I was trying to follow him and to see his point, but that's just beyond my limits.
hmmm....

Reason #2
"I shouldn't have come back."
The movie begins with an assassination attempt on the life of Senator Amidala. When several of her staff lie dead she says: "I shouldn't have come back." Isn't she a senator? How could she possibly avoid coming back? In what way has she been representing her planet for the past ten years that hasn't involved being in the Senate Chamber with all the other senators?
Umm, firstly she wasn't a senator for ten years, most of the time as she said she was queen. Also it is perfectly acceptable for a senator not to show up durring a meeting, they do it in the US Senate.
good defence... she was a queen who avoided her home planet... even better.

Reason #6
Gundarks
They just had to do it. In an elevator ride Anakin pointlessly brings up the time that he saved Obi-Wan after he fell into a "nest of Gundarks". They laugh about it... and it's really dumb. I will eat my hat if Nerf Herders are not mentioned in the next movie.
The point of this is to give the Master-Padawan relationship some more depth, the are bound to have memories from the past ten years they shouldn't be acting like they barely know each other
but they don act like they barley know each other....

Reason #10
Bugs Over Bullets
The assassination attempts on Amidala continue. Putting a bomb in her ship didn't seem to do the trick so these unknown assassins start to get a little more creative. Amidala's bedroom is protected by laser motion detectors all across the floor while these giant windows remain unguarded. The assassins decide to fly a droid over that will spread a part of the window open (how I'm not sure) and release poisonous bugs that can crawl underneath the lasers and bite the Senator. They opt for this method rather than sending the same droid over with a gun to just shoot her with bullets which would also not trip the lasers and would be foolproof. Instead they send living beings to sneak past Jedi who are masters of the Force, a mystical power created by life. Dumbasses.
If you want to see people shooting each other, watch an action movie, not Star Wars
that is the lamest thing i've ever heard....
what an ass.
funnily enough, my remark to this is out lined by onther poster

I remember the first Austin Powers movie, where Dr. Evil had an eliborate plan to kill Austin, and Scott was saying, "Why don't we just kill him? I'll shot him right now." And Dr. Evil tells Scott no. I mean, obviously we can't have Padme die. I guess this guy doesn't like any movie because most movies have that contrivance.
To be honest I see his point, but then this is a movie, where there is supension of belief. Sure, why didn't Zam put a bomb outside the window, so the whole apartment blows up? Obviously no one was monitoring the outside of the apt.s. Then we wouldn't have a movie, duh.
so er... yeah. maybe we would have just had a better movie?
Bad guys that are stupid just aren't really a threat now are they...

It's like that episode of the Simpsons where Homer gets his arms stuck in two vending machines. Just before they have to cut his arms off, one of the firemen says "Homer, you're not just holding on to the can are you?" - "Your point being?". Anakin had the same problem.
this dude is my long lost brother... that's what i said!!!
i have to say i am impressed with some of the points outlined... but if you really want to like something you will... and if you really don't want to like something you won't.
however... i really wanted to like both movies, and i didn't. what does that say? that i'm an idiot... hmm maybe. but i can give a better argument aginst it then anyone can for it.
