You’re not a true fan unless you’ve watched it all the way through, and you must be sober. 😉

I have many times in the past while sober

Lemme guess: all your drunken hours are spent devising great new threads for this chat bored.

Are The Prequels That Bad?

No, they are awesome action packed rollercoasters, but not much more: they show that George isn’t that good as writer and a director.
I mean, the battles, the visuals -amazing. But the inter-personal actor stuff: cringing.
Up to a point where they do live up to the cheesy 30’s serials he is always on about:
E1 was basically cliffhanger to cliffhanger without any plot and E2 & E3 had cringy dialogues and acting

But they lacked something. Good dialogues and proper acting?
He should have Larry Kasdan co-write the scripts and have someone else direct the actors.
Like he did with ESB and ROTJ

This is what I meant.

I myself disliked the prequels. But, recently I rewatched them and looked at them in a new light. I understand that the acting, script, some of the characters, and plot points are pretty terrible, however, if you try to look past all the issues and mistakes, you realize that they aren’t too terrible. I have friends who actually like them. what do you think?
