Star Wars Episode 1 review

[Nik]

I liked the movie. Fucktards need to stop bashing it. Good grief, it was ten fucking years ago. If you don't like it, get the fuck over it and move on.

Watched the whole thing. The part where he asked to describe a character from Ep 1 without describing their appearance, job, etc was spot on. God the prequels sucked.

 

[StevenYoo]

this is awesome

 

[palswim]

Oh man, how did I just finish the whole thing?

Where did he get all that footage? Impressive, most impressive.

It is impossible to like Phrantom Menace.
Did you watch the original trilogy.
Compare to originals, Part 1 is nothing more than a pile of shit.
A murder of a legend deserves special review such as this one.

I wasn't expecting much, but I'll probably watch them all at some point. The first one was total lolz

If you like his review of the Phantom Menace, then you should watch his Star Trek:TNG film reviews...

Star Trek: Generations Review - Part 1

Star Trek: First Contact Review (Part 1 of 4)

Star Trek Insurrection Review (Part 1 of 4)

Star Trek: Nemesis Review (part 1 of 4)

Pizza rolls for everyone!

Those reviews arent quite as good. But made me laugh anyway.

That (SW review) was pretty awesome. Managed to watch it all despite his voice. He had some great one liners in there too. Gets my vote for Webbie review of the year.

 

[TallBill]

Watched it yesterday, pretty fucking hilarious. Well worth the 70 minutes.

 

[Homerboy]

On part 5 right now.
Brilliant in every single way.

 

[SKORPI0]

Nice in depth review and exposing plot holes galore. :awe: Too bad it's 10 years too late.

Not really, most of the plot holes were placed on the internet 5 minutes after the first showing.
But this dude made it funny.

 

[shortylickens]

OK, I just got done listening to the commentary. George and others go into a LOT of detail and talk their balls off trying to describe all the stuff thats going on and we dont see. Including some stuff that was probably essential to explaining the plot.

DUDE! If you have to explain all this shit in a commentary then obviously you did a shitty job on the movie.

 

[TecHNooB]

On part 3 right now. This guy is so funny.

 

[Kalmah]

I just finished all of it. Well worth the watch.

 

[mmntech]

Episode 1's story and characters sucked big time. However, I will praise it for its filmography, which is arguably the best of the prequels. It seemed to look more gritty/realistic, in line with the original trilogy. I don't think they even used any actual sets or locations for Episode III. Just green screen and cardboard boxes.

 

[Firsttime]

I was gonna watch one, ended up watching all of them. Thanks for keeping me up till 2. Worth the watch. Excellent stuff.

 

[Dedpuhl]

WTF! Part 7 won't load/play.

 

[0roo0roo]

deserves a bump, esp at the 7 minute mark...

"describe the following star wars character without saying what they look like, what kind of costume they wore, or what their profession or role in the movie was."

you pretty much do draw blanks looking at the newer films characters...

I really liked the last one where they showed the blank and confused looks on the producer's and Lucas' faces after an internal screening and then they discuss the problems.

heh i'm only on part 6, but at the end they show a clip of lucas saying a special effects are just tools,.... a special without a story is a pretty boring thing... lol

 

[Sea Moose]

BEst review ever

 

[shortylickens]

Alright, I finally figured out exactly where he went wrong. Back when the first one came out I hypothesized George would try to recapture the magic from the first movie, specifically the chemistry between Leia and Luke. He did TRY to do that with Episodes 1,2 and 3, but he failed. And to cover it up he used assloads of CGI.
In order to recapture the magic in Episode 1 he should have done the following:
-Copy the original formula, particularly from Episode 4. It wouldnt have been original, but it would have worked. Put Padme in some awful, dire situation right at the beginning, and have Obi Wan rescue her, BY HIMSELF. Qui Gon is totally unnecessary in these movies.
-Bring teenaged Annakin in ASAP. If he's not in the postion to rescue anyone right off the bat (which would make sense) then he needs his own personal obstacle to overcome, ideally with Obi Wans help. But it should be relatively quick and straightforward and not waste half the fucking movie. This podracing bullshit was a huge waste of valuable time. Also, his obstacle should be brutal and ugly. So maybe instead of racing the aliens he should have watched his mother be horribly massacred and then got his revenge on the assailants right there on the spot. Then he moves on. Thats it. No long, drawn-out bullshit, just Obi Wan and the potential for awesomeness.
-Have him meet up with Padme in some awesome scenario, have them team up to overcome an even greater obstacle (making sure Annakin is actually REQUIRED to complete the goal), and let the romance happen naturally.

Thats it. Less bullshit, more story, and more things that are important instead of time wasters. This is a formula which pretty much ALL good movies follow. Why George forget this I do not know. Again, it doesnt have to be original if its just plain good.

heh, and the fearful looks on the workers.
