Yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course it couldn't possibly be down to the simple fact that the prequels are fucking terrible movies; no, anyone who dares question Lucas's undeniable genius is simply jealous or narrow-minded or 'following the horde' or too stupid to appreciate the incredible depth and subtlety of lines such as "Wheeeeee!" and "Are you an angel?" (take your pick). BullSHIT.
Thats true, but small things like that really isnt an exuse to hate the ENTIRE movie... just Anikan and Jar Jar. Bloody little shits, I hate them so much.
Let me tell me something: back at the time I saw my first Star Wars movie (Return of the Jedi) in my mid-teens, I barely knew who George Lucas was. I had exactly the same opinion of it then as I do now: a cheesy but generally entertaining fantasy story with a few very good moments and a few extremely bad ones. I saw TPM a year or two later and thought it was utter crap - not because I was even aware of the 'fad' for bashing it, but because I can tell the difference between a good movie and a bad one. I can tell the difference between a well-written, coherent storyline and a dull, inconsistent mess with plot-holes the size of a Star Destroyer, between realistic and natural-sounding dialogue and lines that would shame a 1930s B-movie, between characters who are actually deep and sympathetic and those who make me want to carve them up with a rusty breadknife - and so on. And on and on and on and on and on. It has NOTHING to do with envy or nostalgia or bias or following the crowd, so stop trying to make out that it does.
Shut up, it does. Hey dont feel bad, by me going against it, Im actualy apart of it.
If you don't like to see other people bashing the prequels, piss off. I'm serious: just get the fuck out of here and go to one of the seven trillion other Star Wars fansites where you can rave about Lucas and the PT to your heart's content. This forum is one of the few places on the Net where you can criticise the prequels without being drowned out by a horde of illiterate twelve-year-olds screaming abuse at you, and those of us who do enjoy doing this intend to keep it that way. Learn to put up with it, and if you can't, get lost.
No, you get lost, Ill agree that 3 is completly crap but 1 and 2 at least were enjoyable to watch, if you dont like my opinion, suck my cock.
