episode 1, your thoughts

Started by queeq5 pages

Robot chicken rules. Old stuff though. But still funny.

Why I love Episode I:[list][*] It's the most well written of the PT. By far. There are only a couple of cringe-inducing lines.
[*] It has the best-looking VFX. Serious. I think the VFX are integrated so much better in this film. And I think a lot of that is to do with it being shot on film.
[*] It has the best story. The most mythological story. The most personal story. I think Episode III could have taken it out in this category, but it just wasn't executed very well imo.
[*] It has the best lightsaber choreography. If you're not going to have the emotion of the ESB and ROTJ fights, you've at least got to have amazing choreography. The ROTS duel has neither the choreography or the emotion.
[*] It has the best lightsabers. This is the only movie that gets the look of the sabers themselves right imo.
[*] It's the only PT film that feels like Star Wars to me. It's the only one the feels real... the others feel so synthetic.
[*] I don't hate Jar Jar. I think he's a great character and I like the role he plays in the film.
[*] The pod race is awesome.
[*] Qui Gon is an awesome character, and Neeson is the only actor besides McDiarmid who knows how to pull off Lucas's dialogue.[/list]The end.

1, maybe so but people like story rather then vfx
2. the story sucks. are you 6? episode III took it in the most personal story.
3. the lightsaber coreography is fricken awesome... your right, but your wrong about the emotion/coreograpy. the coreography is amaizing in the rots duel
4. the lightsabers are all right, i guess, but i dont see the difference between rots and phantom menace
5. i know what you mean bout it not feeling like star wars. your right. none of the pt seem like star wars to me. it seems like a whole different story. it would have been cool if they had the anh sabers in the pt.
6. oh my holy crap. you just said that you like jar jar. what are you, 6? waste of time idiot...
7. pod race is so obviously annoyingly bluescreened its not even funny. the horrible little kid cant do his lines like hes moving at 200 miles an hour and he sucks.
8. your right except james earl jones and christopher lee are as good if not better in their roles then liam neeson. liam neeson is good in batman begins. this was the worst movie of his carreer.

your entitled to your own opinion, but you stand corrected.

Nah, it's boring and poorly cut. The Yoda/Sidious fight is brilliant though.

Yes! OMG! This is exactly the precise reason the PT sucks!

Indeed.

My bad, I meant out of the PT actors. Everyone in the OT is pitch perfect with their performance.

Devil DoDO!!!! How've you been?

the dooku and yoda vs sideous fights were very good. the anakin vs obi wan one was ok but not as good as it could have been.

and i wouldnt have put it that way.... the saber effect doesnt make it suck hehe. it would be cool if they had the bright color and the flicker in pt thou.

At least the sabres are not pink, as in the latest SE's.

Pink lightsabers? What?

ROTJ... lightsabres look pink here and there.... really ugly.

The only thing that could have made the sidious vs yoda more interesting for me would be if the senate was in session or about to be in session.

Cool... would have betrayed Sidious though.

oo and hes chucking crowded senate pods at yoda and they explode.... right in the middle of roll call....

Splatter galore.

hehe the lightsaber is a great anti gore weapon as it cauterizes wounds. and pretty feasable. i think this is kind of what lucas had in mind.... it would just like show a big firy explosion and screaming...

A senate pods can crush skulls and other body parts. Plenty of splatter there.

yea but my point is that george lucas would deprive us of that. because he hates us. in fact, he deprived us of the whole idea. no senators in the pods, no explosions, no screaming, no splatter. so he hates us even more then i set out to prove in the first place...

im going to go find a dark corner to suck my thumb and cry....

Welcome to our contry. ROTJ is the only film definitively WORSE than TPM

Nah.

You go do that. 😉

Whoa, there is no SW movie worse than TPM. I can barely stay awake. Why the hell would they actually extend the podracing scene? It was a snoozefest when it was short.

And the Ewoks were not bad enough to ruin all of ROTJ.

I agree with the latter.
