucking shit-teir fighter....oh and Count Douku...but if you can appreciate it for what it was going for its much more entertaining to watch, plus, I absolutely love Sidious in this movie, and Anikin as nowhere near as shitty as he was in Attack of the Clones and is much more understandable in his actions and not just a whiny bitch.



(Daily reminder that Jar-Jar wasn't that bad)

The prequels have classic sheev moments.

Machete order is a p bad way to watch the movies, as it just misses out an entire movie.

a movie that, in all honesty, holds no bearing on the rest of the general plot
that's why it's skipped

but i mean, i would've watched it anyway--precisely after empire, because i don't like the idea of skipping movies either

]anakin (was annoying in TPM, but w/e)
qui-gon
padme
palpatine
jar jar
3PO and R2

Most of those characters are just faces in the background and we didn't get to know them at all
Qui Gon had such potential but then they killed him off in the first movie
And lol Jar Jar

acting is the shittiest possible reason to gauge a movie's quality
and it wasn't even that bad

Not really
It can really make or break a movie
Especially when you have such a shitty script as the prequels

like who

C3PO turned into from funny to just annoying and the R2 + C3PO chemistry wasn't there
Yoda did nothing but sit in a counsel
And obviously Anakin
What they did to him was unforgivable 

I think the biggest single problem other than the overused CGi, shoddy acting and pacing issues that muddies most of the Prequel Trilogy is the retarded and illogical bullshit that Anikin gets angsty over, espesialy in Attack of The Clones Next to nothing Anikin whines about in AotK is even a valid complaint, like when he keeps ranting about Obi Wan holding him back; How? When the fuck did anything like that ever take place?

It's mostly gone in Revenge of the Sith, but not completely. Remeber how he gets butthurt that they didn't grant him the title of Jedi Master when they appointed him to the Council, even though he clearly understood that his appointment was purely political and not because he actually earned the place.

All this things heavily detract from the important conflicts with the Jedi Order that turn him to the Dark Side and make him just look like a spoiled crybaby who was always a bad seed.

We don't need to know everything about them.
Qui-Gon should've at least come back as a force ghost or something, sure, I agree.
Jar Jar was great.

Never once has my opinion of a movie came down to its acting--ever. It doesn't matter.

C3PO was always pretty annoying, really, but in an endearing way.
That's just not true.
Anakin was portrayed very well.

have you watched the movie

i mean, it's pretty clear

so because anakin is a flawed character instead of a mary sue, he's bad

all right

Way to ignore everything I said and put words in my mouth.
 
No I don't want a Mary Sue, Anikin can have flaws, but the probem is that he was horribly portrayed. He had no redeeming qualiies at all in Attack on the Clones, he was a socially awkward asshole, and he constantly bitched about shit that didn't even happen, and the romance with Padme was completely forced and totaly awkward and those where his defining characteristics.

They were trying to go for someone who's personality was completely incomparable with the Jedi Code, and have the pressure of that lifestyle and the prophesy eating away at him, a great concept in on paper and they did give him some very workable personality traits that complemented this role and could have made for a verry likable and relatable character, but they failed completely.

He had no redeeming qualiies at all in Attack on the Clones

why does he need any

his redeeming quality is that he's entertaining to watch--it's fun in a tragic way to watch someone lose himself

he was a socially awkward asshole, and he constantly bitched about shit that didn't even happen, and the romance with Padme was completely forced and totaly awkward and those where his defining characteristics.

i can't think of a romance that was executed well
it's all awkward and unnecessary

well, it was necessary in this case, because luke and leia had to be born
so i don't know, i consider that a necessary evil

also, being a socially-awkward asshole character doesn't make him a bad character
he's still likable because we can relate to him

they didn't though
they pulled it off rather well, if you ask me

I don't hate the prequels because they don't live up to the OG trilogy (they don't btw), I hate them because they are just straight up mediocre movies. Bad writing, acting, story. They are straight up boring to watch. Attack of the Clones is a complete snore-fest.

and jar jar was great because you were laughing at him the whole movie
he's comic relief--that's his whole purpose, and he fulfilled that purpose reasonably well

he's the lovable idiot

But only after rewatching it
When you still took it seriously, each joke was painful
The gags were boring and cliche

He was only funny in the same way you watch bad movies to laugh

hayden christensen did a fine job
he's my favorite actor in the series, actually

he was interesting the whole way through

Dude
What was so interesting about him
