REVENGE OF THE SITH!!!!! (the only amazing prequel)!

________

& ROFL ROFL ROFL @ peopel bashing star wars prequels massively

for our generation they are GREAT films!

Star Wars RULES

there won't ever be & never was before it a phenomenon like it!

im 21 and I can safely say that the new trilogy is nothing compared to the original films

So what, who are to say what we can or cannot like? I don't like you saying I'm "kidding"

I'm sorry, but a bad movie is a bad movie.  That doesn't mean you can't like them, but episodes I-III just aren't good.  The *only* reason those are even remembered is because episodes IV-VI are so good.  If Episode I-III were released today or in 1980 and you asked someone what Star Wars was, they probably would have no clue what you're talking about.  They would be those obscure movies that movie geeks fantasize about and gush over because they know about it and you don't.

The Phantom Menace is just awful and luckily I think they realized how awful that movie was and episodes II and III were at least better, but that really isn't saying much.

Revenge of the Sith was just a bunch of crap happening at once and a giganticly long fight scene that ended in the dumbest way possible with a couple of horrible references to marquee characters from IV-VI (Chewy, really?).  Oh, and Padme dying of a broken heart.

Again, if released today, those movies would be remembered about as well as The Peacemaker.

Of course, at least episodes I-III aren't nearly as bad as the terrible idea of making Greedo shoot first and the blasphemous ending of Return of the Jedi.

Damn straight!

The one with Vin Diesel.

Seriously I've only watched the original one. I didn't care for it much to see the 5 billion sequels so I guess it wins by default.

BTW that review Twesterm posted is one of the most funny reviews I've seen. I've watched it 3 times now since I've first saw it last month and I didn't even see that Star Wars movie. I will pay good money to see the guy do the same review on MGS4

Revenge of the Sith closed the story prefectly, and had everything I was looking forward to when I entered the cinema. Gets my pick

Jar Jar Binks is the best thing that happened to Star Wars, Phantom Menace gets my vote.

Twesterm - that review had a lot right, though it was damn hard to get through his annoying voice and really stupid "I'm a phsycho" jokes.

How are people honestly saying "Revenge of the Sith" was their favourite movie!? Are you that easily impressed by exploding CGI?



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

yes.

I just can't help laughing when I see how badly unrealistic most of the effects in the original movies (or any sci-fi movie from this period) are. For better or for worse, this takes away from my ability to be pulled into the movie by constantly shoving the fact that it is just a movie into my face (something I don't get so much with III and not at all with newer films like Avatar).

However, that being said, I like it the best by a very small margin. IV was great ("yes, I bet you have...". BLAM ) and V was pretty good though it had a few scenes that I didn't like. VI was just weird except for the scenes with Luke and Vader and the Emperor (I fucking hate Ackbar and his monkey sidekick and those godd*mn fuzzy teddy bear ewoks). I and II are also ass because they have no story (that review twesterm posted was awesome) and their special effects are even worse than the ones in the 80s movies. At least those look real (because they are real) even if they fall laughably short of accurately protraying what they are supposed to be, unlike the ass CGI in those movies that doesn't even look real at all let alone like what it is supposed to be.

I do concede that III's story wasn't very good and the dialogue was just terrible, but the decent CGI makes up for it in my graphics-whore eyes.



Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it

Revenge of the sith. The battle at the beginning blew away my mind.

Wow.. I voted for Empire Strikes Back but didn't know I'd be in the majority.

 

Well, the OP said favoute which is purely subjective.  However, I presume that many voters, like myself, are influenced by the films judgeable strengths, so the result is in line with general critical opinion.

I can understand someone ROTJ or ROTS or even Phantom Menace as their favourite, but on a less opinionated basis, Empire is clearly superior (much as I hate to use that term as) in terms of script quality, consistency of acting, cinematography, etc.

It also sits poised where the world created felt genuinely interesting and unkown and capable of suprising you, with settings such as Cloud City or the battle on Hoth, before everything turned generic, with ROTJ featuring essentially places we'd been before or genuinely boring settings like Earth (I mean Endor).  ROTS of the prequels, while flawed horribly in some areas, probably managed the best of in terms of capturing elements of what stood out in A  New Hope and particularly Empire.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...

After watching those videos that Twesterm posted, I will never think of Star Wars Episode I the same way again.



rocketpig on 20 January 2010

Empire as an entire movie but my favorite Star Wars moments are the Death Star scenes from RotJ. That battle still holds up as one of the greatest aerial fights ever filmed, even 27 years later.

And this is really old but I still watch it and laugh. The end of Revenge of the Sith was so bloody stupid:
