Prequel Trilogy Opinion Poll (2 years later)

ANH and ESB are good movies, period. ROTJ and ROTS a good SW movies. TPM wasn't as bad as AOTC, which looks stunning but is rather obsolete and has some of the worst acting of the saga.

"Awesomeness" is hardly a term I'd use if I wanted to express my feelings towards a film. If you cite Shawshank, Clockwork Orange and Bridge on the River Kwai as "good" cinema then you need to broaden your horizons.

For the record, The Mummy Returns is better than TPM or AoTC.

You think Shawshank, Orange and Kwai are NOT good movies???

Bridge on the River Kwai is a classic, and Mummy Returns is better then TPM and AOTC, its one of the worst movies i ever seen.

Mummy Returns is quite a bit worse than those two.

Good, certainly, but hardly flawless as examples of "good" cinema.

No, the Mummy Returns is far more involving than either TPM or AotC.

No movie is flawless.... But Orange and Kwai are as good as cinema gets. Not the only ones of course, but they show how masterpieces are supposed to look like.

I have a flawless movie. It's called Apocalypse Now. Now off to get me some more crack.

Save some for me.

A superb film, but not flawless. Especially the Redux.

non-redux was perfect in every way. 😠

Apocalypse Now is flawless. I've spent alot of time over the masterpiece that it is, and I cannot for the life of me lay a strong criticism on it.

And you know that it was GL who came with Apocalypse Now, right? 😛

Not as it eventually was produced, but the original concept and film was to be his, but he gave it to Francis Ford Coppolla who made a few changes and focused more on the madman character of Brando.

But the idea, like Indy for Spielberg, was from Lucas.

PwNt.

And? What if Lucas gave him the concept, it's still flawless.

And don't say "Pwnt". It makes you sound like an idiot.

I agree that it's flawless, and that Francis made it that way.

I was replying more to how you were saying that my opinion of the PT isn't a fair one, since I consider Bridge on the Rive Kwai, Shawshank Redemption, and Clockwork Orange to be "good cinema".

You said that and pointed out the Apacalypse Now is "perfect" cinema... which I find very amusing is a concept that GL came up with.

Oh, and PwNt. 😛

GL did not come up with the concept of apocalypse now. fail.

...and PWNT👆

I knew about Heart of Darkness; but what your saying Schecter, is that sithsaber408's comment isn't even true? 🙂

Caw and I was even going to take his word on it despite my instincts. Not that it makes any difference.

My initial response to your post would have been if you consider those films mentioned to be "good cinema", then how can you not consider one of the OT "good cinema". Yet I decided to just question your opinion that the films aforementioned are good cinema, when they all have alot of trouble tying up the loose ends.

no, im sure he's right about GL being chosen first to make the film. SS isnt a liar but he tends to way over exhagerate the situation to the point of fiction. GL was chosen first. fine. but its not his concept.
