Thank you George Lucas for further alienating the most loyal fans in film history, the Star Wars generation. Fuck you very much, hack, and fuck you for ripping of Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, Flash Gordon serials, WWII dogfight footage, and Joseph Campbell's writings.
Fuck you for only making two original movies, THX-138 and American Graffiti.
You sir, are awful.
To commemorate the blu-ray release of The Star Wars Trilogies, I give you this great review. This will be the most you ever enjoy The Phantom Menace, if your tastes don't completely suck.

Nope, not a bit, but I love this brilliant review.

I wasn't quite as offended by phantom menace as I was when I watched that abortion of a film that is the 4th installment in the Indiana Jones series. Man, that 4th Indiana Jones was pure crap. I don't even want to acknowledge that the movie exists. To me, now and forever, Indiana Jones is only a trilogy.

Time to show my ignorance. I havn't seen Schindler's List, Amistad, or Saving Private Ryan. I need to watch all those movies, but.....
The last two movies that I watched that were Spielberg products were Jurrasic Park and The Flintstones (he produced that one, but whatever). I just gave up on the man on the spot. Should have seen the writing on the wall. Like dominoes, first Spielberg then Lucas, and abortions flowed out onto the silver screen.
That's the long way of saying that I have watched "1941" and "Jaws" but not "Indy and the Magic Glass E.T. Skull".

well, to be fair, Speilberg has put out more good stuff than bad so I have to give the man credit for that. I have quite a few Spielberg movies in my collection that I consider classics so I have respect for his work, but at the same time I think his creative energies have greatly regressed from his younger days to the point where if I hear he's associated with a project I have an initial thought that the specfic project is going to suck. So while I like a lot of his stuff, the man has lost a great deal of my respect. Some guy's got 'Favre syndrome' where they are at the top of their game, but maybe age, underachieving, or just being downright lazy affect one's overall legacy.

As far as I'm concerned George Lucas died shortly after Return of the Jedi was released and no other movies were ever made in the star wars series.

As a Star Wars fan I must be considered a blasphemer because I really liked the Phantom Menace and actually like the new trilogy better then the old ones.

You're certainly welcome to that view but I have to vehemently disagree. Sure, the effects are more shiny but that's about it. The story is weak, chaotic and poorly told, it's almost like he threw it together in a weekend. The characters are shallow at best and ridiculous in many cases. It's one of the few times where you see prequels actually add plot holes rather than close them, I mean, the whole line with young Anikin is so fubar I can't even articulate everything wrong.

Iwant to say that I suck and failed as a human being at the age of eight when I saw E.T. on the big screen, and was bored. I'll have to watch it again, as well as Close Encounters of the Third Kind, gotta do my homework (DISCLOSURE!).
So I'm confused, what is this prequel you gentlemen are discussing? I read on the internets that a great man, George Lucas, passed tragically in the early eighties, RIP. The internets never lie.

Sadly, he was replaced by a doppleganger in an attempt by Al'Qaeda to undermine American faith in our heroes.

I thought episode 3 was the best of the new trilogy, but they were nothing compared to the originals.

My favorite Star Wars movies: V, IV, VI.
Followed by the imposter of the great (RIP) creator's Episode III, II, and I. I feel dirty....
Watch the above reviews, and thank you Daniel old pal.
