Why does everyone hate Ep1 and 2

Most people hate episode one and two. I liked them. Episode one was a good quality movie. 2 was mostly for storyline and romance, which some people hate. But Why? Romance is a real part of life, making Star Wars more lifelike.

So my question is why? Why do you hate it?

Worst.Romance.Ever

err... Star Wars is supposed to be lifelike? 😑

I have nothing against Episode I... I think it's a fine film, if a tad childish. But when your central character is a nine-year-old it's kinda hard to expect it to not be childish...

Episode II was about storyline? 😑

Nothing happened in it! Anakin and Padme fell in love, the Clone War began. That's all. And it's the first part I have the biggest problem with...

The romance is just plain awful! I've seen better chemistry between a log and a pole. And, George, do you really need a whole movie to get Anakin and Padme together? Kirshner did it in two scenes!

Then you've got the writing, which is almost as bad as the acting. Master Lucas has said himself many a time he is a crappy writer but that his movies use the visuals and sounds to tell the story... Well when you've got a romance film rated PG you can't really show much 'action' to tell the story.. 🙄

The only scenes worth anything in the film are the ones on Tatooine. Those are the only ones that mean anything... And they're the only watchable ones.

And the duels are fickin pathetic.

It makes me wanna cry, it really does.

^^^Agree with DD

The romance sucked! No debating about it. just plain sucked.

Boba vs obi. - good duel
the bounty hunter chase was good.

The final duel the first half with just obi, ani, and dooku was fine but when yoda came it sucked.

It was just a buncha lame ass cgi bull shit. Can you say ****in tazmanian devil.

I liked both episode i and II better than 3.

Well Episode I only kicked ass for the final fight, and Episode II was as horrible as it gets with bad dialogue, stiff acting, and too much CGI. It may not be readily apparent now, but watch it a few more times. You'll notice.

I enjoy watching both movies because the droids rock 😄 im creating my own droid army you know so I can rule this pathetic planet.

cool, and I like both movies just Ep.1 is better then 2

I loved Episode 1 better the Episode 2

some may hate me for this but i liked 2 better than 1.

DONT SHOOT ME!!!

Because the movies were more concerned about good special effects than good story telling,which they severly lacked.Oh well,they were not as horrible as Return of the jedi.

they absolutely sucked. the first one focusses on a little kid and the plot is irrelivent to the overall story. And the second one takes forever to get to a decent action scene.

Umm... cos they suck. I mean come on...

I despised Ep II more than Ep I though. I liked the atmosphere in TPM better. And great saber fights. Space battle, some characters, and dialogue left something to be desired. The story line was good.

I like them, but other people understandably don't like them because they are honestly a bunch of waffle.

I have an affinity for waffle (being particularly partial to maple syrup) and thus this doesn't bother me.

You -are- crazy.

TPM was good except for the final minutes of The Duel of the Fates, to many camera angle changes, makes it seem like Maul had his finger up his nose while this was happening ever so slowly.

Really? I thought the Duel of Fates was easily the best duel in the series, outside of the ESB "Beat your son day" fest. Less pizzazz in that fight, though perhaps not enough. Liam does do this one spin in that hallway that is soo telegraphed it makes Sidious' stabs look stealthy.

Yeah, it was great fight. Very likely to be the best two on one swordfight scene in movie history. But I would've have done a few thing differently, I would have Maul do less twirling and have Obi-Won do more of a DS way to kill Maul.

I like them both a great deal; they serve their purpose in the six-picture storyline, which people need to remember. I stopped listening to the complaining a long time ago. 1.6 billion worldwide, the vast majority of patrons seeing each more than once, GIANT sales on DVD, and virtually everyone complaining they were no good. A small minority, no matter how shrill they get. 🙄

Ep1:The only good in that movie to me was the Maul-Obiwan-Quigon duel.

Ep2:The only cool part was the Battle of Geonosis beginning with all the clone troopers.
