The PT doesn't get bashed, there are just some wimps who are dead afraid of any type of discussing quality compared to the other movies and... criticism.. Oh my..
AotC is a somewhat nice movie but is a bit boring to a lot of people.
But luckily there are always some people who can like movies like Gigli for example. Doesn't make it a superb movie though.
k listen up the star wars saga itself could quite possibly be some of the greatest and most revolutionary movies ever made. ESPECIALLY the original trilogy. ep1.3.4.5.6 are amazing. but 2 is HORRIBLE. they should've had a cooler battle at geonosis. and the battle between ani vs. dooku sucked. dooku vs. obi had some cool sequences but thats it. they completely ruined dookus high rep in that duel it was shit when he faced ani. no good moves, no flips, no great sequences.. nothing, nada. the pt is known for its amazing battles. that one is worse than the ep4 one, WOW i can't believe it. at least the yoda duel and jango obi fight was cool. coz if they weren't the movie would'Ve sucked SOOO MUCHH MORE THAN IT ALREADY DOES. ep2 is a disgrace to star wars saga. sorry for being offensive or very harsh but its true. GL U FCKKED UP!
Agreed. Except for the part about Yoda's duel... it was awful. Yoda should have never taken out his lightsaber. He's too good for that. Seeing Yoda bouncing around like Kermit on speed was one of the saddest things I've ever seen.
I LOVED Aotc! The Yoda-Dooku was a highlight, the climax of the film. People were thrilled at that battle!
I love the way the film builds to it's multiple climaxes. It's one fantastic showcase after another! First the droid factory, then the monster mash, then the jedi attacks, then the rescue, then the actual clone wars (!), then the Dooku duels. It's a thrill ride, a rollercoaster ride, like from one theme park ride to the next, and each one tops the last!
It just blew me away when Yoda took out his sword and battled Dooku. And he took it out for defense, never for attack, so all those who thought he was "betraying" the jedi order by using a lightsaber, well, pfft. The battle was amazing, what a wonderful scene of Yoda away putting his lightsaber to save Obi-Wan & Anakin from the pillar, letting Dooku escape, and letting us see Padme look up into the sky as Dooku's ship pulled away. Now who didn't think of Leia in TESB at that moment, just like her daughter when Boba Fett pulled away with Han! You'd swear she looks the same, a different expression of course, but the close-up was intentional.
Then Yoda picks up his cane and hobbles away! What a payoff! Now that's filmmaking. Lucas is a giant!
And I swear, the finale of AOTC is one of the best in the entire series. There's just such impending doom with all the clones and the starships, and impending love, all in the same worldless moments. It's such a classic Star Wars moment, intentionally similar to the end of TESB. Mother/Father & droids, as compared to Sister & Brother & droids. The wedding was just incredible because it meant Anakin put love over his jedi vows, with drastic results for the galaxy, but true love for themselves. You can just feel the sadness and the joy in the same moment.
The way you talk about it... I envy you. I wish I loved the film as much as you do. But I don't. I could into a thousand reasons why, but I think people are sick of hearing about it...
"Then Yoda picks up his cane and hobbles away! What a payoff! Now that's filmmaking. Lucas is a giant!"
Yeah, exactly my idea when Yoda walked away..
But as for multiple climaxes or orgasms with some, RotS did a better job in that way although I'm not really sure it is possible to have multiple climaxes.

I know what you mean, I'm sure people tire of me saying how wonderful it is. Not that I think it's Hamlet, or flawless. It's got such an epic scale on so many levels.
Wow, some of you people complain way too much. You have not a clue how many hours of work it takes to do the scale of work required for a Star Wars film to exist. The effort they put into all the effects. You know, it's not some garbage they threw together. It takes time and alot of skill. "The biggest sh*t thrown together in 5 minutes" WTF? Yeah, the really compares to 3 years. I'd love to see some of you guys hop in the director's chair and do better. No wonder the world sucks so much, everyone acts so ungrateful and b*tches about everything to no end, even over a damn movie thats made for you to enjoy. Everyone just takes everything too seriously. And for those that complain about the overuse of visuals, you need to understand something. George Lucas is a visual story teller. He uses visuals to tell his stories, not dialogue, and you know something else, that's what sets him apart from any other filmmaker. That's his style. You could literally watch an entire Star Wars film, with no dialogue, only visuals and the beautiful music composed by John Williams, and you would be able to follow the story quite well.
I like the prequels because they are fun films to watch. You're supposed to have "fun" when you're watching it, and not pick over stupid sh*t like the noises the droids make or the way Anakin's hair looks.
Until you guys ever get on a movie set and see the enormous work, time and effort that takes place, quit complaining. You don't have a clue how hard they work.
well, sith master x does have a point, the movies are suppose to be watched to have fun,and yes, star wars does have excellent visuals and effects, and the story is amazing, its a whole new universe, so thats a score for Lucas
