Roger Ebert said it was better than Gladiator. One of my local newspapers gave Kingdom 4 stars out of 4, the local newspaper gave it 2.5 stars out of 4. The critics are in disagreement over this film.

I don't think thats it better than Gladiator, but I do think Kingdom was a good movie. Yahoo has averages of both the rating of critics and regular folks. Both groups gave Kingdom a "B". I agree with this.

maybe I used the wrong words. I should have asked: Why do most people who like the SE and have no problem with Lucas refusing to put the OOT on DVD, love the PT?

What changes are you talking about? Lucas hasn't done an SE PT, yet. If you are referring to the changes SE, the way you worded your statement is incorrect.

Actually the most brutal part of the dictatorship happened from 1969, when everyone lost their political freedom and rights and people got killed or banished, to 1978-1979 when these impositions ended. We only got democratic back in 1985 whe the last militar dictator steped out. The US involvment is fully documented, with memos by the secret service, the CIA and even from Lyndon Jonhson and Nixon about that subject. They fully supported these military coups on all over south america, mostly in Brazil, Argentina and Chile. There were several agents over here during this period, who had meetings with the military authorities, financed the coup and trainned our troops, also providing with inteligence information. There was a fear from the US that south america could've become "comunist", although such claim is absolutely insane. My former highschool teacher had a university professor who gave this lecture about our current situation and since he couldn't actually say anything, he used a "Captain America" cartoon edited and made some comments in between... The next day some agents stepped in the middle of his class, got him, and no one ever knew about him anymore. You couldn't walk on the street with more than 3 persons with you, as that would be considered an illegal assembling and you would be captured and tortured so you confessed where the "communists are". Books, songs, movies and plays were censored or forbidden. Things got so insane you couldn't buy books with red covers, because it was considered "communist" propaganda. Students who rebelled against it just "dissapeared" (got tortured and killed) and you couldn't say anything at all or else you would be next... Those were horrible days who I wish will NEVER happen again.


My god. That is a disgrace. Horrible. The people that were involved in this dictatorship should be excuted.

I can't believe the US supported these bastards. Sickening. Sorry this happened to your country Ric. I had no idea.

I had no idea this was going on in your country. I can't even begin to imagine how horrible that era for your country must have been. Sorry to hear of it. I hope you're wrong about the involvement of the US gov't. That is against everything USA stands for. I hope things are going better for your country now.

I have much better grammer than Shim.

As for the "phenonomenon": I don't know, all I can say is that when I first saw eps 1 and 2 I tried to keep an open mind, I wanted to like them but I just couldn't. They are bad movies(imho). As for why OOT lovers hate the PT(and remember critics panned ep 1 and 2 as well), most OOT lovers were childen when OOT came out. This means that most are 30 or older. The PT (imho) panders to the younger generations(Jar Jar, fart jokes, CGI). So it should not really be a surprise that OOT lovers would not like the PT as much as the younger generations.

Another reason: maybe OOT lovers have good taste and can detect bad movies when they see them. And maybe their judgment is no longer clouded by a worship of Lucas.


Care to explain another "phenonomenon"? Why do most SE lovers love the PT? It works both ways.

The OOT films are not just a bunch of "fun action flicks" they are so much more. If you grew up with the OOT, you'd know that. And eps 1 and 2 are so much less than "a couple of fun action flicks".

one last thing: Star Wars should not be defiled by the likes of Jar Jar.

So that's what happened to my gun! How dare you steal my gun! And it is not "a stolen WarbSP" its "The stolen WarbSP(tm)" there is only one! And I am the only one allowed to use it!! You'll pay for this!!!

*takes the WarbSP(tm) back, beats Chaltab in the head with the butt end of the gun(repeatedly), and then shoots Chaltab in the right foot*

atleast your feet match now!



Another bad movie idea: Star Trek V

Shim, if cursing breaks Chaltab apart, then do it by all means.
