RE: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Movie Review/Analysis/Rant Part II

in #life7 years ago

This is great. I love Star Wars, but HATE this movie. Many bad movies ask viewers to suspend their disbelief in order to accept the plot as is and follow along willingly. This movie asks you to shoot your disbelief dead and leave it in a puddle of its own blood on the floor in the hopes that a wandering rancor will find its next easy meal.

Sort:  

Lucas is a hack, he thought he only needed visual effects to tell his story, without actually having a story.

George Lucas is a genius, and you should at least think up some original criticisms instead of plagiarizing verbatim from Red Letter Media.

Agree. Grew up loving the star wars series, but I must say I've been extremely disappointed with the last two released. It's obvious now that the popularity comes from the sci-fi effects that were ahead of its time when it first hit the screen, and not some deep, insightful storytelling like GOT for example.

Absolutely, I wasn’t keen on Rogue One. It felt like a fan made movie, the AT-AT's felt forced and didn't have the same effect as when they appeared in the Empire Strikes Back, I think Rogue One is in my cross-hairs for a review.

The Force Awakens was enjoyable but it was a blatant soft reboot of the franchise. It was beat for beat pretty much like the original. They cannot play it safe for the Last Jedi, but I fear that it will be just a carbon(ite) copy of the Empire Strikes Back.

Hey yeah maybe you can just plagiarize this:
