George thinks Palpatine is the only thing the holding the Empire together too.
Well if ignore the expanded universe, he is.
And the worst scene in TPM is the scene is Tatooine. So much little happens, aside from them picking Anakin.
The 6 Ultra Brothers vs. the Monster Army
Awesome miniature effects and colorful photography. Hanuman is also a pretty cool antihero.
"Many Gungans will be killed" Why is Quigon so unconcerned about the deaths of Republic pilots/anybody who participates in the battle.
King Kong (1976)
Liked Charles Grodin, Rick Baker's make-up and John Barry's score.

The final shot of Palpatine is removed as well. Less obvious that he is sidious.
Great, you can replace that with an earlier shot of Qui-gon in the pyre. I don't get why no other edit has done it so far, it's a simple but significant edit, essential to those hoping to keep Sidiouse's indenitity a secret.
My suggestion would to remove Sidious completely, dubbing over the Feds so they are more proactive. Instead of Sidious ordering them to destroy the Jedi, it could go like this:
"The ambassadors are Jedi knights, I believe"
"I knew it, they're here to force a settlement!"
"Destroy them immediatly!"
"Are you braindead? The Senate will not tolerate it!"
"The Senate doesn't need to know".
With careful editing and comp you can have them contacting Darth Maul instead of Sidious, asking him to take over when their plan begins to fail.
Godzilla 2000
Hiroshi Abe completely steals the show, and is a far more impressive foe for Godzilla than the monster he fought in this film.
Some PP (prequel problem) that never has been adressed: "Many Gungans will be killed" This line always bothered in the sense that Quigy is unconcerned about the Republic pilots and Padme's people in general. In the RLM review, Plinkett stops to make a point about this line and I thought he would be talking about this but instead he makes a joke about Lucas calling them "Gungas" originally.
I think Lucas has some great ideas out there, than when handled by the correct people and with proper restraint, result in great films.
Something that always bothered about ANH, how the music sometimes doesn't match the images, or rather a certain note starts a few seconds earlier than it should. I blame this on the editing rather than Williams, some examples:
The shot of Tantive beneath the Star Destroyer's belly.
Mos Eisley's introduction (the aerial shot of the city from the cliff).
Batman & Robin
The over the top nature makes for a surprisingly enjoyable experience. I also like the very colorful palette, and Goldenthal's score.
That future generations will have all the surprises from the OT ruined because they'll see the prequels first. As one who doesn't quite hate them (and would go as far as saying "Hayden has his moments") this is something that bothers me about their existence.
The end of Evil Dead 2.
In all Spanish versions of ROTJ Luke says "Nooo!" instead of "Never!".
We shouldn't let the disappointment of Star Wars's situation mare the enjoyment of great films being finally given great releases.

Yes! Finally this masterpiece deserves the treatment it deserves. If this one's on par with Criterion's Seven Samurai DVD/BD, then it could very well be much better release than Toho's. Oh, and the icing of the cake:

Both versions in consistent quality? Is there a positive equivalent to our beloved "Noooooooooooo"?
I always thought Yoda was much taller when he was young. And that Vader's lungs were pierced with a lightsaber. That's all I can remember.
Yes it is. It's also one the best movies ever made, and a landmark in science fiction/fantasy.
Is there a truly correct way to judge things though?
"The young rebel who destroyed the Death Star, I have no doubt this boy is the offspring of Anakin Skywalker"
"How can that be?"
Perhaps not everybody sees them as unsalvagable. But then again I don't want this to become a gusher/basher discussion so I'll just say to each his own.
I have brought:
to my new Empire!
Not like them as much as the OT (the two first films at least) but there is still enough in them to make of a case of good/watchable film. Kinda like the like the VS/Millenium series from the Godzilla flicks, that aren't on par with the classic era (54-75) but I still enjoy and watch on a basis.
"Not if anything to say about it, I have!"
Yoda's most forced dialogue yet.

"Sounds like a complete dicatorship to me"
"Well, if it works..."
I gotta say that scene is just about the only time I got the impression those characters had the slightest bit of interest in eachother.
But I don't want my protagonist to be fascist!
Life Day. It's a far worse deal (to me) to know Chewey gets involved in this kind of stuff (and dedicating 2 solid hours of scenes to it!) than knowing people communicate with the Force through meaningless bacterias we never see.
