I will quote you this time. Then we have lost you to the ways of good taste.....
............and you cannot restore your reputation by acknowledging the OT as ledge xD

However I may add, Episode 3 is a good film. It suffers from the reprecussions of the first two Episodes though but it is much better than the rest of the PT. However Episode 3 is definetedly a stinker compared to the OT.

There's nothing wrong with the prequel films in my opinion. They just differ alot form the OT, and I think that's the main problem most people have. They don't like change, while others don't mind it as much. Personally, the prequels are my favorites.

Change? They were run with the exact same formula as the OT just not successfully. Lucas calls it 'rhyming' lol. He is plaguerising himself.

OMFG! I've seen episode 4 and 5 just the other day and I couldn't believe how freaking much better they were than the new SW movies. The whole Star Wars galaxy actually seemed natural for both the viewer and the characters, the lighting and way it was filmed was far superior for some reason, the tension and plot building is far better.
I can't believe what the hell Lucas did in with the prequels. It's like everything went wrong.

But of course.. It's Star Wars, it has lightsabers and special effects so everyone thinks there is nothing wrong. Sure it is still much better than all that other garbage Hollywood spews out, but damn.. It could've been so much better if they hadn't tried to smash in everything as fast as they could.

The prequels are very good. Parts of them are excellent. There is no misunderstanding, you may hate them as much as you like, it doesn't change the fact that they are spectacular movies.

Why do you expect perfection? You're only going to be disappointed. Or are your standards so high that there's not a film alive that can hope to fulfill them?

Don't forget, the prequels also suffer from the fact that they ARE prequels. We know Anakin's going to go bad. That removes an enormous amount of drama from them. Seeing a prequel is unlike any other movie-going experience.

You don't even want to see my points, why is that anyway? You only saw the prequels didn't you?

And once again, I know they are better movies than most other hollywood garbage, but you people feel attacked apperantly.

Why do I expect perfection? Man, stfu. You have no idea what I wrote did you? I said they could've been a lot better.

Seeing a prequel is unlike any other movie-going experience.
Yeah, a prequel means you can just throw in everything all at once and people will have to think that's great.

The story of Anakin becoming Darth Vader should be one of the best stories ever told. However its clear that Lucas and cronies have gone sour under all the royalties they acquire.

It doesnt matter if you had expectations of the film, looking at these films objectively you can see how the quality has been lost.

I would just like to say in my opinion the prequals are fine and very enjoyable to watch just as the originals.
I would also like to ask if any of you people that are complaining actually bought the DVD's of the prequals? Cause if you did then you have no right to complain of how they sucked,.

Got first two = waste of money. Still deciding on whether to buy RotS.

And your a maul fan? I apoligise for this but how lame...

Oh please gimme a break, I don't feel attacked personally. The last thing anyone wants to read is a silly flame war.

There's not a movie in the world that could not have been made better.

And the old 'Lucas is just making movies to screw us and make money,' what a joke. Did somebody put a gun to your head and order you into the theater? Or did you willingly shell out money to see it?

The story of Anakin Skywalker's fall is one of the best stories ever told. I was in awe of pretty near every moment of eps I, II and III. I love all 6.

I'm sorry to single you out personally - still not an attack, oh well it might as well be now - but you have extremely bad sense of taste...

My taste is excellent. Yours on the other hand . . .

I love Episode 2 it is one of my favorite. It tells a great story. Yeah it is a love story with a little action but who cares. I would prefer to have a love story with a little action over a movie with all action and know substance.

True. I dont agree with the Episode 2 favourite. But true its prefered over a action film without substance. But Episode 2 is a love story with little subtsance to be honest.

Empire Strikes Back (ok, theres probably betterexamples outside of SW) is a great example of an action story(ok, adventure) with a great love (ok its limited but it works well).

ANd the guy who's name begins with a 'C' - i really cant be arsed to read it properly - go and watch top gun!

Just because a movie runs with the exact same formula doesn't necessarily make it like another film. Yes, the opening is the same, there's always a lightsaber duel, but I find episode 1, 2 and 3 to be alot different than the originals.

So only a few people agree that the prequels could easily have been better? Fine.. Still pretty weak. I suspect true prequel fanboyism or plain lack of insight.

No, the preuels are not great. I can appreciate TPM somewhat with ROTS out, but AOTC is such a redenundant movie all of a sudden. Nothing really happens in that film that has true ramifications for the saga. It's more like a very long stretched prologue to ROTS. The love scenes were crap and unbelievable. It had some good action, but it was all aimed at finding a guy called Syfo Dyas.... whom we never see or hear about. It brings a great Sith Lord in, Dooku, but his only purpose it to be gotten rid of early on in ROTS.... Weak weak weak.

"Nothing Happens"? Basically the major plot point of Ep II was Anakin & Padme falling in love. That has great ramifications for the galaxy, as Anakin's love for Padme led him to the Dark Side, which led to the Jedi wipeout, which led to Anakin's maiming & padme's death and the twins separation and basically all of eps 4, 5 and 6! What more do you want?

The love scenes were a little clumsy at time, but believable. I liked the awkwardness of Anakin and the strong-will of Padme, because they both are true. Ask any woman if she's ever in life had to choose between career & love. Happens every day. And with all the death and destruction in ROTS, AOTC seems even more sweet.

I'll say it again, the prequels don't stink. They're wonderful movies. They're not perfect films without flaws. But they're spectacular.

Are you sure that at least AotC was spectacular?
Romantic scenes, and a lame climax instead of the war that was supposed to be going on doesn't really fit my definition of 'spectacular'.
