Are we done pretending prequels are good movies?

>The romance was terrible the actors had zero chemistry
>Acting itself was bad
>Plot was bad
>Boring exposition scenes with monotone actors
They were pretty bad, people who defend them only do because of how it expanded the world of SW and because of NuWars

nope

I'll give you Jar Jar was cringe but the acting and hayden christensens delivery were deliberate functions on Lucas' part to give it a specific feel that was lost on most people that watched it and abandoned entirely once sold to Disney.

Jar Jar is perfect.

Pretty much this. Prequel fans have terribly low IQ.

There was nothing wrong with Hayden Christensen.
Very good non-verbal actor.

The prequels are good movies.

When will the Daisy bros leave this site?

>hayden christensen

He did perfectly fine in his previous work. The issue is that Anakin was written to be an unlikable and profoundly dysfunctional character. Hence why he ultimately succumbs to the fury and madness that had been growing within him since childhood.

>DUDE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO ACT BADLY
Can't make this shit up

How's he unlikeable, dude just wanted to stop losing people he loves.

Christensen didn't write the lines, George did.

Ultimately, "good acting" is ultimately up to the director. You're trying to fulfill HIS/HER vision of how the character should speak, stand, walk, and look. If they're dissatisfied with how you played it, they yell CUT and do a reshoot until you get it right.

Good or bad, you can't deny the prequels were entertaining either way

Why yes, I will help frame the only family I have ever known to take the fall for your power grab because you told me you could save my pregnant wife who I will now choke to death because she questioned my reasoning for this couse of action.

George is a terrible writer/director but an excellent "ideas man", he should have had others do more heavy lifting and challenge him more on decisions about characters/plot, would have made the prequels on par with the OT

They are. They helped fill up many plot holes, and well maybe created some others. Not briliant, but they certainly were good. Without them Darth Vader would've been the 'more machine than man' people thought he was. And don't start again with Hayden Christensen's acting. He did just fine, he was meant to prepresent mentaly unstable and suffering young man. He did just that. It's too bad people aren't more aware of that fact. He wouldn't have become Darth Vader if he didn't have all the problems and losses he had and went through.
CGI on the other hand was shit. But overall they're good films.

Arrogant, short-tempered, short-sighted, when he was forced to choose between his love and his duty, he tried doing both and wound up losing both.

You know those lines from Game of Thrones that "love is the death of duty" and "duty is the death of love"? The prequels are the embodiment of that. Except where Jon Snow chose his duty to the Realm, even if it would doom him to a lifetime of misery, Anakin in his selfishness chose his love and it had dire consequences for the Galaxy.

Hayden did amazing job, cope more

Hayden was directed badly, but he has some talent for non verbal acting and you can see it even with the direction. It's a real pity it wasn't realised properly

Based

>I will help frame the only family I have ever known to take the fall for your power grab
The Jedi were never a real family to Anakin, the only reason they gave a shit about him was their prophecy.

The Story of Star Wars is George Lucas changing his mind then proclaiming that his idea du jour was always his "original vision".
It started all the way back in the late 70's, but the Prequel Trilogy is its crescendo.

My understanding was George Lucas never intended for Darth Vader to be this badass that people actually looked up to over the actual heroes of the Saga, but a broken shell of a man that audiences were supposed to pity. His writing of the prequels was probably in part an attempt to rectify that audiences just didn't like it.

>CGI on the other hand was shit

The CGI was revolutionary for the time and even now it still holds up pretty well. Geonosis and Coruscant still hold the record for the largest ground and space battles ever shot entirely with CGI and they look fucking beautiful. Like a Napoleonic Wars painting come to life.

Hayden was fine and should have had a force ghost in RoS

He really shouldn't have marketed Vader and Anakin so much then.
The whole Chosen One aspect of the prequels, combined with culminating in Vader getting in the suit really torpedoed that if it was his intention.

RoS shouldn't have been made

He should have been a force ghost in all three sequels along with Obi-Wan. Anakin, Obi-Wan, C3P0, and R2-D2 are the only characters who appeared in all six of the original films, they were what linked and held the story together. And the mouseniggers decided to axe two of them because
"lol The Force is female"

>it still holds up pretty well
This has to be a troll, the CGI looks terrible and obviously fake. Also it was unnecessary 9/10, like making CGI Clone Troopers instead of just people in suits

>"lol The Force is female"
I never understood this, the force is just like the name says, a force of nature throughout the universe. It's no physical or sentient thing, so how can it have a gender?

I'll give you the space battle in 3 but the cgi in 2 was absolute garbage

I can't even determine what the "worst"
part" of the prequels is anymore. I just enjoy them too much as a whole.

Have sex

It's referring to a very ill advised marketing push during TFA's run.
Now admittedly it was a very small part of it for a girl's school, but they don't get to play that card when everything they do is aimed at making Rey look good

A kids film about a fucking trade dispute. "The war will be illegal if the mandate is not signed!" Only watched 20 minutes.

>A kids film about a fucking trade dispute
A Bug's Life

fpbp

>"Bro its kids film, so obviously it will have bad acting, characters, story and CGI"
>Cut to senate scene, politics and monotonous scenes of exposition

>This has to be a troll, the CGI looks terrible and obviously fake.

Really dude? You're going to say that the CGI looks terrible when they had to make every object from scratch and then painstakingly paint the correct light reflection on every last on of them for the shot, all using 2003-era computers?

>Also it was unnecessary 9/10, like making CGI Clone Troopers instead of just people in suits

The idea behind it was

A. The Clone Wars would be on a scale multitudes larger than anything done with the Originals, meaning that creating physical sets for all of them would problematic.

B. The Clone Army was supposed to be more disciplined than the Stormtroopers of the original trilogy since they were literally raised from birth to be soldiers. With on-set actors, you first have the problem of finding actors who would of the exact same height, weight and physique, so they would fit in matching costumes, and then getting them to march around in formation, aim and fire proper prop weapons all in the exact same fashion, all while wearing full-body suits that make seeing and moving vastly more difficult, when you have weeks, maybe even just a few days to get them ready for the shoot.

3 is kino, 1 and 2 are kind of shit but in a self aware campy (sincere) enough way that its alright

>Cut to senate scene, politics and monotonous scenes of exposition
Like Civil War?

They literally had entire scenes of just a handful of clones and they were CGi for whatever reason. It makes sense in large scale stuff, but not when they are literally next to real actors talking

>Also it was unnecessary 9/10, like making CGI Clone Troopers instead of just people in suits
But that would be more expensive

Frankly I'd find it more charming if it were obviously one actor doing a million takes copy pasted a million times.

It's shit too, but you're wrong.

He couldn't get anyone to help him. Spielberg was the one who told him to do it himself.

>It makes sense in large scale stuff, but not when they are literally next to real actors talking

Fair enough. They could have built a handful of actual suits and had Temura do one-on-one shots with them.

Partly, but Marvel tried to make civil war entertaining.

why do i have to pretend if they are good movies?

Stopped reading there because that's not true nor is it an argument

How am I wrong?

George said it himself, it's a movie for 12 y/o

>miss the entire point of the post because you're a retard
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you were merely pretending.

The prequels were on par with the original trilogy, and in many ways far superior

Excellent excuse to strike back at criticism at the quality of the film which is about politics and has someone cut in half

>Are we done pretending prequels are good movies?

Worse people are completely fucking done with Star Wars as a whole regardless of old or new
