Say something nice about the Star Wars Prequel. If you can.

I like the way they boosted the fanedit industry (just like George Lucas used to fanedit movies using VCRs so he could learn directing and editing, others do the same thing to his movies.)
I like the way Magnoliafan's fanedit turned Jar Jar into a character that you still don't like, but actually works for everything that happens to him in the movie. Brilliant idea.
I like the way they support Darths and Droids' satirization of them, although most of the credit goes to the Darths and Droids crew - genius in motion.
I like the way Red Letter Media deconstructed the work, especially when they showed the filmmakers' own shocked reactions to seeing how their finished work failed their own expectations.
I like the way the prequels taught me not to rely on others to make great things happen, especially Hollywood. More money does not equal more better.

They kinda took that scene out of of context. And although I love his reviews, they are far from perfect.w00tage said:
They were brilliant adventures perfect for kids and adults to enjoy and featured brilliant effects and were pretty much amazing movies. Why does everyone hate them so much? (apart from attack of the clones that kinda sucked.)
Pretty much this, The casting was good (Christopher Lee!) but then fell over at teenage Anakin... :|Ordinaryundone said:
I don't really like the prequels as everything looks 'too fake' if that makes sense. Natalie Portman's makeup really annoyed me too. xD
Jar Jar Binks...well I hope you get to kill some of his species in TOR that's all I'm saying. >_>
Don't worry I'm sure even Supes would let you off this time.penguindude42 said:
Overall I think I can't really say anything about these films because I was forced to watch them over and over for a summer school thing my Uncle was running I swear I must have watched the first one 10 times in one month...
The soundtrack, that's pretty much the only unquestionably good thing about the movies.
As for anything else, well... not really.

The movies actually weren't all that bad when you look at them on a thread that doesn't consist entirely of people screaming about Jar-Jar, and Anakin, the politics and all these other terrible aspects. The lightsaber battles in the first two prequels were very well done, the characters were much more interesting, and even had some of the most badass villains that I know of, even if they mostly had the life-span of a goldfish. The Seperatist droids looked and sounded great, up until the third movie at least. And the story actually wasn't that bad, it was just horribly paced and involved Anakin bitching for ages before eventually realising that he only had about 45 minutes more to become Darth Vader and rushed the rest of it.
Ok, this will be easy.
-Liam Neeson
-Ewan MacGregor
-Christopher Lee
-Darth Maul is awesome
-The CGI is great in most parts
-The music
-The fight between Anikin and Obi-Wan in episode III is all kinds of epic
-The fight between Yoda and Palpatine is also all kinds of epic
I could list more but I think that's good enough for now. I actually didn't mind the prequels. While they are nowhere near as good as the original trilogy they were still watchable and I really liked Episode III.

The lightsaber fights, though I think they ultimately detracted from the films, when taken out of context looked pretty cool.
I actually like the prequels. The only things that annoy me are Anakin's whinging in Episode II and friggin Jar Jar in I. Episode III is my second favourite behind V. The lightsaber battles were really cool and Ewen McGregor did an amazing job as Obi Wan. I know people ***** about it being too political but how else do you think the Empire would have come about if not by politics?
And Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor were damn fine as well (even if Liam Neeson's talent was wasted).
