Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace - Movie Review 

Am i first?

***** I don't like to keep figures in package (mostly), because I feel that it kinda negates the purpose. If I'm going to get a cool Darth Vader toy, I'm going to put it with the rest of the figures. It just feels better to me.

***** ey J.J. u wan sum fuk? PLZ!! :D :D

***** I'm*

Cross over?

***** I understand Anakin not liking sand, i mean cmon, would you want to spend your entire childhood in Tatooine?

***** Next time.

***** me either. it's course.... and rough..... and irritating..... and it gets everywhere.

Not like you :)

Makes it even funnier when you hear the other one laughing in the background. xD

@@mcoupe69 No?

βread yes Bradley..yes

That was a good line.

He’s parroting the Plinkett reviews and is not very intelligent.

Because these """critics""" don't know the first thing about Cinema or Art in general.

Oh Hi Johnny

Yes that was just great.

Manmadespacecraft Oh hi Mark

a sad bunny Hows your sex life?

MrKockNoker Can't talk about it

AnSan yes. very true

I prefer Battle of the Heroes from episode 3 personally.

MadCourier 6 Same here but the soundtrack in the prequels are objectively great and I believe to be the greatest in the franchise.

The droids theme song is also some stellar stuff, I still have that oppressive melody get stuck in my head every now and again. It's almost as intense as the Imperial March in that respect, though not as iconic.

There is a few scores I liked from the soundtrack, and there are three of my favorites. I bet you can guess which ones are my favorite scores.

Hey whazzup! Plinkka! Where's my pizza roll man! I need some shit right there! Mail you if you can man! I need to refresh this boring "The Phantom Menace" out of my memory! 😆

Harry Plinkett Where is my pizza roll,Plinkett?! I emailed your webzone and still pizza roll.

Harry Plinkett i mean how much more could possibly fuck up the entire back story to star wars. and wile my son eventally hanged himself in the bathroom of the gas station the unforzunate reallyty of the starwar-preqouels is that they'll be around. ...forever ... they will never go away

Harry Plinkett Got any extra rope and pizza rolls, i'm stuck on a deserted island to stay far away from this film

Harry Plinkett Where's the Plinkett Intro Music

I think the politics makes the world a lot more realistic and relateable which is great. However, think they should've toned it down and not have so many "sit around and talk" scenes.

@@okayge_ I think the sit around and talk scenes could've worked if the dialouge actually worked. Just look at the first four seasons of Game Of Thrones

@@imheretosayyo3064 Its war, there are always politics in war. I feel like they could of used the jedi council to speak about the senate shit, since there also tense about Naboo as well. Isnt that we want to see Jedi? Like idk why they were on the backburner for so long and instead we got so much shit about bureaucracy treaties in the most stale way possible. Its just so dumb

It was like the very political ww1, which wasn’t good vs evil, but more of an empire vs empire. The original trilogy is like ww2, where it’s actually a battle of good vs evil.

Seriously, why do ppl have a problem with this. Those scenes make it feel more real.

It's like poetry, it rhymes

StupidWizardFilms Fuck you, Rick Berman. You ruined this too?!

What is it with Rick's?!

StupidWizardFilms What's wrong with your face?

StupidWizardFilms JarJar is the key to all of this.

D Vass Amazing Spiderman was mine loved it the first two times then really sat and watched it with out the fan goggles. I felt so ashamed.

Sam Liz You have nothing to be ashamed of. Trust me, there is plenty of Spider-Man material that is far, FAR worse. *cough* ONE MORE DAY *cough*

Every time I see Peter Parker dance I feel like bamboo shoots are being shoved under my nails.

Trevor Tharp Yeah, WTF were they thinking?

D Vass I used to hate Spider-man 3... then I saw the Amazing Spider-man!

that's sooo cute hope you guys are doing great together

That’s Wholesome

That's a kick-ass light saber fight....🤘

I was a little boy back then, the lightsaber fight blew my mind

It was an awesome movie, Stuckmann just needed views. You should watch Rick Worley documentary on How To Watch Star Wars.

And I think it's quite fitting for people like Chris Stuckmann.

@@comicsans1689 what's wrong with him?

@@adriannn3720 nothing he made a great review for this film

What?????????.

@@adriannn3720 What isn't wrong with him?

And they both have a dying scream as one of their few lines.

Well hey Darth Maul and Boba Fett both appears in THE CLONE WARS obviously.

Boba Fett appears in season two and four and Maul appears in season four and five and REBELS obviously.

What is so great about Bobba Fett?

@ThatPurpleFunk Don't forget one of the coolest helmet designs ever.

Cheetos Hmm mhmmm....Really though? I only remember Duel of The Fates and Battle of The Heroes. Can you direct me to some other scores from the prequels that were really good?

That's a fact. Good point.

ShinbrigTV It's "Park," not "Parker." He also played Toad in the first X-Men movie.

GameStation3 HAHAHA my bad!

***** The train killed him, not Batman. And besides he lived on in his mind.

ShinbrigTV "I'm not going to kill you. But that doesn't mean I have to save you." Yeah, Batman killed him. Him and Harvey Dent... and a few of those guys in the tunnel chase.

ShinbrigTV He got shot and killed in Micheal Collins. Couldn't tell ya who shot him though.

Darth Jar Jar is real

he will bring the balance...

He's a funnier character than we ever had before...

What is it with Ricks?

"I may have went a little too far in some parts"

Did you get an asthma attack

I was surprised he kept that after all these years lol.

+PhantomNews01 That line cracked me up. heh :-)

+Stewart Landa Those few seconds of that radio show was hands down more entertaining then the entire Phantom Menace.

It was Fake and Gay

"There is an over reliance on CGI" shows example of miniature model tanks.

"Original Trilogy is timeless because they use real models"- shows images that are actual 2D images

George Lucas did not watch 'Jingle all the way' and pick Jake Lloyd.........guess its easy to be an influencer. Just take laxative and turn microphone on

+Nick Samuel Extremist Christians in a nutshell.

LOL the funny part is, we didnt go to church or anything XD my mom was fine with halloween and such, but that one time she thought it was a bad omen XD

Nick Samuel No offense to your mum or anything but is she still like that?

no shes not, i walk around in shirts with metal bands and shit on them, nobody says squat

as long as i dont dance around a pentagram everything is fine

Look up "what if the prequels were good". I forget who does it...but he has a video for each film & what should have been done. Interesting shit. He says that Obi Wan should have been main character throughout with Anakin as supporting role. Obi Wan main character. Maul as main villain not getting killed until episode 3...that alone fixes a bunch.

+FACE Maul is not the sort of villain you could follow for 3 films.

kingmatt2563 Sure he is. Well...Darth Maul with character development and dialog is. Darth Maul as shown in the film is lame...great fight...lame character (He has more dialog in the trailer than the actual film). He was fleshed out in Clone Wars cartoon and Rebels...he's actually quite a good character. If you watch Clone Wars...then RotS, the Grevious fight hold more weight too as he's giving a ton of development in the cartoon. So you're like, "finally, they take Grevious out" instead of, "who the hell is this guy?" Be it Maul or another Sith...I think if the villain got away in Episode 1, this would hold more weight when he is killed in episode 3...especially as Obi Wan finally kills the guy who killed his master...this is a thread that would loom over episode 2 and part of 3...that Obi Wan feels guilty about losing his master.

FACE The Prequels were centred around Anakins development not really Obi Wans. The first movie was about Obi Wan becoming an independent Jedi. But it shows him as loyal to the force and his master, hence why he kills Maul at the end. The film introduced us to the master, but the prequels are meant to be about the apprentice. Of course Obi Wan was one of the only well acted and scripted characters in the prequels.

+kingmatt2563 Right...I'm saying that if there was more of a focus on Obi Wan it would be a good thing. Also if Anakin started off as an adult...we didn't need kid Anakin.

Kylo is more interesting than Snoke anyway 🤷‍♂️

I agree... I love Kylo Ren. It's a shame with Snoke because there was this huge mystery behind him and even though we may get an answer in episode 9... no one cares anymore because he's dead.

I thought the scenes with him were the most intimidating thing I’ve seen in a theater. The way he stands over everyone and his sudden shifts in mood were terrifying. Rain wrote and directed this character extremely well regardless of wether or not he died. Especially Kylo ren, who was made a more interesting character because of it. But I don’t know what jj abrams can do for him what rain did. That’s what concerns me because I did not like the force awakens.

Snoke dying actually had an impact on the story and the character arc of kylo Ren, mauls death did nothing.

Rian: Oh thank you fuck you

Yeah me too!

Still love Harley Quinn though. Gorgeous.

The last jedi was phantomed menaced like never happened before

Em Hu yep. Unfortunately

Same and Batman v Superman

I was Phantom Menacing after the first Hobbit movie.

Same

+Jude Monge They were good...

+Stephen Gontis I am not saying they were terrible films. They were far from that. I'm just saying they were really disappointing. Their execution just wasn't up to par with the LOTR films. I actually enjoy them for what they are.

If I may, I think the first and third hobbit movies are Ok. Desolation is good. Not as great Lotr, but still entretaining and fine for what they are.

Plus the first thing you mentioned is what the movie is named after.

I totally agree with you. It's not as bad

I love this movie it’s the perfect window into Anakin’s childhood and worldview and palpatine planting the seeds of his master plan.

That part was hilarious hahaha

A.D.K honestly that part was hilarious gosh

Meesa*

How?

Cringe

Careful mate, you'll trigger a rabid fanboy

THE PHANTOM MENACE IS THE GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME, HOW DARE YOU! POD RACING! DARTH MAUL! OUTSTANDING ACTING! EMOTION! A++ 110/100 IT BREAKS THE SCALE!!!

Vyacheslav Molotov bro your dumb its not like it was that bad

I know right!

Shut. The. Fuck up you don't. Appreciate. The art from. Star wars

Joshua Tripp calm down there Christopher walken

Oh ok i calim down

Justin Nitsuj 7am

I find your comment true asf

Younger Stuckman has points, but his "ranty" tone doesn't do it for me. Maybe I'm older now so watching videos, or listening to older fans just dredge on abt how much they hate something to no end is tiresome. Glad he's mostly changed the way he reviews movies now.

@@ahdamn6287 Agree. I remember when I first watched this and his whole rant about the podrace where he says the camera just pans from left to right. And I'm like dude most race tracks follow a loop over and over until the laps are finished. And it's not like it used that same camera shot repeatedly. It feels really nitpicky no doubt.

@@enlightenmentdoesntcomeeas5337 Pod race scene still slaps

​@@ahdamn6287I found Stuckmann's channel in early 2019 so like 4 and a half years ago, came back to this review video today and yeah it's kinda strange, he's still great at what he does but his tone and everything just doesn't hit like it did back then.

And that is why star wars the clone wars inhibitor chip idea is so dumb, the clones were never meant to be normal humans they always had loyalty to palpatine and knew their purpose from day 1, the clone wars series falsely humanizes the clones when that was never georges original intention for them, they were supposed to be soldiers only almost robotic like and then they came up with the chip idea which just turns them into braindead zombies at the flip of a switch its dumb

I honestly forgot why I posted this and in what context it was.

Are you having a short term memory lost?

Gaming Dragon XD that's still funny

And the lightsaber scenes

And Liam Neeson's Qui Gon and Darth Maul

Episode 3 was pretty good the other 2 were horrible

Mike Hurt true

Ewan Mcgregor as Kenobi and Ian Mcdarmid as Sidious were massive highlights to me during the prequels.

Qui gon is one of my favorite star wars characters

Hannah Pilkey Star Wars HISHE is my favorite from that channel. That part always gets me.

Hannah Pilkey you just reminded me that I haven’t watched any of HISHE’s Star Wars episodes in a while, and now I’m gonna go watch them. Thank you my friend.

But those things are just character traits, that have nothing to do with how he played the character. Or rather how the actor was directed to play the character.

RageJoona yee

I agree. I really liked Neeson in this, ad Qui-Gon's character. I also like The Phantom Menace. It could've been a better film, but I still like it.

Also remember he’s very stern

Omg your right lmao

Thats perfectly put 🍻 And i agree But there are a few minor issues with how it was written

Thank you! Finally someone who was actually paying attention to the film.

@@theanonymouscritic1710 hard to do when it's a snoozefest

+Kate the bear "Try" That sounds like it's a difficult task ;)

l GrandusHoopus Lol absolutely. It's tedious and takes an immense amount of patience. And also copious amounts of alcohol.

Yeah I agree haha. I kinda liked the Droid designs, like the destroyers and all that. They were cool to see. There's like 10% of the movie that's awesome.

Eric Chappell Yeah and "Duel of the Fates"! That score gives me chills every time. :D

+l GrandusHoopus "That sounds like it's a difficult task ;)" Okay, just real quick, "like it's a difficult task", not "like a difficult task", as in, "try, that makes it sound difficult". It's not a difficult task because, aside from a certain segment that had overwhelmingly negative reactions, I and II were rated above average, and that's with Jar Jar etc. taken into account - so really, you can't throw a rock without hitting several of those things, as with any movie of that general qualitative level.. Anyway, just clarifying what I meant up there, obviously this thread is aimed in a different direction.

And so they drive him towards the Dark Side from the very beginning. Anakin was never the Chosen One.

The question is... who cares about all this Senate bullshit???

@@filmtoppings nobody. But had it not been so bad it would have been one of those aha moments. I mean the way they pulled it off was awful.

Chris is mistaken about a great many things

Bruh we all did

Yeah, you ain't alone brother.

I knew i couldn't be the only one

phelan gameing I did the same in attack of the clones

Sam Tyler I did it more in AOTC than in TPM now that I think about it. I just can't hate these movies! Yes they are herendous (except the third installment which I adore personnaly) but childhood nostalgia. The funniest thing in this video is the truthfullness in Darth Mawl's lines in the movie. "At last we will have out revenge..." and "UUUmmPH"! I was laughing on the floor litteraly! xD

Never saw it that way, honestly. But side by side, Maul is a little more badass than Fett, especially with the EU lore mixed in. Plus we did get an awesome Maul in The Clone Wars tv series.

+Jonathan Gonzales yeah, Maul looked great but what in the movie ever suggests that Darth Maul is a badass? Darth Vader's a badass. Asajj Ventress is a badass. Maul is just a wannabe sith lord.

+Xelpherpolis episode 3 is an A.... and episode 2 wasn't that bad

+Imran1810 "episode 2 wasn't that bad" u on crack boy

+Martin Parobek I enjoyed all of them...

Episode I: C- Episode II: D- Episode III: B+ Episode IV: A Episode V: A+++ Episode VI: A-

+JockKroser haha perfect

Don't believe you. Qui Gon Jinn had the personality of wonder bread; and scarcely served any purpose in the story.

+Yobachi2007 Just like Darth Maul. At least The Clone Wars TV show tried to fix that by giving him some actual character.

LoN3wOlF5tudi0s Maul had flair and style. He had superior bad ass skill and a lot of potential. He was the best thing in that movie to me, just extremely under utilized. And he certainly shouldn't have been killed in favor of Count Dooku. Not that Dooku wasn't a good character, but he was no Maul.

Yobachi2007 All he had going for him was looks and fighting style. He was easily the most shallow character in that movie, and yes, he could've been great. Killing him off was stupid, but it's not like he had any character anyway. What if they kept him in the next two movies? Would he still just be some guy we know nothing about who the heroes fight at the end?

LoN3wOlF5tudi0s "All he had going for him was looks and fighting style" Yeah, and that's plenty, especially compared to the cardboard we were told to think of as characters in the rest of the prequels. If he would have actually been built out, instead of having two lines then getting murder in a ridiculous manner in his 4th time on screen, he had potential to be a lot more. He was shallow because he wasn't used. And still wasn't the most shallow. That comment is ridiculous. We don't know what his personality was like. He never got to show it because he didn't interact with anybody, and had only two lines of dialogue.

"did you have an asthma attack?"

_good_

Yup I play It sometimes

Fuck you

@@legotwoface 😂wtf

Huh... That's... You may be onto something...

The Clone Wars series...?

4 and 5 both A+

He's already reviewed the originals. He gave them A+, A+, A.

The President He took down his original Star Wars reviews. Probably because he's going to review them again later.

jyu467 Oh really. Makes sense.

You're icon makes me proud!

xTheRealDiscordx most definetly

Justice League really is a Phantom Menace

Wow that's extreme just over a movie

KingOfJunx I agree

Tanishq Chandra I was more disappointed with Justice League

king koopa Not really. I did say "might be". I think it's an intriguing idea, but frankly I doubt George Lucas has that much subtlety.

That Theory is Fake and Gay

+ixtl guul That theory is the ridicilous attempt to excuse one of the biggest cinematic disappointments in history. And like you said: Lucas does not have that much subtlety.

+ixtl guul Or he might just be an idiot that is so bad as a character and creation that some fans are desperately trying to explain away and excuse him. LOL do you honestly believe after watching the prequels that George Lucas had some master plan for a moron who was only created so the kids could wear their parents down into buying them everything Jar Jar. cha ching.

rochey1010 I think I already answered that question :)

Menelliee respectfully disagree

Cool. I would have liked to love them too.

Do you have a GED by any chance.

Episode 1 gives so much more depth to a world that existed before the originals, I don’t understand why people hate them, like what do they want, art has no correct answer

@@hippiecheezburger5457 bad dialogue, bad acting, boring plot, Jar Jar and bad cgi atleast those are the reasons why I don't like them and like 90% of the people who watched the movie.

Also it called duel of the fates because it’s the fate of Anakin if Qui Qon lived he would not have turned

Okay, I appreciate what you're going for, but I highly doubt that Obi-Wan activating his lightsaber before Qui-Gon has any symbolic value.

I donno, maybe it could also mean that Obi wan is more impulsive and Quigon more patient and mature?

@@MrZackavelli every millisecond of a digital effect is meticulously crafted. Then you get the sound effect in there... It's impossible that there wasn't a plan going on there. Lucas is crazy about effects and editing

@@vgrepairs have you watched the behind the scenes documentary of Phantom menace? he is super casual about so many parts, its crazy how inconstant he is. He gets focused on weird stuff man.

RedTeamReview I feel like I'm stalking you around youtube, but you just keep commenting on videos I watch xD Also EPISODE 4 REVIEW PLEASE. *whip noise*

***** Ya ya ya I'm doing it I'm doing it

holy shit, your making comments everywhere

RedTeamReview You hated, pod racer? Get the fuck out of here!

RedTeamReview I could never get past the fourth mission. but i beat pod racer

I had no idea what was happening

mstep89 I didn’t understand either but I was interested nonetheless

Jeb Atman i like it.

It wooshed when I was young, but I grew to like them. The prequels aren't just about how Anakin became Darth Vader, but also how Palpatine became Emperor. They are important to Sheev's story, and I always get chills when it all comes together and he gets the emergency powers, effectively taking control of the entire senate.

@@darkxarchon people at this point try their best not to understand the movies lol. I'm not joking watch a modern shit talk review on prequels like cosmonaut. Its embarrassing to humanity

You don't know many people then

I have rather fond memories of the prequels as we, the first two movies aren't all that good, but they aren't awful either imo. The second was definitely bordering awful but I feel like the experience was redeemed by the third film, the three are pretty solid overall (aside from some incredibly uncomfortable romance and a whole ton of forced comedy in the first two movies). Revenge of the Sith had some great pacing and to this day I still enjoy watching McGregor and Christensen together in RoTS. I'm not huge on numeric scores but I'd give revenge a nice 7 out of 10, only brought down by Lucas's seeming insistence on making romance play a huge part in the story and some corny dialogue choices ("NOOOOOOOOOO"). I got way to carried away writing this, and I realise that I just spent 5 mins writing out a pseudo review of rots on a phantom menace review but yeah

as well*

@@bulldog4574 lmao. Its 2020 bud. Not everyone is a gen xer who hates the prequels

@@diadokhoi5722 It’s 2022 man, the Prequels sucked then and they suck now.

Finaly ACUAL CRITISISM

Perfect rebuttal. Yes TPM is flawed. But I wish more people actually used real criticism like you did.

That's for sure not the 180° rule. I understand on the surface thinking that but no that's not it when tracking a race like this you should have shot that rotate from on top of and pan to the right and than maybe the pod pulls away from camera. Or maybe you let the camera Track alongside the pod until it dissapear under a set of rocks. You don't need consistently set the camera in a single spot let the pod fly by it and track it like humans eyes watching race cars. A it's repetitive and B it's boring. The most boring part of actual race car races is that moment the fly by you because it's the moment your eyes can't really see what's going on like they can when the cars are further away and appear to be going slower(with the exception of the sound of the cars flying by which people love) watch well done racing movies and realize how often they are zoomed in and here's a pov than one from under the car than one from the infield and a couple sky views. This sequence is a mess of just constant cuts for a 3 second left to right watch the pods fly bye.

To clarify the 180° rule is a rule of filming characters talking or fighting. As in always show the same side of their face during the scene to not confuse the audience and make them lose spacial awareness and their minds have to readjust to who is left to right over again. Where a scene like pod racing where there is no need to understand that spatial awareness because it's rapid scenery changing and the audience clearly identifies one thing in front of another thing is the flow of logic and just track which way the pods are going. The only way you could mess up the human brain in this scenario would be to have the pods coming towards the camera as in seeming like they have now turned around and driving the course in reverse. You could easily do a shot thst shows the left side of the pods and still be able to track the logical flow of the pods without breaking the 180° rule.

But the podracers aren’t predisposed to face against each other in the scene. They’re moving in the same direction so they act virtually as one line of motion, meaning you can film it from any angle you want

@KiroTheAssassin Even the first time you saw it?? No way…

@KiroTheAssassin You’re a nut. I’m muting you. lol.

@@twmax6525 Bro the scene is ass stop crying

@@kevinbl7821 No it wasn't. There's a reason Jeremy from Cinemasins took a few sins off for it in his videos. It's original, has cool sound effects, and gives you a taste of Anakin's future talent as a pilot.

In fact, now that I think about it, the first chase scene in Terminator 2 always had the camera on the left side the whole time, but that was still a kick ass scene, so what about that?? Huh??

Maybe because the taxation of trade routes is mentioned like once? There are no scenes that extensively go over the details of it. It's simple. New taxes angered the greedy bad guys, and they're blockading Naboo as a form of protest. I was 5 years old when I saw this in theaters, and I understood all of it.

@@MrZackavelli he’s saying the political aspects are talked about more than jar jar when you’d expect it to be the other way around. yeah the taxation of trade routes IS only mentioned once which is why it’s weird people talk about it when reviewing/critiquing the movie

As a kid I always found politics cool, in the movies Lol

I didn’t know that the politics where ahead of its time as I can relate to them in today's current event's

Tbh, there r so many people who complain about the politics of the film saying that it’s too difficult for children to follow, but as a toddler, I even enjoyed those scenes. So George Lucas succeeded in what he wanted to do with those films if u ask me

@@shotbro4998 so you were a booooooooooooring kid!!

My Universe I’m not a rare case of people who enjoyed the politics as a kid. Almost everyone my age who saw this film before the rest felt that way

The prequels are the best Star Wars movies.

They are good points though

⁠@@Shrek2sShrek2 No they’re not.

@@theanonymouscritic1710 Just because you grew up w8th these movies doesn’t mean they don’t have problems

@@Shrek2sShrek2 Still a matter of one’s opinion though.

wakeupscreaming I guess he built his part. Works 4 me.

They were always going to include a new sith in the movie, so it makes sense that they would just rewrite it go be Ray Park as Maul.

The point was literally that he would be expendable so I'm not sure what "critics" who say "Darth Maul should've survived" are thinking

Explains why the fight choreo looked great

Thank you. I always thought the same even when I was a kid watching the prequels I always thought everything was too shiny and lacked that look and lived in feel the OT had. I think lucas wanted the visuals to reflect a more elegant look since it was before the empire but it lost its grittiness that had been established in the originals.

Totally agree

I felt the same when I watched them, the charm of the original trilogy was lost in the prequels and probably I´m gonna upset a lot of prequel fans but when I watched episode 7 I felt watching SW for the first time; sure, it´s almost a carbon copy of episode 4 but it worked so well with me, I felt J.J Abrahams managed to recover the old charm of the original movies...until episode 9 came and threw to the trash can all the possibilities but that´s another story.

I agree, I have never understood why he got so much hate. He's a kid and acts exactly like a kid would

1977: Wow! George Lucas is awesome!!! 1999: I hate that guy... The fans suck and that's all there is to it.

I've honestly seen way worse from children actors but I wouldn't say his performance was "good" in any regard. However, considering how insane Lucas is he did an okay job I think

Amazing job? You need to switch drug dealers because your current guy is lacing your shit with a dangerous hallucinogenic. Blame the bad performance on Lucas if you want but this was one of the worse performances by a child actor in the history of film. This kid and Jar Jar alone make this movie unwatchable. But don't feel like I am just picking on those characters and actors. The rest of them sucked as well.

Uh Crazy Lucas I would've preferred Hayden Christen as Anakin in The Phantom Maniac.

I think the reasoning is having the same side and angle means you can just use the same cgi model just at a different angle. Cheaper and lazier

@@captaincrunch7126 it’s the same model regardless, moving a virtual camera is actually fairly simply. I think it’s a creative choice, personally. They had Industrial Light and Magic making that scene- they aren’t lazy. They made the shots George envisioned for the most part I’m sure and maybe cane up with some others.

Lucas worked on Grand Prix in the 60s, the podrace is an homage. He copied it shot for shot.

yeah I think the same

+True Music Reviews TPM is better than Sith according to me.

+Casey Smith PRETTY GOOD? Its not hard to be the best of trash. Episode 3 is a load of shit with ONE GOOD SCENE. LITERALLY ONE.

+Roldo Mustache (Ride) And that one scene is.....

Episode three is probably the best star wars prequel out there. It is still pretty bad though in my opinion. (BTW you got some guts saying that on youtube) *clap

Let's be honest though the first 2 movies are not good, you might like them but as a movie it's just so incredibly flawed.

@@supakoen2892 Haha well ur not wrong bud.... The romance seemed fine to me when I was a kid but as I grew up I realised how cringeworthy it was.... But then again, Lucas is a world builder, a storyteller.... I respect your opinion though

Then break the rule like The Bourne Identity did! (or Tokyo Story with 360 degree rule) Also, isn't 180 degree role only used when MULTIPLE characters talk/interact with each other?

廖浩 Yes, you can break the rule, but it would have been good for Chris to explain that. I don't think he knows about the 180 degree rule. And it's a rule that's always used, not just for multiple characters that are talking with each other.

+George Wroe Check out his review for The Bourne Identity where he actually explains what 180 degree rule means. Or a Cinefix Video named "Top 10 Rule Breaking Films" to see 360 degree rule I mentioned.

廖浩 Just watched his Bourne Identity review, and I'm pleased that he explains it! I'll be sure to check out that Cinefix video, thanks!

The 180 is for dialogues

Bloopsan Yes, how dare he use an example from a series that George Lucas said Star Wars would not exist without

It was just a joke, I love star trek almost as much as I love Star Wars

any scifi fan worth half their salt has at least an appreciation for both SW and Trek

madness.

@@ChristopherStandardTime OG trilogy has worse fights, and A New Hope is boring. Return of the Jedi has the Ewoks. Meh. Empire Strikes Back is solid tho

The sequels are much more disappointing than this movie.

@@blunew467 how?

Same. I just sat there with my father and asked „this was the Hobbit?“

Same.. I quite liked the book and I LOVED The Lord of the Rings books and films, but something about The Hobbit was just off... I think Lindsay Ellis described it best in her The Hobbit: A Long Expected Autopsy review

LMAO not even close. Hobbit was a good movie it wasn't nearly as bad as people are making it out to be as they are well made and acted and have great scenes. No way in hell is the hobbit a "bad" movie in the slightest.

@@Gadget-Walkmen That is all entirely subjective. Personally I thought it was terrible but if you liked it then good for you.

@@TheHungrySurgeon Sure but I just find it unbelievable for it to be anywhere near terrible. Disappointing, sure, but it has too many positive aspects, from likable cast of character, fun humor, good dialogue/acting, and great action to be anywhere near "terrible".

"nOw tHeSe aRe eYeS tHaT aNAlYZe mOviEs" - guy who doesn't know the ABCs of filmmaking with the 180 rule

Don't we all?

G4nst4Ch33se I was actually referring to RedLetterMedia's excellent review, where they mockingly keep showing Rick McCallum saying that sentence.

***** I don't care what anybody else says, I love it when Mr. Plinkett reviews Star Wars prequels.

MrDman21 Did I ever say I didn't like their reviews? I Fucking LOVE them!

My bad.

***** Fuck you Rick Berman! You ruined this too... wait that's not Rick Berman...

+James Henry Damn precise.

prequels except 3 are d-

I agree with your ratings for the most part though I thought you were shockingly generous to Phantom Menace.

Perfect list friend

negative sir. New Hope A Empire A+ Jedi A+ Phantom B Attack B-/C+ Sith A+ Force Reawakens C- For no originality, dulling of previous characters and lack of anything new

+Nit Picker When Rey wore that helmet it wasn't just cute but also I thought that soon enough she was going to fight alongside with The Resistance

People just repeating talking points. Palpatine is fan favorite, but politics bad, makes no sense.

@@barbzch the politics absolutely make sense. A society so large that it contains many planets is bound to have disputes about trade, which can often lead to populism taking root. Also the attempted arrest of palpatine in episode III is used as an excuse to centralize power much like the reichstag fire was used in weimar germany. Love the allegories here.

@@kapelski104 I agree with you. And, it's not even as if the senate related scenes take up that much space. Ian McDiarmid is tremendous as Palpatine. All the subtle changes in colour palette of set and clothes to signal the shift in power is also really well done.

That they are better than dogshit makes them good?

@@趙金德-x9v I didn’t say they were good I said they were better than the Disney movies. Learn how to read you idiot.

Yeah I was 5 when I first saw the phantom Menace, somehow the politics impacted me because now I love labor history, working class politics, Malcolm X, Cesar Chavez, Jill stein, socialism lol.

🤣😂

hi

No haha.

No there are way to many cuts to focus on what's going on, the CG is outdated! When I saw the pod race I was damn ps2 cutscene 😂
