Re-watched this and TPM last night. Honestly I don't get the hate, I liked it on release and still do now.
Completely serviceable action adventure movie

>New BattleFront game is prequel-heave
>everyone steadily waking up from the "prequels are bad" meme

How are you fags coping?

I still think it was the worst film of the bunch. ROTJ is still the best one, which isn't saying a lot considering Sheev was the only thing that stood out in the film.

>>81735510
All Star Wars movies are trash. at least II doesnt take itself so seriously

>>81735584
You are objectively wrong with your contrarian hipster meme opinion. Perhaps the biggest issue with the prequels is the fact that they mesh tons of drawn-out, boring, serious political scenes and horribly attempted dramatic character arcs with their stupid cartoon bullshit. New Hope and RoTJ are both more light-hearted and fun than Attack of the Clones.

Better than Force Awakens

>>81735424
It was a far, far better Star Wars movie than TFA.

I agree.
I watched them a again last month.
I USED to like III more.
But I realized how ignorant the Jedi council is.
In episode II, Obi-Wan goes all over the galaxy and gets work done.
Obi-Wan is the sole reason II is good.

>>81735526
Well, he did the best he could with what he was given.

>>81735932

I just mean he got some serious love from a group of people that were supposed to hate him is my point but even comments on various celebration videos are all throwing hayden love, which if you guys remember how much shit he used to get is..strange.

>>81735932
You're right, i don't think there's any actor, dead or alive, who could make the lines "I wish i could
just wish away my feelings" or "I don't sand, its coarse and rough" sound good.

that's only because ROTJ becomes impossible to take seriously at what is supposed to be the climax of the serious.

how am i supposed to give a shit about luke's ultimate confrontation when it's cut out every so often by a bunch of ridiculous looking teddy bears fighting storm troopers in armor?

>>81736008

>hayden speaks once at celebration, the audience freaks out

ROTJ felt like a step down after ESB but it's definitely better than AOTC.

>>81733341
It's treason, then

>>81735981
The understanding that he was a decent actor doing his best with bad writing and bad direction seems pretty common nowadays, and I'd agree with it. Lucas somehow managed to get the worst out of Portman, Neeson and Jackson too.

>>81733317

All Anakin-Padme scenes are boring, Jedi Temple scenes were stupid, Anakin's mom scene was comical, rest of Anakin on Tatooine was passable, Obi-Won scenes were okay, ending battle was fun. Plot was slightly more coherent but had much more shit that didn't make sense than Jedi, most scenes in Jedi were better than almost all scenes in Clones.

>I still have all the fullscreen ones

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion but am I the only one whose favourite of the prequels is Phantom Menace?

>>81733317
1. Star Wars (Lucas, 1977)
2. The Empire Strikes Back (Kershner, 1980)
3. Return of the Jedi (Marquand, 1983)
4. Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Edwards, 2016)
5. Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Abrams, 2015)
6. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (Lucas, 2005)
7. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (Lucas, 1999)
8. Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (Lucas, 2002)

Haven't seen:
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (Filoni, 2008)

>>81736265
I think it could be argued that TPM is the least awful prequel solely because it's the least serious.

>>81736265
All the prequels were garbage. But PM is probably the best of the three. Remove Jarjar and Anakin and its a solid movie.

I have no idea why fags like III, Anakin's reason for turning is retarded, all the dialog is meme tier, and the 90 minute duel is boring as fuck and has no soul with its CG backflips and Mario-style platforming.

>>81733317
It wasn't even better than the Garbage Pail Kids movie

>>81736770
>remove Anakin
But the Podrace is the best scene

>>81733317
If they would cut out every scene in which Anakin interacts with Padmé and turn the focus completely on Obi Wan and Jango Fett hunting each other, it would be one of the best films in the whole Saga, but because the other stuff is so shit, it's often worse than Phantom Menace. This is what happens if the director is too deep in his own Lore, no one gives a shit about the puberty of Anakin Skywalker and his first awkward teenage fuck.

>>81733317
> Most badass bounty hunter defeated by a blind man bumping into him
> Teddy bears with rocks defeat the Emperor's best troops
> Imperial flagship taken down by A Wings
> Imperial fleet gives up for no reason
> Most powerful Sith Lord killed by being picked up and dropped down a hole

Yeah being better than RoTJ isn't hard

>>81736265
I'd agree as well. It also has the best lightsabre battle of the PT, which felt at least slightly more grounded than the cartoon acrobatics of II and III.

With the time they realized that Lucas is the one who can't direct actors. If you watch every other movie with Christensen (not the recent one with Nicolas Cage of course), you see that he is an extremely good actor. The only guy who gave a good performance in the prequels was McGregor and that only because Lucas gave him funny dialogues and he played like a child in a fantasy land because McGregor is a big Star Wars Fan.

>>81733317

I like that you chose to ignore the actual argument in my post.

>>81735584
Back to r*ddit, friendo

Anybody else hate how in the battle against Dooku, Anakin and Obi-wan just get molested? I can understand Anakin getting bested in a duel at this point in his life, but I thought Obi-Wan had significantly more experience. I just thought he went down too easily.

>>81733317
*ROTS

>>81738110
I followed you here from there

Of all the ones you could pick this is the weirdest. The romance is awful and is such a huge part of the film. I don't mind Phantom or Sith, though I can clearly see they are flawed, and Force Awakens I found entertaining though I don't see myself rewatching it as much as other Star Wars films...

Attack of the clones though? The only one I genuinely struggle to sit though. The arena scene and onward is great fun but you have to get through so many boring, nonsensical scenes and bad acting to get there.

ROTS is pretty much the best one in the series. Perfect end to the saga. Lucas should've just taken the series to the grave.

Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars film BY FAR. Episode I at least had the hype going and good ending, Episode III had cool action, but this piece of worthless shit was just a total snoozefest all the way through with no redeeming values.

Fuck Episode II and anyone who enjoyed it.

>>81740714
The Obi-Wan detective plotline was neat.

>>81733317
Personally for me it goes like this

VI
III
IV
Rogue One
V
I
II
VII

II is only slightly better than VII, both are irredeemable garbage.

Another happy landing

People just cant seem to get with the times, they've constantly allowed themselves to be swayed by other peoples opinions by sad pathetic viewfeeding peddlers that unfortunately by their, once rare contrary opinion that people saw it as a change of pace from the norm, and people flocked to it to get it on the meme to feel included, to not be shunned, to feel apart of the group. the prequels are a masterpiece, from the Pod race to duel of the fates of phantom, to the the battle of geonosis of atotc, to the beginning shot with the battle drums at the battle of Coruscant, the execution of order sixty six, to the final battle of Obi-wan and Anakin in revenge of the sith.

what does the OT have?
only blowing up the deathstar, battle of hoth, and blowing up the second deathstar celebrated with space-bears (with added shots of other planets added AFTER in other editions, the prequels never had this problem) its good in of itself, it ends the story of the empire but it was drab and boring compared to the complexity of the prequels. OT was great for its time, but thats all it has going for it. The prequels blew it out of the water fair and square because theres alot of material that came from it.

>>81733317
Wow hold your rope there buddy, let's not go that far. Better than VII and Rogue One, absolutely, but not better than VI.

The OT editions are like Lucas smearing his graffiti over the Mona Lisa.

Some of the fan edits almost succeed in making the Prequels watchable. I liked the Blackened Mantle idea of using the Japanese dub as alien language to fix the script as far as possible.
