The opening scene is fantastic! The flying cars were somewhat clunky, though.

Jango Fett!!!! Obi-Wan!!!

What are the biggest complaints about Ep 2 besides Anakin hating sand?


There are plenty. The story in that timeline is great but Lucas decided to skip most of the points that make it understandable. Like who is Sifo-Dyas and why did he commission the clone army. Who is Count Dooku for that matter, right?

Then there is Christenson and his acting.

When Palpatine is orchestrating a truly masterful plot it just comes off as unintriguing political intrigue.

It's The Departed compared to TLJ, though.

I guess we have different definitions of cool.

It's embarrassing what AotC did with Obi-Wan.

Holy shite guys I hated TLJ but are y'all really pretending like that POS attack of the clones was better?

Yes.

It’s difficult for me to put into words just how bad TLJ is as a movie.

It’s like a rabid werewolf that shits hot lava onto children.

This is good. Jeremy Jahns, my go-to YouTube critic, released his review and he was clearly pissed off by the whole movie:

With 73 reviews in this thing isn't going to crack 60.

and pretty much bashed the whole trilogy while he was at it




Dan Murrell hated it as well and John Campea didn't like it either.

This is just stunning. Wow.

This may end up rated lower than The Phantom Menace.

Bit TLJ was rated high by critics and terrible by fans. Will TROS be the opposite?

Doubtful. Many of the die hards have read the spoilers and know the entire plot to the movie, myself included, and absolutely hate the road they went down.

The whole third act destroys the first six films of the saga and marks them as wholly unnecessary.

I agree. I’m in the same boat as you and them.

The die hards aren't reading fricking spoilers.

Fake Star Wars fans who whine about their Muh Ruined Childhood are reading the spoilers so they have something new to whine about.

99 reviews in, and it's at 62%.

Good call.

It is what it is. Maybe I just outgrew the franchise because I was nowhere near as passionate about the ST as I was the PT and the OT.

They were both bad for different reasons.

AOTC tried to be a love story/mystery, and was cheesy on both accounts. Arena scene with all the Jedi was bad arse, though.

TLJ was made by a guy that either didn't understand Star Wars, or hated it. Imperial guard fight was cool, though

Agreed. But I think it was made worse by the poor casting of Anakin. Hayden Christensen is a terrible actor and really went out of his way to show us just how poor he was at his craft in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It's also very clear that Lucas doesn't understand why or how people fall in love.

I thought so at first, too. It was only after repeat viewings of this scene that I began to notice just how piss poor the choreography was.
