I'm not really into the movies at all and I've only watched the first part, but so far this is funny.

OMG I figured no way I could watch them all but they are great, this guy is totally owning how bad these prequels were.

Re: 70-Minute Star Wars Episode 1 review

Wow. 5 stars.

I had no intention of sitting through a 70 minute review, but this guy was hilarious. So many great parts. I didn't care too much for the random shootout with the cops ending, but overall this was awesome. I was laughing so hard I was almost crying during the 5th video when he starts trying to unravel the specifics of the pod race bet.

Like most people I've only seen this movie once and came out confused and upset. This review is excellent and exposes George Lucas as Hollywood's biggest luckbox.

Re: 70-Minute Star Wars Episode 1 review

I knew Ep 1 was awful (the other prequels weren't great, but they were way better than Ep 1) but never could articulate why.

The dull wooden characters was about as far as I could get.

I had never even thought about the fact that there was no main character, no real sense to the plot, including contradictorary elements in the plot every few minutues, etc.

The most amazing thing is he completely destroys the movie with almost no mention of Jar Jar, which was everyone's biggest complaint. In a way JarJar is just a distraction from how bad the movie really is.

I loved how he kept hammering Lucas saying the movie was for kids and then cut to scenes of kids watching the long, boring political dialog.

Two parts in and it's definitely not terrible. I've watched worse for sure.

3 is the best one yet. I'd watch that one if you're just gonna try one.
