I want my money back from the 04 DVDs and the prequels tickets.

I didn't buy any of the prequels except see them in the theaters and I'm still waiting for Lucas to send me back my money of those movies with an apology. I bought the 04 DVDS because I didn't expect them to be as bad as people said, they were that bad!

All you want is attention.

i agree with you.

I think we should all get paid compensation for having to sit through Hayden Christensen's performances as Anakin. How in god's name could Lucas cast that guy as Anakin? I suppose it comes from the same mindset as brought about the Jabba's palace revised musical number and the 1997 cutsey cgi Jabba. 

i liked the cgi jabba and the jabbas palace dance scene. it gave it a more, i'm not watching puppets, feel. anyways, the guy is banned and thanks for that! i guess he could sign up as a different person though.

I'd rather watch realistic puppets than watch unconvincing cartoonish cgi.

i'm sorry, but puppets look to fake in a movie. the only puppet i liked in any of the star wars movies was yoda. they actually took time on him to make him look real and not a puppet and easily excepted.

The OT's puppets did not look fake. Whereas the SE and PT's cgi did look fake. The fakeness of the SE's awful cgi is an important part of what makes the SE unacceptable. You can't believe in those cgi creatures, whereas the puppets are believable. The puppets have a physical reality, whereas the cgi is just computer animation. I don't come to Star Wars to watch animation.

Good Luck on that! Lol. Seriously though I too wish i could get my money back for Indiana Jones IV. The critics in entertainment weekly gave it 3 out of 4 stars on their rating scale 4 of course being the highest. It is the critics job to tell you how awful a movie is. In the past they had lied about how great Revenge of the Sith was as well.

"Lied"? "How awful a movie is"? You do know that art is subjective, right? Are you saying the critics are wrong for not sharing your opinion?

Art is subjective, but only up to a point. Some stuff is just crap. Such as Revenge of the Shit and Attack of the Clones. I was horrified when a bunch of critics decided Revenge was the best of the prequels and that it was not that bad (or was even good -wtf?!). But then critics often come out with dumb opinions. I certainly never trust the critics' views on films. Still, calling Revenge anything but crap is seriously inflammatory. At least a lot of critics seemed to agree that Hayden's performance was crap. He even got Razzies (one for Revenge, one for Clones). Awards being awarded right, for a change.  

I wouldn't give Indy IV 3 out of 4 stars, no way, but I didn't hate it either. I loved seeing Ford back in the role, he's great, and I like Shia LaBeouf and I think he made a good son for Indy. The film lacked spirit and force, though. It lacked the strength of earlier Indy films. And it had this awful washed-out visual look that was suspiciously prequelish.

And what was all that interdimensional alien nonsense, anyway? The big climactic alien encounter and its aftermath were so anticlimactic and useless. If you want to do aliens, ok, do aliens if you have to, but do them right and don't give us a whole load of showy nonsense. I did like the prarie dogs, though, I thought they were cute and funny-looking. Could have done without Ray Winstone's hyper-annoying character, though.

LOL, and CG doesn't?

 

C'mon man....This guy did look a little ridiculous...Bendy nose an' all.

 

Max Rebo looked ridiculous in the sense that he was a blue elephant, but he looked convincing enough as a live blue elephant.

I actually have the prequels on dvd. Even though I think Clones and Revenge are two of the crappiest films ever made. I periodically feel the need to study them to dissect their awfulness, to figure out how they manage to be quite so bad. They're just so awful they have to be studied. I kept renting them out, because I didn't want to own a copy, and the rental copies were in bad condition half the time, so I realized eventually that I needed my own copies. So, to my shame, I got my own copies.

Phantom Menace I actually sort of like. I think it totally fails as a Star Wars movie and insults the franchise, but I think it has its own merits nonetheless, such as Liam Neeson's performance. It's a much more genuine heartfelt film than the other two prequels, even if it's shallow compared to the real Star Wars films.

Basically, the prequels get worse with each new film. Phantom Menace was a big drop from the real Star Wars, Clones was a huge drop from Phantom Menace (I remember being seriously disappointed when I first saw it, because I'd expected something on the level of Phantom Menace and what I saw made Phantom Menace look genius by comparison), and Revenge is a major drop from Clones and a serious contender for Crappiest Film of All Time.

i know they're crappy, but i still like to watch them.

I don't care I liked ROTS, Attack of the Clones is not that bad, 6 out of 10 just on the account of seeing the jedi in battle. I most certainly think that you need to just stop watching them because your negativity is just bumming me out. I'm just a glass half full kinda guy, especially when it comes to star wars. Now Alien vs. Predator is a whole nother story.....

 

The Jedi in battle in Clones is one of the worst things about the film. It was done so lamely and it was so uninvolving. Really bad filmmaking. I'm sorry my "negativity" is bumming you out, but if a person can't be against the prequels on this site of all sites where can it be done? There really is no call to be "glass half full" about Star wars, not with all the damage that has been done. There are serious problems that need to be addressed.

i'm not saying you should like them. i was merely stating that i like them anyways. noting can beat the OT however.
