maybe you didn't like the plot, but i bet you didn't know there was a special effects innovation developed for that film? a technique that became so common it became an industry standard for some time.suggs wrote:Saving Private Ryan.
Yeah, but at least George Lucas didn't have to COPY Star Wars!heavycola wrote:Phantom Menace.
For all the death star-sized expectations that were shattered. We can never forgive George Lucas for that.

2 and 3 were ridiculous. i kept expecting them to stop in the middle of a duel and say "You Got Served" and the other would say "Nuh uh, Bring it On!" because those were some pretty complicated BATON TWIRLING TECHNIQUES not a sword fight.
it was a parody of itself.
Empire had best sword fight.

You obviously know nothing about star wars. Since you know nothing on which you are talking about, your "fact" will become void.heavycola wrote:I CANNOT BELIEVE there is any debate to be had here.DaGip wrote:...and all the little Jedi children.william18 wrote:It was pretty good.

The case for the prosecution:
The most tedious 'plot' ever
Jar jar fucking binks
CGI Is Not a Substitute for Creativity, Characters, Plot, Suspense or Dialogue
The thousands of dejected star wars fans streaming wordlessly otut of cinemas after this pile of shit finally ended
The fact that bullfrog-necked george 'i can still direct' lucas still made money
That bullshit explanation about the force
non-jokes
princess whateverthafuck's wired-shut jaw and insane outfits
No Han, Luke or Leia. No Chewie, droids, vader, alec guinness
Ewan Macgregor sleepwalking his way through in obvious embarrassment at the terrible alec guinness impression he is forced to speak his rubbish RUBBISH lines with
For the defence:
A cool lightsaber fight
The pod race was OK i guess
Prosecution rests. Your witness, someone.

Sir, you have slapped me across the face with yoru leather gloves and I accept. I was watching star wars before you were born. The recent trilogy is a travesty. A TRAVESTY. To tack those hours of pointless, merit-free shite onto a trilogy that probably had more effect on me growing up than any other film or films I can think of, made me very angry and very sad. Anyone who thinks these films deserve a place in the star wars canon needs their head examined.william18 wrote:You obviously know nothing about star wars.

but i STILL watch star wars! Regularly! My love for the originals has grown, not diminished, as i have elderlied.suggs wrote:It was a film for kids Cola.
I imagine we are similar ages-no director could have taken us back to the magic of being 5 and seeing star wars for the first time.
I'd be interested to what five year olds thought about the Phantom Menace-my guess is, they loved it.
Plus, Palpatine ROCKED.
