If you love the original Star Wars trilogy, and know that the last three films were the most disappointing piles of warmed over dog squeeze ever slung onto a movie screen, you'll love these.
However;
The narrator said:
If you're someone who's under the age of, like, twenty, who says his least favorite film in the series is The Empire Strikes Back, because it was "the most boring-est one," then I suggest you shut this review off right now, before I carefully explain how much of a berkeleying idiot you are.
NSFW language. Enjoy.

Describe... Queen Amidala: "Umm... She's.... Monotone?"
I'm going to say he didn't like it...
Great analysis I have to say and I totally agree. As a quick summary.. the prequel movies are total ClFk's under any kind of minor analysis and that Lucas created Star Wars and he is also the worst thing about Star Wars.

I watched (part of) Phantom Menace with my nephews last week. I wanted to poke my own eyes out, but not before stabbing out my ear drums. What a monumentally horrible movie.
His star trek reviews are dead on as well, especially the bits about Picard becoming a trigger happy psychopath in the movies compared to the morally grounded intellectual he is in the series.
Sadly, most of the new scifi movies fall apart if you pay any attention to whats going on. Crap character development, ridiculous side stories that add nothing to the main plot (i.e. the parents in transformers), villains that go to great lengths to perform rather simple tasks, villians that are only motivated by some need to be a jerk (i.e. transformers 2. A highly advanced civilization capable of space flight needs to destroy one of the only other inhabited planets in the galaxy so they can use an old machine that's here for some reason. Why don't they just make another one somewhere else?), incredibly powerful weapons and technology that go completely underutilized (i.e. the "hot chick" transformer. If they can look like people why wouldn't they all just do that? She was obviously capable of killing Sam at a moments notice, why did she need to seduce him first. She obviously had no need to be secretive seeing as how she destroys half the school trying to kill him once he escapes), completely pointless enemies (i.e. the motorcycle terminators. First off, other terminator robots can fly, why would you need anything else?. Why would you make a weapon designed to operate at high speeds on a smooth surface to pick up humans who generally travel by foot through rough terrain?)
I could go on but other people are more bored and much better writers...
Ever notice how the old terminator could take a beating and keep on ticking but the newer the movie gets the less they can take.
Sorta like how easy it is to run a stake through a Vampire, damn things must be made of devil's food cake.
I would like the second half of Aussies post in print please.
