I thought they could have made more of Maul. Ob1 killed him way to easily. People may say that these films were cr*p but they were esential to the story.
Re: 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?
No, I feel in love with Hayden when I saw him in AOTC. I was 13 tho.. (IT WAS ALL ABOUT THE EYES) but thats all in the past. ROTS actually made me hate him. i thought he was a immature little jealous ass-hole.... He still has those beautiful eyes.
But i think the reasons why ppl hate then so much.. or at least their excuse is becuz: Hayden Christensen's in it.. Natalie Portman is in it... and George Lucas made it...
I love both films. When I saw AOTC that was like the turning point of my life. I love Natalie Portman, and the SEXY Ewan McGregor..

It's a movie dammit...you either like him as actor or not....you can't jsut hate him for playing a role......now that he played it really crappy is another thing.

No the reason why they hatze it is because Hayden sucked as Anakin, Natalie Portman's acting was the worst I have ever seen and George Lucas screwed it all the way up. Now really, why should one hate it because George Lucas made them? I love the OT and he made them too.

Now Ewan McGregor was great there's no doubt aboot that....the Movies are pretty crappy though....RoTS is just as crappy though.
I loved them all. Ep I, II and III. I don't know why there's such hatred toward them or toward Lucas or toward the actors, people just love hating them because they think it's cool. It's easy to be cynical, harder to be positive.
I don't care about the cheezy script, there's wooden acting in all 6 movies! It's part & parcel of a sw movie.
What bad acting? I've seen every single movie multiple times and I'm thinking the people who are complaining about bad acting are big Gone with the Wind fans or something.
This is sci-fi, not some crappy plot-based bilge where the director takes 10 scenes to describe the grass on the ground. Star Wars is fast and furious and I'm just swept away by each and every film every single time I see them.
i loved ever film one reason b/c i was amazed about the animation and graphics. like i say "I'm a sucker for landscapes."
No in Ep.3.. i did see a little bit of bad acting, i'll admitt it, but..... the babies were cute, lol.
I dont really care if the actings bad in movies. The only acting i hate is Child Acting, i hate that s---. That Disney crap, no-no. I grew up with Cartoon Network and Nickalodian.
ROCKO'S MODERN LIFE!!!
one thing i noticed about Ep.I that i didnt like was that there's multiple scene where the actors are talking and the actors mouths arent move'n with the right words.
Yea, I don't get how they can't match those up better. Even Jar Jar's mouth wasn't matched up... and he was computer generated!
(Unless Jar Jar's was intentional.) When he says during the gungan-droid battle "This is nutsen," it's completely off!
I think TPM had the best acting of the PT, and a good not-too-slow/not-too-fast progression unlike AOTC in which the plot took forever and ROTS which moved extremely fast.
Both Ewan and Natalie did better in TPM than they did in the other 2 flicks. Padawan Obi was a no-nonsense asskicker, and Natalie was better as Queen Amidala than as just "Padme". She was a serious take-action politician that did exactly as she said she would and that pu$$y, Chancellor Volorum, wasn't gonna slow her down with legal bullshit.
McDarmid was great as Senator Palpatine, cuz we all know who he is, and we get to see how he pulls strings behind the scenes in order to accomplish his ultimate goal.
I liked the podrace, and that duel was definately the best in the PT cuz unlike in ROTS these Jedi lasted longer than 2 seconds and the first Sith Lord in a thousand years got wasted by a Padawan.
TPM and AOTC were god awful movies. TPM had some moments of the old Star Wars movies, but the whole Jar Jar thing, and Lucas should never have put a nine year old Anakin into the movie.
AOTC was poorly written, directed, acted, and shot. I thought the special effects were cheap and lazy. Know wonder Ewan was drunk during the making of that movie and Natilie Portman wanted out of the Star Wars saga. THe only good thing in AOTC is Dooku and Lucas only had him in the end.
I have said this many times on past threads what is wrong with the PT and I think Lucas failed big time with these movies.
TPM and AOTC are wonderful movies. Lucas hit a homerun with all of the prequels, and ROTC is a grand slam.
TPM was a thrill ride throughout. I didn't mind Jar Jar I thought he was very unique and original, and kids love him. Kid Anakin was just a kid, I'm not complaining. Liam Neeson was spectacular, he defines the role of Jedi Master. What a thrill it was seeing Yoda again, and Tattooine, and the final battles were absolutely gripping. Even at the beginning of the movie, they jump right into the action when Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon start taking apart the droids. What a thrill.
AOTC was wonderful. While most love stories are frought with endless naval-gazing, this one was a study of awkwardness. It's true, a lot of love stories do start off as painful as this one. Anakin follows his heart but knows it could betray his vows, while Padme is too much into the career to have a personal life. And yet due to the horrible episodes that befall Anakin, he changes. He's not the same man he was at the beginning of the movie. Christenson sinks his teeth into the Anakin role, and his telling of the slaughter of the sandpeople was breathtaking. The lightsaber battles were again thrilling. I didn't want the movie to end. I felt just like I did at the end of TESB, a middle piece of the puzzle has been filled in.
When I watch the prequels, I feel priviledged to see them. It's like being able to watch your parents fall in love, and see how everything started... I have that deep a feeling toward them.
