But Attack of the Clones beets it with possibly the most exciting action sequence ever and far far better effects. Van Helsing is a dumb action movie. It is basically an effects show. Its dumb, its weird, but it is also very very fun. I enjoyed Van Helsing.

Or that it isn't verywell told.
But that isn't me. I just think some of the dialogue--especially the one-liners--in Attack of the Clones is incredibly annoying, and the fireplace scene was horrible. And some of the shots of Coruscant look fake, especcially durning the chase scene.

I agree with you,
He was too young for the adult audience that waited many years for the phantom menace.
I was like at the cinemas and watching the end when i heard this young kid say"UH OH" when destroying a starship.
I thought i had walked into the wrong movie?????
Why didnt Lucas play more on the actual"phantom" in Phantom menace.
When you think about it there was no menace.
Sceens in the mos eisley space bar could have been played,Where the sith is battling it out in the bar and displaying his full combat skills.
More enphasis could have been played on the use of the force itself,The film starts ass if it is half way through the trilogy?
Also more hand to hand combat,We have already been witness to incredable effects in the other films so why not have tried to come up with a new concept and more solid storyline.

Natalie Portman can act?
(After falling out of a transport and rolling down a sand dune)
Clone Trooper: "Are you alright?"
Padme (perfectly fine): "Yes."
The above scene was so bad that they edited it out for the DVD release and replaced it with a better acted scene. So, a) Natalie Portman is a crappy actress and b) ATOC had crappy editors.
No such thing as too much CGI? How about when you feel like you're watching a cartoon because everything in the shot looks fake and cheesy? Digital ships better than model ships? Every single ship in the OT looked infinitely better than every ship in PT, in my opinion. Maybe REALLY shiney fake looking cartoon ships look better to you than model ships that are actually real. I guess that's just you...
GL really does use CGI in order to be lazy. They could make models and have ships that look real, or they could take a short cut and use CGI. CGI was used. They could have actually shot a battle scene instead of making a battle scene completely out of CGI, again having the feel of a cartoon and looking and feeling really cheesy and obviously fake. CGI was used. So, is there really no such thing as too much CGI? When models looks better and more realistic and there is no real reason to use CGI except for laziness and ego, should CGI be used instead? Or go for something that looks better? If there is no such thing as too much CGI how come every movie isn't all CGI?
Your words:
"Van Helsing is a dumb action movie. It is basically an effects show." Does that mean it had too much CGI...?

hey i am in the same boat ok. i like the prequels. and luke there is no way with a strait face you can tell met hat the ship in the OT looked better then the ships in the PT cus it is simplally not true. that would mean that we have gone backward in the 1970s and if that iw waht you are saying then... i am speechless and have lost some respect for you today.

Anakin was too creepy for my tastes. I think Hayden Christensen was trying to hard to foreshadow evil with his character. I mean, all the publicity photos and posters for Ep. II show him holding his lightsaber in front of him with eyes narrowed to slits. What happened to 'the good man who was your father'?

Shimraa, I definitely think the OT ships look better than the new ones. It doesn't mean we've gone back to the 70's, were real life models in some way inferior to real life models today? Do we have some super space-age paint and decals to decorate them with now or something? The new trilogy ones I'm thinking of truley look worse to me than ships from the OT because the new ones are CGI and look fake. not to mention have less detail, and also their design is far less appealing in my eyes. You shouldn't condescend people by saying you have lost respect for them for what they think. I could say the same about you right now, and with better reason than just because you like a different appeal, but I won't coz we all make mistakes

He was suppose to be creepy. Thats what I like about his preformance and I thought he has talent. He better considering what he was able to do. His Anakin was one who acted childish and horny. While I can blame him for being horny many people have critized the childish behavior as bad acting. I disagree he purposefully acted childish to show how such behavior can lead to disaster. Attack of the Clones has such a deep story. It baros elements from shackspeare, the fall of Rome, and a bit of Tolkien to create a truely mastered work of story. That combined with extremely exciting action and state of the art effects equal a truely great cinematic experiance.

Or a Lamba shuttle next to the Naboo queen's shuttle?
And speaking of going back in time for effects, has anyone here seen "Flight Of The Navigator"? From 1986!! Because they have the EXACT same shiny effect for a ship...
jimbo, I'd argue with you, but I honestly think you are on your own little planet deep in the galaxy somewhere...

they dont look better in terms of artistic design but they look realier. the design is cool but they are different ships. also i am talking about the ships in the originals the ones that were done in the OT not the digitally remastered CG Ships in the SE.
and yes i can argue that the naboo ships look better then some of the OT ships. they really do look better then some of the ships in ROTJ. the mini-SDs in AOTC look better then the SDs in the OT. the insecct people in AOTCs looked better then the ewokes. you may also say that the ship looks stupid cus its shiny and it looks fake, you have to understand the naboo ships you see are Royal transport ships so obviously they are going to look fancy. you think they look cartoony cus there hulls are very shiny. but think of it this way, in the SW universe ships are like Cars, in really life really rich people have very shiny cars. so why wouldnt the poeple in SW have very shiny ships is it so hard to believe, also we are talking a time when the galaxy is in the golden age in the PT where as in the OT there is an imperial power in place there is fear across the galaxy. and you arnt seeing the coolest looking ships in th galaxy your seeing the best ships in terms of ability. cus on one side you have an under-buget rebellion that can t go on looks they need what is good and cheap and on the other side a millitary power, that wouldn't will not use shiny ships.
the clone drop ships and the ships with the 2 big wheels that fire hundreds of missles look alot better then the ATATs and those troopers on bikes.

And yes, the ships in the ORIGINAL original trilogy looks way better than anything in the PTs. The PTs are obviously fake and digital. The REAL models look like REAL ships because they are just that...REAL.
In my opinion, almost nothing in the PTs look real. Probably because almost nothing in the PTs is real...they set records for most use of CGI. I can't stand watching them because to me, everything looks so cheesy and fake and obviously computer generated.
Maybe to you and guys like jimbo, everything about the PTs is "so cool" and "awesome", but I can't stand any of it. The battle scenes were cheesy and lame, the ships looked cartoonish, and the feel was COMPLETELY differant than the originals, which makes it seem like the PTs were made by someone other than GL. Everything about the PTs rubs me the wrong way. They try and mix in way too much humor with unfunny actors so it sounds cheesy and forced, they're always seemingly shooting for kiddy appeal and lowest common denominator stuff. I mean, it seems like GL made Star Wars for preteens and no one older. To me, the PTs are kids movies. I'm in my 20s which may not be very old, but for myself, all my friends, and all of our parents, we can't stand the PTs. We grew up with the OTs and we know them well. So, when the PTs came along and were SO differant, and really cheesy and kiddy in comparison, it turned us right off. I can see why a kid who's like, 14 might love the PTs, but I hate them.
This forum was created so jimbo can rant and rave about how awesome ATOC was and how he thinks it's better than any of the OTs, and I can't resist arguing, because I feel so strongly against the PTs. I've seen each only twice and can't stand watching them any more than that. Everything about them makes me cringe. If you feel differantly, good for you. Personally, I hate the stupid things.
