Are people too critical of the new movies?

[Henz]

No they aren't. The are terribly constructed movies.

That was a rather unconvincing argument...

Well, im sort if with you. Il can't watch Episode 1, but Episode 3 have become my favorite SW movie.

 

Have thogh about watching all the movies in a row sometimes or in a short time like 2 says, but after i get to the first scene with Jar Jar Binks, il shut it down and continue with Episode 2^^

I suggest finding a "Fan's Edition" of TFM online. That version cuts out a few of those JarJar actions. You might like it. Actually you might even like JarJar more with that.

Part of the problem was expectations being impossible to fulfill, but the films seem poorly made, relying too much on special effects, and things such as Jar Jar and the heavy and dark nature turn people away.

I also am a fan of all 6 movies, episodes III and V being the best ones. I started watching the whole saga in 99' when TPM came out, I thought Darth Maul was cool. But I agree with the older fans that Lucas was very inconsistent with the saga. My biggest pet peeve about both trilogy's is how young Anakin and Obi Wan are, and how old they are in the originals. You can't tell me that Alec Guinness is suppose to be in his fifties and that old guy in the Vader suit is in his forties. But what got me into the series was the Obi Wan and Qui-Gonn characters, I thought both actors did a good job.

People are critical of the prequel trilogy (myself included) because it is not up to par with the original trilogy. They are part of the same saga, and should be somewhat near the same quality. They are clearly not. As far as the bashers go, they have a right to bash the movies. We all love Star Wars, and grew up on the original trilogy. After the original trilogy, the prequels are a huge step down. We are critical because we love Star Wars and expected more out of those movies.

 

As far as Natalie Portman goes, she stunk it up. The romance dialogue with Anakin was horrible, as was her "Anakin your breaking my heart." It didn't sound real at all. Neither did her yelling in pain when she was struck on the back in the Battle of Geonosis.
