I’d cherry-pick what many have already said in here about the Plinkett Reviews: 80-90% of the criticism is still valid, there are many funny points made, it articulated many of the large problems many fans had with the films rather than nitpicks, and the whole trilogy massive logic holes. And it resonated with many people as it was probably the first popular video or article to put all these fan criticisms and issues together in one place, along with even more attuned insights and views from Mike.
Someone on here posted recently about the Star Trek tactical guy appearing in Plinkett’s TPM review and the ST guy “calling out” the entire bizarre battle plan, and the “without the Viceroy they will be lost lost and confused” line. It is still valid, and still makes me laugh when you watch it or it gets referenced, even this many years later.
If I was asked to suggest a comprehensive review for the Prequel Trilogy for a new fan, then I’d still recommend this.

I think the critisism and breakdown of the films are still really rock solid. The whole “describe a character” section is absolutely great, and shows why the film doesn’t work. Largely TPM has no protagonist and that’s one of its biggest flaws. Plinkett/Mike was able to articulate why he didn’t like it, and it largely resonated with people beacuse it put in to words how they felt about it.
Those are pretty much my thoughts on these Prequel reviews for me as well.
