It was still shit. Anyway I'm not interested in how one was worse than the other. CD and TPM are good examples of guys surrounded by yes men thinking their shit don't stink, not to mention wasting time tinkering with style over substance.

Phantom actually has enjoyable scenes and is just more like 'a children's Star Wars' where Revenge is like a child trying to be serious.. Attack is just pure shit. Think nothing of it.back to Chinese, it's similar being the one that followed the legacy many years later and failed to live up to expectations, but the songs on it are no children games, some of which tend to be pretty magnificent. Doubt "the next one" will be better than Chinese.. but hopefully more popular!by the way, haven't been checking out the news section for awhile, are people still expecting a new record? is there anything that suggests it? -a simple 'yes' or 'no' will do, if yes, I can research myself =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Harry Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Funny how The Phantom Menace is the one with the worst score on imdb. Also Jar Jar Cuntface ruins the whole movie. But Clones was shit, in a different way though. Fuck it, what does it matter. They are all uniquely shit. Thank fuck Lucas will be kept in the background for the sequels.

Thank fuck Lucas will be kept in the background for the sequels.IMDB is frequented mainly by 16 year olds who think The Dark Knight and Inception are the best movies of all time.The thing about "Jar Jar Cuntface" is, he's a relatively minor character who doesn't have much impact on the story. If you take him out, the movie is relatively unharmed. If you take out the stuff that makes AOTC and ROTS shit, you no longer have a movie.

Dirty Harry Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Maybe so. For the record, those movies are overrated too. But really, I have never come across anyone that likes TPM. Maybe you could explain why you rate it in a star wars thread or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To compare two things it helps to discuss them. Edited February 19, 2013 by bacardimayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And AOTC is definitely the worst of them.I'm surprised brainsaber hasn't really jumped on this yet, him being the Star Wars forum veteran.

rocknroll41 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) The Phantom Menace almost had a good and unique synopsis (underwater settings, civil unbalance, pod racing) but such ideas were executed poorly thanks to other factors of the movie (little kid, political flaws, Jar Jar).Attack Of the Clones was just plain shit.Revenge Of the Sith was the best of three (for me at least) simply because it tried it's best to ignore the other two (very little Jar Jar, e.t.c). With that being said, there were still some things it couldn't erase (Hayden Christensen, e.t.c) so it was still overall a bad movie.More on topic, Axl Rose is basically the George Lucas of rock. They were both young rebellious artists who defined their own genres and earned the respect of virtually everyone until the egos drove them into being recluses and when they returned they were physically unbalanced and because of their past legacies, they were able to turn everyone around them into yes-men so that they could get away with whatever.Axl's advantage is that Chinese Democracy was still somewhat decent (though it should not be labeled as a Guns N' Roses record) while the Star Wars prequels are total shit. George's advantage is that he eventually realized he fucked up and is now trying to make up for his mistakes by hiring new, and much more professional people, to make new movies that will hopefully restore the Star Wars reputation, while Axl has yet to do something like this.

Ace Frehley Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 TPM is the best of the prequels. I imagine CD would be the best of the trilogy if the other two ever came out.I agree with you dude. TPM was the best of the prequels. Although nowhere near as good as any of the "Holy Trilogy", I still watch it maybe once a year. And to the haters, even you have to admit that the song playing during the lightsaber threeway between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul (Duel of the fates) is awesome. Try watching that and not sing along. Or at least hum it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, like with the The Phantom Menace, the overall synopsis sounds promising, George simply didn't execute his ideas properly. George can probably write a really good two-paragraph summary or something, but he has issues with writing a full script with fleshed out dialogue and ideas and his editing skills are awful (nothing but an overuse of CGI and shot-reverse-shot). So I'm really glad now for the new movies he's getting other people to do that stuff for him, not to mention people who have reputations of being really good at what they do (Michael Ardnt, Lawrence Kasdan, Simon Kinberg, JJ Abrams).
