http://www.redlettermedia.com - Finally it's here! The truly epic review/critique/analysis/film making educational video of the 1999 film "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" There was so much to discuss with this film it had to be long so please don't complain. If you think it's too long then don't watch it. In this opening segment I discuss the major flaw of The Phantom Menace which is the characters and the lack of connection with the audience.

  • ...and Kevin Bacon.

  • @Shinta366 Also, I'd love to hear how you'd describe the Episode 1-3 characters under the terms RLM lays out. Honestly, I would. And I'd like to add something: don't cite what they were like in the tie-in novels or anything like that. This HAS to be about their personality in the films.

    And watch the whole review: he spends a full HOUR alternating between making jokes and painstaking analysis of every way in which these films are awful.

see all

  • @zachzilla26 Thanks for your opinion.

  • @zachzilla26 It's personal opinion up to a point. A lot depends on your opinion, yes, but if something gets bad enough, then it stops being your opinion that it is bad and starts being an objective FACT that it is bad. The characters might be defensible by someone, maybe, which is why I responded to this guy in the first place. But the acting? If you're talking about anyone in the prequels other than Palpatine's actor, the acting sucks. Objectively.

  • And now its being re-released in theaters in 3-D!

    Yippie.... I'm going to go shoot myself!

  • I'm proud to say I'm stupid

  • is zoidberg doing this critique?

  • I had to stop watching this half-way through and wait to get home, because I started watching it in a public library. I was laughing so hard (and loud) that people started giving me looks, and I knew I needed to get out of there.

    This. Is. Priceless.

  • @Talisguy I'm sorry, but how he interprets his elements are opinion. If you think the Acting is Wooden, then that's how you feel about the acting. If you think the Characters suck, then thats how you feel about the Characters. It all depends on how you see Characters and Acting.

    An Opinion is an Opinion. That's the Truth. 

  • @ojawall Finally! Someone who Agrees with Me!

  • Am i the only one who is satisfied with the prequels (Minus CL) just let them be, it's george lucas who created it not you, and who da fuck uses packet mashed patatoes
