CONTEST And the Jar Jar for Worst Movie goes to

My least favorite has also been Episode 2. I wouldn't say it's a bad movie, but it's a long ways from being good or anywhere as good as the OT. Sure, the politics scenes in Ep1 might be somewhat boring (I actually like politics, so not so for me, It's just not done well imo), but the romance scenes in II are just painful to sit through. When Anakin said "If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me", we all answered "YES!!! Make it stop!" I think because AOTC is an even bigger disappointment than TPM, we try to forget about it, so I often refer to it as "the forgotten episode."

 

I know, it's a shame.
ANH works great as a standalone movie.
In the case that the movie called Star Wars would have been a financial failure it would have been still enjoyable to watch without Ep. V and VI.

0:34 and drugging. (I guess this has something to do with the spirit of the late 70's)

 

NOoooooOOoOOooooOooooooOOoooOoO!

 

i just dont like the yub nub ....

the pt is not the best but it is such a great story that shows a parallel story about what whappened in ww2 and showing anakin grow up and seeing how the empire is built in the same way as germany was forced to militarise their children around the 1920 's etc. yes the pt and aotc are not the best thats for sure but sidious is such a great metaphor for the evil we still see today

 

Family movie?

"Hey son, how did you like the scene where Anakin was about to hack the little Jedi kids into pieces? I'm going to get you a nice Darth Vader costume, so you can re-enact that in school". (unfortunately this happened recently in Sweden)

The long awaited reveal of Anakin's transition to the Dark Side was a joke, IMO. Just because he didn't stop a "family" member from being killed by Palpatine and because he felt he needed to save Padme (who was in no immediate danger!) he decided to personally kill his "family" members? Lucas had more than 20 years to come up with an explanation / story outline how Anakin changed sides and what he came up with felt like something that was written 15 minutes before shooting the scene.

Feel free to agree or disagree, but what this thread vividly reveals is that our individual understanding what makes a Star Wars film great and what not is so different and partially incompatible, that TFA simply will not be able to make every Star Wars fan happy.

 

well, I think off-screen during Episode 2 and 3 he was falling. What sent him over the top was FEAR of everyone he loves dying. So, he needed his first step to the darkside was killing another JEDI (whether good or bad) when they had surrendered (That was not the JEDI way) Then he seen Mace Windu and took his ("it's got to stop now Anakin" context and helped to aid in the death of Windu. It was then that he became Vader!

 

Worst to best:

TPM - AOTC - ROTS - ROTJ - ANH - TESB

Objectively there is a great deal wrong with the majority of the Star Wars films. The prequels missed the first rule of filmmaking with not giving the audience a protagonist go on a journey with, having bland characters and filling our screens with computer generated silliness. The originals had their flaws too.

But for me, it's the mythology of Star Wars that makes me the 'superfan'. I enjoy the universe, the Skywalker saga and all the themes that speak to us as human beings. That's why I cannot ever dismiss the prequels or 'hate them'. They could've been made better but had they never been made then the saga we all love would've been all the poorer for that.

When we watch TFA, it's the entire saga that before that will really add to our enjoyment of this film. Even those that 'hate the prequels', will enjoy TFA more so because of the story that Lucas told us prior. He laid down the building blocks and hopefully JJ has created a masterpiece with them.

But yeah, f me, TPM is hard to watch.

 

Apparently then there was no great love for Kenobi, who had been his mentor and brother figure. And certainly he must have picked up one of Yoda's lessons that "in constant motion the future is". And perhaps he might have also considered that his love interest probably wouldn't think too well of all his actions.

 

Attack of the Clones has so many atrocities I don't know where to start, overly whiney Anakin, lamest love story ever put on film, Yoda betraying all of we know about him and his teachings, on and on. There is no contest.

 

I think I only saw AotC once or twice, but don't seem to recall Yoda betraying his teachings. Can somebody please elaborate what I may have missed (or conveniently forgotten)?

 

"Judge me by my size?" Apparently size does matter in AOTC when you're using a lightsaber. Yoda has to jump around to reach a much taller Dooku in order to compensate for his size.

 

How is that betraying his teachings? It was actually a perfect demonstration of what he meant, that despite his size and health he was stronger thanks to the force.

 

I totally agree. We all have our perception and preferences. And it's also GENERATIONAL! The nostalgia factor is also in the equation.

Prepare yourselves for a whole new generation of Star Wars fans that will say The Force Awakens is the best Star Wars movie ever.

 

I guess you can argue it either way. I still think Yoda using a lightsaber was the wrong way to go IMO.

 

Yeah as you said ''In your opinion''.

In my opinion ANH is the weakest of the 6 Star Wars movies.
It is the most boring Star Wars movie so far.

I like Tatooine scenes. But Death Star scenes I find boring. Also whole battle at the end feels repetitive to me. Many people died in that battle about which we know absolutely nothing.

I am aware of the fact that the ANH was the first. But that does not change the fact that ANH is to me personally the least favorite Star Wars movie.
And I do not care what other people think.

Also acting in ANH is terribly bad ( Hamill and Fisher ).

Are you aware of the fact that ''NOOOOOOO'' is tradition. Every Star Wars movie has a '' NOOOOOO '' moment.
The worst was that of the Luke in TESB in my opinion.

Nope, faaaaaaaar from joke. Actually I find your opinion a joke.
It seems that you do not understand the reasons why Padme and Anakin love story was soo romantic and formal.

1. The intent of their story was never to copy Han and Leia story.
2. PT are set in the ''More civilized times'' which are mentioned by the Obi-Wan in ANH.
3. In the ''More civilized times'' of PT people where more formal, polite, romantic. Intention was to show how time period in OT is completely different. And how OT is set in different, more down to Earth, dark times compared to PT.
4. Padme and Anakin love story reflect perfectly that ''More civilized time''. Anakin and Padme are polite, formal, Romantic. It is like PT time period is a Victorian time period of Star Wars Galaxy.

Sorry but to you basically all love stories from 17- early 20. century would be boring and bad. Because these stories are very similar to Padme and Anakin story.
Characters in them are also romantic, polite and formal.

Ok, just your opinion with which I disagree.
I accept your opinion, but I do not understand it, because I see these movies completely different from you.

When I watch Star Wars, it is always all 6 movies. To me all of them are parts of the same story.
As for lines and acting. To me they are on the same ''quality'' in all 6 SW movies.

Like I said before. I genuinely like all of them. And I genuinely consider all 6 of them a good movies.
