Oh and to put the "Kiddie vs serious" thing in more context... I'll put it this way.

I LOVE the original TMNT show.

I NEVER saw Shredder, Bebop, Rocksteady or the others as threats.

Nor did the show every try and portray them as threats... because they were lame.  You ALWAYS knew the turtles were going to win.

 

The later TMNT show's aren't bad either...  the Shredder in those shows is MUCH more serious... because they want to make him a threat.


If you ever watch the crossover between the two shows it really shows the difference, and it shows how stupid it would be if goofy shredder was the evil mastermind destroying reality.  Nobody would buy it.


It'd be like if you based an entire movie on the 3 stooges trying to conquerer the galaxy.

Why the fuck should I be worried?  It's the 3 stooges.   All it would take is some half competant people to stop them.

It was well below average from what i'd expect from a movie... and weirdly tried to combine "kids stuff" with "galactic political intrigue".

Which meant you had half your audience bored at any time.

Lots of dumb plot holes.... including ones they open up in future movies.

Like why doesn't Obi-Won remember the droids.

 

At least the story was somewhat coherent though... and that was basically it.

Please, PLEASE, watch all 7 parts.  It is long all considered, but it will really, REALLY, make you reconsider that "somewhat coherent" bit. Starts slow, but it is both hilarious and unbelievable.

There are even some parts that show Lucas while making the movie, relaly telling about how bad the fail was. 


By somewhat coherent I meant I understood what was going on from scene to scene... not that the story made sense.

 

Still, it's hilarious. I recommend to everyone lol

Such an awful movie.  It's just a giant mess with character you don't care about for a variety of reasons, a plot that doesn't make any sense, and just too much going on.

Also, excessive use of the word whoopee.

I am wondering why you never cared about any characters?

Did you not feel sad when Qui gon died?

God no, Qui Gon was possibly one of the worst Jedi's in existance.  He was either doing incredibly stupid things like blindly walking into traps, setting up horribly convulated deals and taking advantage of people using his Jedi powers, or just plain being, well, stupid.

And just because it only speaks the truth:

You speak the truth.

And darth what about the star wars holiday special?

8/10

The movie showed a larger more complex universe.  It had its flaws like any other star wars movie.  Jar Jar is a flawed character because there is no growth in him.  He started annoying and ended the same way, no redeemable quality, at least none easily perceived. Anakin is not a bad character, it's just that the acting was not convincing and it was hard for the audience to see how special he was.  Other than that it was a good movie.

It's funny that you're constantly breaking the rules in your own thread, should I report you or do you want to report yourself?

Send all report's to kantor or darthdevidem01's wall! They come to a mutual decision on such incidents.
