  • THINK ABOUT THIS, why did they fly directly towards the blockade, just go FUCKING UNDERNEATH or OVER IT, NOT DIRECTLY TOWARDS IT, look! they almost crashed into it!

  • 3:43-4:06 Well, it conveniently explains why there were no battle droids in Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi.

  • This is so fun I wish I could talk with him.

  • TBF Obi-Wan was just saying shit so he and D'jinn could get to the capital on time. Doesn't excuse going to Gunganland in the first place tho

  • Complete synopsis of Episode 1: blah blah blah, trade federation, blah blah, kiddie shit, blah blah blah, Galactic Senate, blah blah, more kiddie shit, fight scene, the end.

  • Wait, they go through the planet core? How did they not burn into a crisp? Or...liquidize, or something. That would be worth watching.

  • @bdtiger880 it's not explained in the movie, but Naboo is a special planet in which it has a hollow, watery core instead of a molten metal core

  • @demonhunter5520 I really hate these "not explained in the movie" tidbits of information that George could not be bothered to tell us. We should not have to read a book or a comic, or play some game, to understand what's going on in the movie. Besides that, planets can't have a watery core. I guess George was the slow learner in his science class.

  • qween amanalin rofl

  • I beg to differ Mr. Plinkett! The audience WAS on the edge of their seats. They were debating whether to leave the theater and get a refund or hope for a bad movie to get good.

  • @June28July

    I was on the edge of my seat too!... Leaning forward to vomit in pure rage at the abomination I was watching.

  • 8:15

    the main characters of TPM is Qui Gon Jin

  • Somebody should do a video review like this for Dragon Age II.

  • bwi i am really on the edge of my seat. XD

  • haha... biggest pussy enemy ever... Those dam one hit die droids... man this movie sucks.. I don't even associate this with Star Wars for real... I"m such a huge fan of the old ones I just won't let this ruin it.... I just won't ever watch these one again...

  • @funkyflights George even admits that the battle droids are "pretty useless." Why would he put characters in his movie that are useless? They should all serve a purpose. The battle droids should not have been comedy relief characters, but fearsome death-bots that could overwhelm an enemy by sheer numbers, like army ants devouring an animal. Instead we get these dopey machines that a child could knock down.

  • @ElveeKaye

    I know man... Those droids are just ridiculously stupid... It's almost like a comedy act how easy they get destroyed... Like this reviewer said it's like the whole movie was directed by and 8 year old kid.... for real... The plot is so bad it's almost like you can't believe what your watching .... I don't even relate these movies to Star Wars...

  • "Commander...process them." Into what, sandwich meats?

  • @ElveeKaye

    lol.. yeah really....

  • wait isnt that the point of the droids to make them more human in star wars

  • Ginny.

    Kills me every time.

  • Qui Gon Booze!!! LOL

  • Wait, how does the guy know what a duck is?

  • lol too funny

  • I heard some of this had to do with bush/war on terror undeclared war/power grab etc. not that obama is any different

  • This guy is hilarious! R2-D2 fixing this ship gave them the confidence to escape LOL! Thank the ship, it did more!

  • This is what I HATE about fellow Star Wars fans. Let people have their own opinions about these films. Stop abusing people just because they like the Star Wars prequels! People are gonna like exactly what they want to like so deal with it and take your trolling somewhere else. Jheez!

  • @arsenalrulez1000 "Abusing" people? That's a little melodramatic, isn't it? Nobody's forcing you to watch it. The guy's just stating his opinion, and a lot of what he says makes sense. A lot of what he says is also meant in jest, which is pretty much the smartest thing to do when making a video like this because if you don't inject some humor into a review that's going to last over an hour once it's all said and done, then nobody's really going to want to sit through it.

  • Doctor Zoidberg!

  • Coriskit?

    CUT!!!

    I can see the Oscars pouring in as we speak

  • What he should have asked was: are you implying there are ducks in the star wars universe?

  • queen aminaln

  • What's wrong with your face?!

  • Your 'female' voice is the stuff of nightmares.

    And also, "These battle droids have proven very effective against Jedi knights. Oh... Wait... Nooo."

  • @patdougland That's heresy, friend.

  • The prequel were all cheesy, poorly written, acting was blah, and too many plot holes. I honestly didn't know what was really going until I had to watch it a few times to understand. I don't hate George Lucas or anything but I think he is a bad director and will continue to do so until he directs another movie that will change my mind because so far he is still a bad director in my book.

  • @TheFadeForever completely useless opinion comment ,that noone cares anything about because the opinion is just what everyone else on the internet says, is useless

  • @overthehedge182 I can say whatever I want its only a opinion I could care less about what everyone else said or think. You replying to me about my opinion was pretty much useless anyways

  • I wonder... Did George Lucas actually do ANYTHING in the original trilogy or was he the guy on the back of the Richard Bachman books except the author dies and he decides to write it himself... I just realized how stupid and paranoid that sounded

  • "When immmm the queen, im going to have you die in a horrible explosion! Hehehehehehe."

  • People, you can find all the new and old shows and rewievs from Redlettermedia. com. Sounds like a commercial but i found all kinds of entertainment for days.. >_<

  • Never realized Star Wars Episode I was this Stupid!

  • @Maloperverso Don't trust this review. The best way to make up your mind is to watch it again and pay attention to what actually happens. This review is very conveniently slanted.

  • @Agahnim18

    Fuck you, this movie was shit. Most people thought the movie was garbage, boring, and poorly developed LONGGGGGGGG before this review ever existed. Lucas is a hack, live with it.

  • @Jaiyeson Your arguments are flawless.

  • @Agahnim18 Watched the movie, it still sucks. Everything in this review is 100% spot on, unlike the movies which are poorly written and poorly acted, by they manage to fool the people using shiny special effects.

  • Your reviews are HILARIOUS! I'm seriously laughing the whole time.. Lucas needs to hire you when he scripts the stories for the last Trilogy, if there'll be one. You'd actually bring sense back to it all!

  • He mispronounces "Coruscant", the big city in the movie.

  • 9:53 - What does Anakin say?

  • qui-gon-booze xD

  • When I'm the Queen I'm gonna have you go clean toilets! HEHEHEHEHHEHEHEHHEHHEE

  • no 8 im going to slit my wrists

  • Why wouldn't he drink Gin at 11:30 in the morning... If I were Liam Neeson forced to portray him I would be drunk all the time!

  • Why did I see the prequels??

  • your so right

  • brilliant

    

  • I thought this movie was bad when I saw it in theaters... I was 5 then.

    sequels ftw

  • When some fanboys watch the original films, they pop on their rose-colored/nostalgia/peer-co­nditioned goggles and derp out. When they watch the prequels, they pop on their shit goggles and turd earmuffs and take their annoyance out on movies they don't understand and have never attempted to understand. :)

  • Seriously these movies were so bad!

  • The parts with the kids watching it on TV cracks me up every time.

  • This is nothing short of genius.

  • to be honest i loved the star wars movies when i was 10, now when im 15 years old i agree.

  • The hate is strong in you!

  • 4:24 lol ginny

  • Why is there a video about condoms in the recommended column? ANSWER ME YOUTUBE!

  • A number of good points, but in an earlier video, you complained how Kenobi and Jinn were just sitting doing nothing and made the film boring. Then, at 8:15, you comment how the slow build-up in the original Star Wars was genius and excellent. You seem to be contradicting yourself.

  • @athleteization The big difference being that the original Star Wars was actually building up to something and the payoff was fantastic.

  • @athleteization Um, no. A slow build up that produces character and plot development is not the same as characters with no personalities sitting around, doing nothing, never developing character, while the plot fails to "build up" at all, but meanders on to nothing. That's why it's called a build up, you see. It has to build up to something, and along the way, you as the viewer get to watch the process that leads up to the satisfying climax of the story. That's what makes it a story.

  • @mdyer503 preach it, brotha

  • @athleteization Right, but the original Star Wars was actually DOING SOMETHING with the slow build up that focused on one main character. Jinn and Kenobi were literally DOING NOTHING. That's the difference.

  • @h445 How were they doing nothing? They were saving queens/planets, finding chosen ones, and luring out Sith lords, man! :P

  • @Agahnim18 Because the character's weren't invested in any of those things you just listed. They didn't go to Naboo to save the queen, they went to Naboo to settle a freaking Trade Dispute. They didn't find the chosen one, they just sort of ran into him while shopping for ship parts. They didn't lure out a Sith Lord, they ran into him after a giant door opens up and he just happens to be behind it. Tension is not built by having your protagonists wander into plot points.

  • So you're saying the story doesn't make sense? I see...

  • Thank you for saving the ship little R2-D2...come by my personal quarters later, and bring your erm, special attachment.

  • 3:55

    "There are too many of them!"

    "It won't be a problem."

    LMAO. Wow, could you at least act worried?

  • @June28July Haha, I know. Quai Jon is like "Eh, fuck it. We got it covered." Wow, the suspense is killing me.

  • @June28July He's drunk, remember?

  • Oh my god dude ur awesome!!! i watched this movie wen it first came out when i was like 13 and thought i was retarded because i didnt understand the plot

  • @timbrander11 haha me too! i though it was like this multilayered complex story. it was really just stupid.

  • One thing the reviewer missed: Isn't it kinda weird that someone in a galaxy far, far away knows what a duck is? Or the phrase "sitting ducks"? Do they have ducks on Naboo?

  • @hitchhiker87

    Ah, you beat me to it. I was just about to mention that. 

  • @hitchhiker87

    In the same way it's "kinda weird" that someone in a galaxy far, far away speaks English at all.

    If you prefer you could re-dub the entire film in garbled alien-speak with subtitles.

  • @DanOFitzpatrick Not really. Plus, the film does have many of the characters use garbled alien speak with subtitles.

  • @hitchhiker87 haha they do apparantly... 2:40 :P

  • @hitchhiker87 bear in mind that there are snakes and lizards on Dagobah. not to mention that a couple of ducks are seen flying out of the water when the bongo emerges in Theed. so the phrase "sitting ducks" doesn't seem that strange.

  • speaking of planet core i think it fair to ad, how is there no flaming heat in the core? thats a fysical thing needed for a planet to have growing things right? they could at least explain something about this...

  • Sounds just like Buffaloe Bill

  • the first sentence of this review sounds like zoidberg

  • 4:02 "Fuck You." Fantastic. You should have directed these travesties.

  • How can the trade federation army be battle-hardened? Aren´t droids programmed!?

  • Comment removed

  • Do the reccomended videos have anything to do with you kidnapping hookers?

  • Your reviews are brilliant, but there's one thing which I think you missed here: when Obi-Wan says the droids will take control of these underwater creatures after taking control of the surface, he's probably just inventing nonsense to get them on his side

  • @classicalmusic1337 That doesn't seem like a very Jedi thing to do. The prequel Jedi seem to use this "ends justify the means" philosophy all throughout the movies, but Old Obi Wan from A nEw Hope only uses his Jedi mind trick once, and that's to save himself and Luke from certain death at the hands of villains. In the sequels, the only times that the Jedi ever use their powers to gain leverage over other people is when they're up against villains.

  • Am I the only one who noticed Nute Gunray's line at 3:33 is perhaps the dumbest one out of him yet.

  • @SyrJirk That's quite an accolade. 

  • In the original film stormtroopers had the same issues as the battle droids. Their armor seemed to do nothing against lasers and lightsabers, making it pointless. And how the fuck do you blockage an entire planet in space? There's 4 fucking dimensions in space... a pilot can just plot a course around it unless there are millions of ships surrounding the planet in a complete sphere.

  • @SoftwareTheft Re: Stormtroopers - yeah, but we didn't see Luke massacre 10,000 of them in the course of the movie. At least they were somewhat effective as the antagonist's soldiers being used against the heroes. Look at the ROTS review when RLM compare the drama in Cloud City as stormtroopers chase Leia and co. - there's much more tension there than several droids (uselessly) attacking Obi-wan and Anakin on Grievous' command ship.

  • @SAMagic In hindsight, stormtroopers were useless. However, the characters still actually showed some fear of the stormstroopers throughout the movies. I think that's the main difference between the stormtroopers and droids - could you imagine if a New Hope went like this?:

    Leia: We need to get off this death star!

    Han: Look at all those stormtroopers between us and the Falcon!

    Luke: It's no problem

    (heavily choreographed swordfight, all the enemies are dead.

    Luke: Let's go!

  • @SoftwareTheft Also, I imagine there's some lore fluff that stomrtrooper armour is effective against light attacks. Maybe some laser blasts don't outright kill them if they're wearing armour.

  • Wow, you really thought the craptacticness of it all through! Watching this space abortion once was one too many times for me. You've found layers of stupid I was groaning too hard to see.

  • @videowilliams You were too busy groaning about it not being IV, V, or VI that you failed to understand the movie. :P

    Don't take this "review" seriously--the man makes stuff up and ignores a bunch of stuff that actually happened in order to suit his fancy.

  • Disruption of communications can mean only one thing...invasion.

    It can also mean you didn't pay your phone bill.

    It's true.

  • Number 8: I'm Gonna Slit My Wrists. This guy is hilarious LOL

  • YAY!!! he's back from driving skewl cus he ran over an entire korean family wit his car/deth machine/PlinkettMobile/PUV (Plinkett utility Vehicle) slash his DAHM. Thats what car Plinkett drives is a DAHM, known to the rest of us as the Dead Ass Hooker Mobile :) known as the DAHM xD

  • @de4th1snt3nough driving skewl... "Go", right? :D

  • @ninjatrixx :LMAO i seen an asian cross 16 lanes of highway traffic and not even look both ways!

  • How does the shield generator get hit while the shields are up?

    Shouldn't they...ah fuck it

  • @SelfDestruct721 Why don't they have a shield for the shield generator?? why doesn't natalie portman take off her clothes ='( why!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *kills myself* why is there links to fake porn all over the side bar to a review of a starwars film? can we really call the 'episodes' starwars? thats like calling obama our president like he's done something, or done something in the least little tiny bit constructive

  • i love how steven spielberg is hanging around the set, no doubt deeply shocked at the hilarious bullshit going on. around the time this was being filmed, spielberg would have been gearing up for the masterpiece "saving private ryan". the incredible difference in talent is staggering - these two dudes are best friends, why wouldn't some of spielberg's genius wipe off? even a tiny bit??

  • Pure genis. Never get sick of it

  • Pure gge

  • "The two most effective, clear minded, logical guys stay on the ship and wait while the clumsy idiot, the slow moving droid a vulnurable attractive young women and a drunk go wandering around the dangerous city.

    Theese two guys probably would have had the part by now."

    I love that.

    That's my favourite Plinkett line ever.

  • George Lucass watched this 119 times.

  • The Republic Era is drastically different in beliefs to the Empire Era. In the Republic Era, people can be emphatic to droids. In the Empire Era everything is a tool.

  • @cruherrx LOL what

  • @orion584 Ever been to wookieepedia?

  • @cruherrx shut the fuck up

  • @snowskateskate y u so buttmad brah?

  • 9:43: and a DRUNK go wandering through the dangerous city

  • and then ginny looks around with no thought of subterfuge

  • 4:02

    EPIC FUCK YOU!!!

  • Comment removed

  • George: "Jedi cut 'em down like they're butter, they really are pretty useless"

    Plinkett: "Fuck YOU!!!!"

    LMFAO!!

  • 4: 56 "Hey slow down asshole" HAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHA! I love these series! Fuck it, i'm gonna watch all parts.

  • How in the hell does a 14-year-old get elected queen of an entire planet? And how in the hell does a 14-year-old with no military experience AT ALL get to act as commander in a war?

  • @NyxSeiren Further proof that adults are idiots in cinema

  • George Lucas should be forced to watch these reviews over and over and over and over again like A Clockwork Orange

  • @argebarse LOL i get it, theyre WRONG, theyre all WRONG I GET IT!!

  • What's with the recommended videos?

  • @artman40 I was about to write that exact comment.

  • @artman40 everyone likes boobs, I guess.

  • I love the shots of Lucas "working." The are so revealing.

    I always thought it was completely fucked how the fake queen orders the real queen to be the one to clean the droid.

  • Was Queen Amidala going to prepare a funeral for the two droids that was blasted? Then again this is a film for babies

  • anyone recognize the actress playing the fake amidala? keira knightley :)

  • 4:41 - “Hey, wait. Just like knowing what kind of deadly gas it is before you smell it, how does the shield generator get hit while the shields are up? Shouldn’t they … ah, f*ck it.”

    When Plinkett said this, I finally understood why I could not get into this movie.

  • The droids land on the other side of the planet with the Jedi. The Jedi take the speediest route to the city, through the planet-core, and arrive AFTER the droid army ... LOLGEOGRAPHY

  • Comment removed

  • "Artoo wanders around and does nothing." Priceless.

  • The invasion was boring indeed. When Lando in Empire Strikes Back warns the people in the Cloud City that the empire was taking over... everyone went crazy...grabbing what they can to get out of there. The people of Naboo acted like they were on a sedative.

  • Man! I STILL don't understand the conflict! Why are they moving Queen A? What started all of this? Why did they attack the Jedi? What the fuck is going on?!

  • @QuatermassMan it's all pretty clearly explained in the movie, especially in the opening crawl. this guy is making it more complicated than it actually is. all you have to is watch the movie and actually use your brain just a little bit instead of having the movie spell every single detail out like Plinkett wants it to

  • Qui-gon and the rest of the ship have an infinite amount of directions in which to leave the planet, and yet head straight for the blockade, that bugs me the most!

  • cut lets try it again gets me every time LOL

  • And another thing, about the sitting ducks, it's also always perplexed me on the strength of a lazer blast in Star Wars. A lazer rifle blows stormtroopers away like paper (even though they were some sort of space armor...)

    but a giant shot from a lazer cannon on a spaceship hardly ever seems to have an effect. From this space scene, to the opening of Episode 4, to... well, any space battle in this saga.

  • that planet core thing has bothered me since I was 3.

    Even then I was puzzled by what the hell possible way water would be at the center of their planet.

  • @SHiTJuFro743 I totally share you disgust with the "planet core" bollocks. It violates glorious physics to have liquid water at the center of any planet because of things like pressure, gravity, planet formation via accretion, etc. Plus you cannot have oceans of liqiud water beneath enitre rocky crust, since rock is denser than water and sinks in water. This Naboo "planet core" nonsense is eerily similar to a fable by my favorite creationist zombie, NephilimFree.

  • @OrionIISagan190 I would guess that because these Gungans are weird like that, I would assume it was just a cultural belief that you can swim through the planet core. Sort've like how Everyone assumed the world was flat for a while. But then I decided there is no point in reasoning with this garbage.

  • @SHiTJuFro743 There is also no point in trying to reason with NephilimFree, since he instantly blocks anyone who gives him a reality check. I would do pwnage of both the asinine "planet core" insanity and pwnage of creationism alike. Whoever imagined this "planet core" bullshit for the TPM movie needs to be called out for his or her idiocy. I agree with you that the Gungans belief in traveling through the planet core is like when humans once thought that Earth was flat.

  • @OrionIISagan190 you really don't like that Nepilim guy, do you? What's that cat all about?

  • love these reviews, but am i on porntube or something, the fuck ? >>>

  • @KenFan4life Oh good it's not just me. I thought youtube had some sort of standards what's with all the titty cleavage?

  • @KenFan4life LOL! Just realised.. What the heck!

  • @KenFan4life yeah seriously, wtf is with the suggestions, it's like we're at the door to 'that' part of YouTube.

  • "..and they' really are pretty useless"

    :Fuck you!" LOL!!!!

  • Nobody thanked the ship rooflez

  • I agree with the vast majority of the review, but to be fair, the stormtroopers from the OT weren't incredibly effective either... in almost any situation.

  • 2:40 "And like idiots the surface..." ROFLMAO

  • You motherfucker! I almost died from laughing while drinking beer and then laughing while coughing and then almost inhaling beery phlegm!! You're a goddamn menace! "MmmmMmmm... this was made fer babies..." I can't take it. You magnificent bastard. Thank you.

  • heres another thing about the blockade. why did they fly throu the Blockade when they could easy fly around the hole thing? you see a blockade only works if all the rouds away form the location is blocked.

    but blocking a hole planet is like really hard! how would the Federation Blockade stop anything when ships can just fly a bit upp or down or any direction whats so ever?

  • @void735 aaaaand you could say the exact same thing for Empire Strikes Back when the rebel transport ships try to get past the imperial fleet. is thereis no logical reason why the transport ships should've gone directly towards the imperial fleet, but they didn't. they could've easily gone in some other direction, but they didn't.

  • @hwkeye14 They had an ion cannon to disable the Imperial ships. Which they did. Maybe it would've been better to come out in another direction, but it's obvious they had a plan for dealing with the Empire. Don't even compare Empire and Menace.

  • @ledawg1138 that still doesn't excuse the fact that the rebels were too stupid to even consider just going in a different direction. yeah the ion cannon worked, but they didn't even know it would work until they actually used it - they got lucky. just like the naboo cruiser did in Menace. and you're right - Empire is a much better movie. but both movies have some pretty big flaws and characters who constantly do stupid things. i compare Empire to Menace all the time - it's pretty easy.

  • 4:06 ROFL

  • I hope George Lucas watches this one day and then hangs himself with Jar-Jar's tongue.

  • "The Jedi cut em down like their butter, their pretty much useless" "Fuck you" I literally laughed out loud.

  • Wait a moment. Padme was the Queen? No wonder I was so confused in Episode II.

  • dude.. i get you.. this movie SUCK

  • the r2d2 bit w/ the queen was obviously just to satisfy fans who are obsessed with the droid.
