You prequel-lover-haters have no argument against the prequels

Someone asked me in the "sick of prequel bashing" thread why I think the prequels are good films. Here is why: they are just as moving and fun, if not more so, than the Original trilogy.

Also you trolls basically proved how reasonable you were by trolling in the first place, lol, nice job at having a convincing argument.

I also find it funny that all the trolling the pt-haters did did not get the topic locked but my purely defensive remarks did. Talk about biased. Nice job, moderators.

I would be interested in learning in what ways you think Clones and Wars are alike.  

Seriously, can any moderator tell me why the topic got locked not soon after everybody started trolling me, but when I (a prequel-lover, what a coincidence), started trolling them? Really?

so boring, juvenile, and outdated. please jj hurry up with those sequels, so we have something new to bash.

In my observation, forums are full of double standards. Having a discussion that's not EU-inclusive on TFN seems to be a bannable offense, for example.

 I would be interested in hearing all of the reasons why you think the prequels are just as moving and as fun, if not more so, than the Original Trilogy.  Please list your reasons so we can discuss them.

I agree that the thread should not get locked. It was the most fun thread at the moment.

For God's sake, that doesn't make them good films.  That makes them films that you enjoy.  There are plenty of movies that I love which I know are straight up bad films.  That doesn't ruin my enjoyment of them.  There are black and white reasons why these films don't work as an effective narrative and creating another thread only makes your ability to argue look weak.  Stop (or leave) before you make yourself look worse.

Can't wait for this lock!

I am sorry but there is no such thing as universally good or bad film. An estimation of a film is completely subjective and based on individual opinion. There is no objective measure according to which one could estimate the quality of the film. It not a science where you have a clear definition what a voltage is and then you can compare two voltages measured in volts and say this one is higher... All you can do with film is generalise multiple opinions (IMDb, Oscars, etc.) which is in the end just as subjective as an individual opinion.

 I guess you haven't seen any recent Adam Sandler films.

 He already did that in the other thread.

-The plot is great

-The characters are great

-The writing is great

-The acting is great

-The CGI is great

-The action is great

I'm sure there was more, but I think I need to go to the hospital now.

I agree that there is a grey area when comparing many films, but there are both subjective and objective ways to critique film.  I'm heading out of those house but I'll be back if you wanna talk more about it.
