[kazukijun]

haha...the whole problem was there was no real protagonist!!!

 

[Wanderer]

This is absolute comedy GOLD. Thanx for sharing

 

[icruise]

Brilliant and a little disturbing (in more ways than one).

 

[Jmek]

Most hilarious review, but I'll take the Phantom Menace over simple minded bilge like Avatar any day.

 

[lordquigon]

I refuse to watch this, I LOVE The Phantom Menace!!!!!!!! It's been ten years, I think the hater's NEED to get over it!!! You don't like it, don't watch it!!!!

[Something Sexy]

I will check this out when I am home but I did enjoy this movie. There were obvious let downs but still a good movie overall.

 

[jkno]

He is right on so many points. Lucas could have done the Prequels to rival OT and he brought us Jar Jar, midichlorians and Hayden (later) instead

 

[the dude person]

This... is....















AWESOME!


It's all so true... Now I know why I ultimately hated this movie.... It all makes sense now!

This guy should do a "Clone Wars" review! (seriously, it would be awesome!)

I'm sure in 50 years, the heir to Lucas's throne will remake these prequel movies, hopefully improving them....

 

[DarthNeil]

Very funny... Good points wrapped in a cotton candy wrapping (dipped in blood).

Fun. And in a good way...

 

[DPrime]

Pretty funny, and sadly true.

Most hilarious review, but I'll take the Phantom Menace over simple minded bilge like Avatar any day.

I'll take a well crafted film like Avatar over a convoluted mess like the Phantom Menace any day.

--George Lucas

Um, problem is we HAD to see it in order to make that decision...

 

[YoNoSe]

Right or wrong this is my movie, this is my decision, and this is my creative vision, and if people don't like it, they can cry about it for a decade and pretend that I owed them something. Then maybe grow up and realize that they are bitter old tools and shouldn't take it so seriously. Yub yub, beeotches.

Insightful.

 

[Balsquat]

I can describe Amidala and Quigon quite easily.

Super funny, but no truth whatsoever.

 

[thenammagazine]

Um, problem is we HAD to see it in order to make that decision...

Then you should've called the police and had the man who put the gun to your head, forcing you into the movie seat for 2.5hrs, arrested.

 

[YoNoSe]

Then you should've called the police and had the man who put the gun to your head, forcing you into the movie seat for 2.5hrs, arrested.

Actually he's right. Uncle George said "if they don't like it, they don't have to see it." You can't know if you like it or not without seeing it. No firearms required.

So you can tell if a movie is good without seeing it?

 

[karamazov80]

No one can with 100% certainty. . .though you can have a pretty damn good idea.

I watched all of these "reviews" earlier, and got a real kick out of them. Bravo to the guy who made them. I agree on almost all parts. That movie was a pile of poo for many reasons.

But I will say, unlike the GI Joe movie, I actually sat through each of the Star Wars movies, so they've got that going for them.

 

[icruise]

Eh, if someone said that they refuse to see TPM because they could tell it was going to be bad, I'm sure most people would (rightfully) condemn them. The point is that Lucas' quote really doesn't make much sense. For the record I still like TPM even though I can't really argue with anything this guy says in his videos.

 

[thenammagazine]

So you can tell if a movie is good without seeing it?

So you couldn't tell that movies like Dungeons & Dragons, Dragonball, Street Fighter (take your pic between the two live action turds) or G.I. Joe were going to blow donkeys? If you didn't, you need thicker glasses.

Reading the reviews for TPM, I knew going in that Jar Jar would be a migrane and that little Anny had the acting ability of a toad (sadly better than his "grown up" version) and that it was lavishly overdone with digital effects (which people don't realize, for their time, were state-of-the-art, or unfairly compare them to modern effects). So knowing all that, I went in, watched it and actually, for the most part, enjoyed it. True some aspects were outlandishly silly, but no more so than Ewoks.
