Fuck you Jar Jar. Just had to get that out of the way.
When's that new feature, Worsties, coming out?
Attack Of The Clones is the worst one, i saw that one in cinemas and i haven't watched it since.
Thought the other two of the remake sequel got progressively worse, this being the only one I enjoyed at all. Yet again, I haven't seen it in a while so I may have been to young to understand why Jar Jar ruined it.
Darth Maul was one of the best parts, no question. But I always thought he wasn't very well-developed or interesting as a character, once you look past his complete bad assery.
Though that does play into his shadowy, sinister vibe. So I guess it fits.
Oh, Joey, your edits never cease to entertain. Excellent work, guys!
Calling it half good is quite an overstatement. Especially when a 2.5 hour movie is reduced to something like 90min in the fan edits. Maybe more like 1/3rd good?
Phantom Menace is bad, but I think the terribly acted melodrama of Attack of the Clones is much worse.
@el33tcapitan said:
This. Menace had many good parts to it, whereas Clones seemed more muddled and slapped together in hopes of setting up the final film rather than giving it's one singular experience.
@Lebensbaum: Always a good watch.
Am I the only one who didn't really mind the Star Wars Prequels?
Maybe because i'm a child of the 90's but the original trilogy never resonated with me... Where as I find myself re watching Episode 3 more than any of the other movies in the series.
and FYI Back To The Future Trilogy > Star Wars 1-6
RedLetterMedia ruined these movies for me.
Great Half-Good! I literally cannot watch Phantom Menace because of Jake Lloyd. Just can't do it. I choose to keep my Star Wars whistle wet with the original trilogy and both Clone Wars cartoons. The one on Cartoon Network now can be worse than Phantom Menace in terms of cheesy, kid-friendliness but occasionally it has some great episodes and action. The Clone Wars cartoon by Genndy Tartakovsky is awesome, but I'm a big fan of his so I might be biast. I think Attack of the Clones is as bad as Phantom Menace, but nothing about it makes it unwatchable. And Revenge of the Sith is just meh. Bad acting by Hayden Christensen but by that point I couldn't wait to see him get cut up and burned.
This actually is my favorite of the prequels and I find episode 2 to be the worst. As an important note, I was 8 years old when it came out.... But the whole Darth Maul battle with duel of fates playing, SO GOOD!
All the prequels suck, but Attack of the Clones is my least favorite.
You are right this movie is HALF good Jar Jar and Loyld are shit but the action and pod race still hold up
Now Episode 2 that is a steaming pile of shit screw the first 10 minutes and Hayden Christensen
I still dont get all the hate this gets , yes Jar Jar and Jake Lloyd arent great , but come on a "bad " star wars movie is still more than better than many films. Also I much prefer silly Jar Jar than gay C3PO any day , there interwebz I said it ... come at me !!!! >:3
Or perhaps I dont mind this smaller details as I like the story of how things got started for Palpatine , also Qui Gon is cool and heck Darth Maul the über coolest thing eva , which in my books pardons any "mistakes" the film might have.
As someone who has zero reverence for the original trilogy the new movies weren't that great or that awful beyond jar jar/I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!
I completely disagree, I would do a Defending Your Movie on this. It and the rest of the prequels are nowhere nears as bad as everyone says they are.
