Even though I hate this movie as much as the next guy, it would take a jedi mind trick for me to watch 70 minutes of some douche complain about it.

I only watched the first part but it was pretty damn entertaining. It's put together with a lot more technical skill and creativity then I might have expected.

I'm not really much of a Star Wars fan, but I found this very entertaining. He makes a lot of great points which I agree with - probably even more if I was more knowledgable about the whole Star Wars universe.

This guy is a dumbass just like Confused Matthew. I grew with up with the OT and can barely get through them now except Empire (of course the best). I love the prequels, but they're unjustly treated like garbage.

If he was a true Star Wars fan he would have made the review nine parts.

I can't stand Confused Matthew. I saw his video for Stupid Voyager Episodes, which admittedly was pretty good, but the rest of his reviews are garbage. He's way too pretentious and in love with the sound of his own voice.

That was great in part one when they were having people describe the characters from the orginal and the new ones.

Saw these last week. They were definitely worth the ~65 minute investment to watch.

I really didn't get it. Wasn't a fan of the Buffalo Bill-like narration and couldn't really laugh at it. Does it get funnier?

This looks like it might be really fun but who can stand listening to his guys voice.
It reminds me of when George had the risk management textbook on tape.

Re: Epic Star Wars : The Phantom Menance review in 7 parts
I have only watched part 7 as that kinda sums up the whole movie and what went wrong, and I pretty much agree with him on most points.
The most interesting thing (I still can't believe Lucas allowed this to be released on the Episode I Documentary DVD) was all them watching the first rough cut, and the look of shock on their faces after the film was done.
Rick McCallum looked like a zombie thinking, "This is it???" Ben Burtt was the only one challenging Lucas, as he was the only one left from the Original Trilogy who was Lucas's age.
Lucas says, "Boggles the mind...." referring to the ending, and where they can go from there. That pretty much sums up how I feel about Episode I and the Prequel Trilogy, it boggles the mind how they fuck up the movies THAT much.

Re: Epic Star Wars : The Phantom Menance review in 7 parts
This guy is a genius. Is that his real voice? I thought he was just acting because he's pretending to be an 80-year old dude.
I thought I hated the prequels, but now I really can't stand them. George Lucas is one of the worst directors ever. I would like to see Uwe Boll do a children's movie - it might be on the same level or even better than a Lucas film.
Well, kids like the new prequels, which is no big deal. After all, the Star Wars movies are all childrens movies.

Qualms about the presentation aside, it's a pretty good run-down of the numerous faults with the film. I hope he does the other parts of the trilogy.
