WHY WASN'T THE REST OF THE PREQUEL TRILOGY LIKE THIS?

[DrTre]

I've never seen such utterly st acting. And I am including Keanu Reeves in Point Break in this.

Packed with cartoon-like CGI that makes everything look more unbelievable than it actually is?

It was wasn't it?

last hour of this one actually starts to feel a little like it has some relevance to the originals.

also, it features an AWESOME mullet.

Have to agree. Complete bks.
Lucas really needs to understand the phrase "less is more"

he had plenty of offers of help, rewriting and direction/producing. unfortunately he wouldn't listen which is why there's now an hour of trying to fit everything in to tie them together.

I think this one scene sums up everything that was wrong with the prequels

You can imagine the love letters Lucas sent to his wife

"I don't like sprouts, they're smelly and round.....but you're not smelly and round, you're not a sprout"

i know, i know. it's all fair comment.

i grew up with the originals, i wnet and saw star wars in 77 when i was 5. it was my first proper filum cinema memory.

makes me very sad he nutsed this up as much as he did.

[zetec]

Missed the first hour but thought great, ITV have been really plugging their new ITV1+1 channel, only they can't show the film because of 'legal reasons', whatever they may be!!

[y282]

just remembered, need to go lock the car up:

[DrTre]

That bit was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. Fantastic.

[MiniMan64]

Meh.

I like it.

[y282]

tempted to put ANH on now just to try and balance it out a bit.

[MadMullah]

when you watch the first one especially you think wow how st was this?!

anakin is annoyin as fk with his acting

quigon jinn has no purpose being in the trilogy.

the whole we're stuck on this planet and only this kid can help us - totally ridiculous!

ur the fkin jedi for god sake!!

making padme so much older than anakin - what a huge casting fk up

and dont even get me started on jar fkin jar fking binks

[y282]

i work with a guy who worked on phantom. has a few photos of him on set, he designed a battle droid, that kind of thing. every time a new year starts the rest of the staff tell all the students he invented jar jar binks.

ensures a year of st for him every time.

Watched it in HD for the first time, the problem with HD I find is that it makes the CGI bit look more fake than if you watched in SD in my opinion.

can do, yes.

tell you something else i noticed the other day, watching highlander on telly. composite shots using matte paintings on older films, i think the film must go off or something because you seem to be able to make out where the painting joins the set more clearly than you could when the film was younger.

[DrTre]

More fake!? I'm struggling to visualise that.

Apologies for such opinionated comments but the first 3 films are absolutely bloody awful..I really can't think of a single redeeming feature.

The story (which itself really isn't all that interesting) is told in such a plodding convoluted way any semblance of excitement is completely lost; the acting is like something from a school play (even from the good actors...shows what a bad script can do); the CGI is abysmal (scenes are structured similar to Casshern, human characters in the foreground/CGI in the back) and to cap it all the final five minutes have Darth Vader doing a Frankensteins monster routine culminating in the hammiest "Noooooooooooo!!" seen in recent years.

And Yoda? fk off, was that a deliberate pisstake of the way he speaks??

Anyway, yeah, other than that I quite liked them.

[y282]

DOOO NOT WAAAANT!!!
