LOL the Jedi in the prequel trilogy are pathetic. The ONE time they get their asses out of those seats after years of doing nothing in a circle, they ALL DIE from Storm trooper blasts...you know the blasts that C-3PO and R2-D2 walk through without getting a scratch in EVERY Star Wars film!
It should have had a twist at the end, Palpatine being just a front and cone head guy being the real sith who is also a shape shifter. Cone head guy being on the inside manipulating things throughout the movie in a subtle way.
Surely this guy is retarded does not know anything about star wars seeing he only cares about the main movies AND that this is based on today's society
I'm normally terrible at making dialogue in my Fanfictions, but you give me a month or so and I bet I could come up with better stories for the prequels than Lucas did
I think there have only been a few great blockbuster movies now in days. The only director that I think has made really good blockbusters in recent years is Christopher Nolan. That's probably it.
19:55, Anakin kneels before monster mash (emperor's horrible face) and pledges his loyalty to the graveyard smash (resurection of hot pants padme). Fucking priceless Plinkett you are damn hilarious.
Ok, George Lucas. You suck. Get off your chair and direct the friggen movie. You coulda made a wonderful action packed movie with fast pacing, good shot, but NOOO. You had to sit down and have two cameras film a conversation two ways on a small greenscreen. THAT WAS THE WHOLE MOVIE! Goddamn George. I think I lost all respect for you. 22:00 Onward proves.
I remeber in the cinema, that pissed me off so much, when the emperor mentions "there is only one that learnt the secret to cheat death" and I thought "Awesome! We will see/hear of the most all powerfull jedi/andor/sith ever!" and then its never mentioned again. WHO was it?!
the only reason you think the jedi are "dumb idiots" is because it's probably caused by fear. take for example: when luke says he's not afraid, yoda offers a training to him in ESB. in TPM, when anakin feels scared, yoda says "clouded this boy's future is"
Some reviewers go for humor but no insight. Some go for insight but no humor and as a result sound like uber-geeks. This guy has humor, insight, AND manages to do it sounding like Dr. Zoidberg from "Futurerama"...
@THX1449 Maybe when Lucas finally dies and his children take over the franchise they'll let other writers come in and remake the prequels. One can only hope.
@THX1449 Maybe when Lucas finally dies and his children take over the franchise they'll let other writers come in and remake the prequels. One can only hope.
True, but I think Plinkett's point is that the lack of emotion distances the characters from the audience and makes the scenes less engaging (i.e. boring). A character that is truly emotionless is near impossible to identify with, unless you spend several chapters (read: hours) of the medium exploring that character exclusively (i.e. Data, from Star Trek TNG).
true. but do you remeber what qui gon said before the podrace starts in ep.1. he gave anakin an advice to feel the force rather than thinking, and to use his own instincts.
BTW he's a JEDI, and jedi's are supposed to feel the force rather express emotions during a normal action scene
@tmMcHugh And there's your problem: that plot point SHOULDN'T have been written into the movie. The only real point it served was to add a dumbass Romeo & Juliet-style romance between Anakin and Padme. It's basically there to sacrifice logical screenwriting (which a movie like this NEEDS to be successful) for stupid, convoluted romance plot.
@superhuman295 I know that in season 1 and 2 its just for kids but after that, its beginning to have more links with the old movies and trust me, we will see the millenium falcon at season 5 of clone wars ;)
ps. you saw clone wars in 2D or the other star wars clone wars running now? there is a big difference ;)
Another terrible inconsistency in the plot has bothered me ever since the first time I watched Padme's "murder by pregnancy." Remember in Return of the Jedi when Luke asks Leia to describe her mother, Padme? She says she remembers Padme being "kind, very beautiful, yet sad." But if Padme died immediately after pushing out Leia, how the hell did she know all that. Knowing how your mom looked or felt is pretty hard to do TEN SECONDS AFTER YOU'RE BORN!!
@metalrulez4evr that can be explained easily by just thinking how obvious it was that Lucas never meant for there to be any 'prequels' at all, or if for some slight tiny chance he did plan the prequels before the original trilogy then he is even MORE STUPID THAN WE COULD'VE EVER IMAGINED!!!!! because he not only didn't even listen to his OWN WRITING in the original trilogy but he knowingly did the opposite of what we already knew and loved in the original movies, god Lucas WHY!!!
I feel I should point out that Lucas didn't write the original "trilogy", he wrote the first script of star wars (which was changed MANY times due to limitations) and he co-wrote the script for Return of the Jedi.
I love some of the stupid reasoning of the characters. When the guy says Palpatine has to be given emergency power to approve the use of a clone army, why couldn't the Senate just approve the use of a clone army as an emergency measure WITHOUT giving him special power?
Roughly the 22:00 minute mark onward destroyed virtually any respect I used to have for Lucas. Get off your fat ass and direct the friggin movie. Heaven forbid you actually use a physical set, or take the camera outside for a couple of shots. Also, the way he has the actors deliver lines is embarrassing, unprofessional and shameful. No emotion at all. As Plinkett points out later, you can tell George just wants to get the lines out of the way to get back to the action.
@EinsteinEMP826 What he uses blue screen cause it allows him to make the films the way he wants to, is that so weird, in locations it is nearly impossible to get things right. Also he believes he doesn`t have to cause he likes CGI, also the making of the original film caused him heart problems and a devorce, did you ever work so hard you got heartproblems and had a divorce, do you work in unbearabe circumstances for years?? Did you make 3 of the best films ever???
@reviewreviewer1 Maybe if Lucas' life was so hard he should have let someone else direct the damn movies. Nobody cares what his life is like. We want good movies and he failed horribly.
@reviewreviewer1 But it DOES look bad. Want to see good CGI? Watch LOTR, the new Star Trek, District 9, etc. These are all examples of near flawless CGI integration into actual locations.
@SirSwass The Coruscant evirements were detailed and rough and 3 dimensional, and looked like in Blade Runner, the arena looked as in Gladiator, the stormtroopers look like they did in the OT, compare thw shots, LOTR had way more shiner monsters, also what are the odds of that when ILM is the largest and earliest effects company??
@reviewreviewer1 Okay, now I know you're delusional. The prequels look like video games and the other films mentioned look dirty and natural. You're clearly a Lucas apologist no matter what.
@SirSwass Uh did you see Redlettermedias comparisons of coruscant to Blade Runner, and Geonosis to Gladiator?? The Felbeats in LOTR shine, and are you honestly telling me ILM under the effects inovator Lucas would do a bad job and much smaller companies good ones, also we got adhominem very classy, you are just a basher cause you can compare the clones to the stormtroopers and see no difference.
@SirSwass Also the sets in Episode III have dirt al over the place, II and I are a peacefull sci fi universe, sci fi has futuristic sets, and they are clean, how the in a film like Spacratcus are clean.
@EinsteinEMP826 I don't think it's just that, I think a lot of the script problems can be traced back to this as well. It's like Lucas thought up the action sequences, spent a long time detailing exactly what he wanted from them ("and then the clones are gonna fight the robots, and the wookies, and it's gonna be SO AWESOME!! :D"), but he thought up the story and characters just so that the film could get from one action sequence to the next. -_-
uhmmm... galactic republic lasted a thousand years. it's all they talk about in the prequels... boring as shit.
But then Obi wan talks about the Jedi Order protecting people for a thousand generations. which is true maybe? I bet jedi are older than an intergalactic senate.
It would have made sense if these movies bombed at the box office. These movies should not have made nearly as much money. George Lucas is probably rich for making these movies like Michael Bay does for making his movies. Battlefield Earth bombed at the box office so I can tell everyone dislikes it. Some movies are popular. Some movies deserve a lot more money at the box office. Some lower budget movies deserve a lot more money at the box office. How did Transformers 2 get a sequel?
@Mynameis708 because of how good the original trilogy is. Everybody was hoping so badly that these would be good, myself included. Plus Lucas had a bazillion dollars from the previous trilogy and merchandizing, so he could make as many as he liked. And the funny thing about these movies is that there's no one specific thing that makes them bad. It's only when guys like Plinkett carefully dissect them that the flaws come out. They initially come off as half decent movies to most, me included.
@EinsteinEMP826 I agree with you...except on Episode 1. That was pure crap. The second was a bit boring, but I liked Episode III. I thought of it was a worthy installment...but then again I was never the largest Star Wars fan so I wasn't so attatched to the original prequel.
@Mynameis708 Sorry, but he's planning to do the series in 3-D! Just imagine what he'll change this time around, all while saying "Technology is now able to show my vision for Star Wars."
@reszzz It was stated from the sequels. You cant just go around changing that. Lucas fucked up the prequels, that does not mean you can go ignore the sequels.
@DLPBurke I never said it should have been that way. It was just a thought that could have added some intelligence to the character that was seriously lacking. It could have happened gradually that and would have contributed to his seduction by the dark side. You can't ignore the prequels either and loathe how his fall to the dark side was a joke. I'm sure a lot of people have had thoughts of how they could have been better. I was just expressing mine.
It is startling how comparisons can be drawn between force feeding us plot in star wars prequels, and our government force feeding us information in the real world. Is our entire society run by BAD WRITERS??!!? OH god.
30:39 I can tell many people like the Star Wars prequels as those films grossed so much money in the box office. This film beat Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Spider-man 2 at the box office.
@Mynameis708 Look Box Office gross has nothing to do with how people actually feel about the movie. The Twilight series has grossed highly at the box office, but is that totally because EVERYBODY that paid to see it loves it? NOPE. I can assure you how many of those unfortunate people that paid for it were upset husbands and boyfriends forced to take their wives and girlfriends to see thost shitty movies. A movie can gross high money, but that doesn't mean everybody that pays for it likes it
@Mynameis708 Also The Phatom Menace as it stands is the highest grossing Star Wars movie of all time. HOWEVER, does that mean the people that paid to see it love it? NOPE. It's generally regarded as the absolute worst Star Wars movie and one of the worst movies of all time. People paid to see it because they had HIGH anticipation and hopes for the movie, but just as soon as they paid for their seats those hopes and anticipations were cut in half faster than Darth Maul lost his bottom half
@TheInstantClassic1 The last two Star Wars should have bombed at the box office. I guarantee you that most people probably liked it because of how high the box office were. The movie made a lot more money than the budget did. The movie did not bomb at the box office. If too many people did not like it, the movie would have bombed at the box office. These movies are popular, some people just do not like these movies. They made a lot of money. These movies should have bombed at the box office.
how do they travel to planets really quicky if they can only go at lightspeed? wouldn't it take like a few years (or at least months) to get to another solar system?
@MrHEC381991 It was a technique to make the image shake. Unlike Lucas, Abrams knows the value of non-cg effects, especially when they are simple and cheap, to achieve the look he wants.
You might also have mentioned the fact that you can't actually be alive that close to lava. You'd suffocate from the toxic fumes in about a minute if the radiative heat didn't melt your skin in about ten seconds.
"What-whatever doesn't require me to have to get off my chair, or have to move all this shit. Don't worry about the audience, as long as you're comfortable, while you're directing the film that's all that matters. Just have them talking in front of the green screen and use two cameras to shoot reverse angles, and then have them say the lines and just get the scene over with. ... 'Cause then if you don't gotta get up, it makes it easier."

But then Obi wan talks about the Jedi Order protecting people for a thousand generations. which is true maybe? I bet jedi are older than an intergalactic senate.

@mattwylder actually obi-wan says the jedi were guardians of the republic for a thousand generations.

It would have made sense if these movies bombed at the box office. These movies should not have made nearly as much money. George Lucas is probably rich for making these movies like Michael Bay does for making his movies. Battlefield Earth bombed at the box office so I can tell everyone dislikes it. Some movies are popular. Some movies deserve a lot more money at the box office. Some lower budget movies deserve a lot more money at the box office. How did Transformers 2 get a sequel?

@Mynameis708 because of how good the original trilogy is. Everybody was hoping so badly that these would be good, myself included. Plus Lucas had a bazillion dollars from the previous trilogy and merchandizing, so he could make as many as he liked. And the funny thing about these movies is that there's no one specific thing that makes them bad. It's only when guys like Plinkett carefully dissect them that the flaws come out. They initially come off as half decent movies to most, me included.

@EinsteinEMP826 I agree with you...except on Episode 1. That was pure crap. The second was a bit boring, but I liked Episode III. I thought of it was a worthy installment...but then again I was never the largest Star Wars fan so I wasn't so attatched to the original prequel.

@reszzz It was stated from the sequels. You cant just go around changing that. Lucas fucked up the prequels, that does not mean you can go ignore the sequels.
DLPBurke 4 months ago
@DLPBurke I never said it should have been that way. It was just a thought that could have added some intelligence to the character that was seriously lacking. It could have happened gradually that and would have contributed to his seduction by the dark side. You can't ignore the prequels either and loathe how his fall to the dark side was a joke. I'm sure a lot of people have had thoughts of how they could have been better. I was just expressing mine.

30:39 I can tell many people like the Star Wars prequels as those films grossed so much money in the box office. This film beat Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and Spider-man 2 at the box office.

@Mynameis708 Those films are both far better than Star Wars Episode III. This is my opinion.

Mynameis708 4 months ago
@Mynameis708 Look Box Office gross has nothing to do with how people actually feel about the movie. The Twilight series has grossed highly at the box office, but is that totally because EVERYBODY that paid to see it loves it? NOPE. I can assure you how many of those unfortunate people that paid for it were upset husbands and boyfriends forced to take their wives and girlfriends to see thost shitty movies. A movie can gross high money, but that doesn't mean everybody that pays for it likes it
TheInstantClassic1 4 months ago
@Mynameis708 Also The Phatom Menace as it stands is the highest grossing Star Wars movie of all time. HOWEVER, does that mean the people that paid to see it love it? NOPE. It's generally regarded as the absolute worst Star Wars movie and one of the worst movies of all time. People paid to see it because they had HIGH anticipation and hopes for the movie, but just as soon as they paid for their seats those hopes and anticipations were cut in half faster than Darth Maul lost his bottom half

@TheInstantClassic1 The last two Star Wars should have bombed at the box office. I guarantee you that most people probably liked it because of how high the box office were. The movie made a lot more money than the budget did. The movie did not bomb at the box office. If too many people did not like it, the movie would have bombed at the box office. These movies are popular, some people just do not like these movies. They made a lot of money. These movies should have bombed at the box office.

MrHEC381991 5 months ago
@MrHEC381991 It was a technique to make the image shake. Unlike Lucas, Abrams knows the value of non-cg effects, especially when they are simple and cheap, to achieve the look he wants.

You might also have mentioned the fact that you can't actually be alive that close to lava. You'd suffocate from the toxic fumes in about a minute if the radiative heat didn't melt your skin in about ten seconds.

"What-whatever doesn't require me to have to get off my chair, or have to move all this shit. Don't worry about the audience, as long as you're comfortable, while you're directing the film that's all that matters. Just have them talking in front of the green screen and use two cameras to shoot reverse angles, and then have them say the lines and just get the scene over with. ... 'Cause then if you don't gotta get up, it makes it easier."
