May the Languish be with you, padawan...

To date, I refuse to watch pirated films that are recorded using a hand-held device in a cinema.  I made an exception for this one.  First time I saw it I thought it was awesome.  But it has aged terribly.  The more I watch it, the more I hate it.  Exactly the opposite of Episode 5.  I hated it as a kid but now I think it is the best among the 6 films.

I'm not saying it was good, but it was at least as good as the original three.
Purge him!
Flay him alive!

Tho' I've belted you an' flayed you,   
    By the livin' Gawd that made you,   
    You're a better man than I am, Maximus!

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

That's too good for him. Jail him with Jar Jar!

The Phantom Menace was horrible, horrible beyond words... The Return of the Jedi maimed the dream, the Phantom Menace did truely kill it forever.

It's funnier. Sword fights not as good though.

Quote from: saskganesh on May 20, 2009, 06:56:10 PMI think this movie is an excellent example of a cast giving up.

It takes an Alec Guiness to make Lucas's dialogue sound good.

he probably rewrote it as he went. just like Jar-Jar.  :D

Lucas had admitted he is bad at dialogue. no clue as to why he did not hire a script docto. because of the script (and bad direction), I'm guessing the actors simply did not get into it.

You could plainly see in most interviews with the actors that the undue importance of the green screen made for a poor set atmosphere and no interaction between the actors.

interesting... I usually am only motivated to watch interviews/behind the scenes if I like a movie as I only trash movies on my own time.

But he hired a script doctor for Attack of the CLones, and it was worse dialogue-wise than TPM.

It was so bad that I've never bothered to watch the 2nd and 3rd prequels.
