    I don't mind that "NOOOO" moment, the one that I didn't like was the Vader one from ROTS, I almost started laughing xD
    I think in that moment would have work better just the visuals of everything getting destoyed by his anger and Palpatine's expression of satisfaction

    I got what Lucas wanted from their love story, but I believe he didn't think of how it would have felt on screen, those are storyes that work well on books, because you can easely explore the thoughts of the protagonists, but a movie is different, you need really strong dialogues and more depth to the charactersto make these kind f stories really work. During AOTC you didn't feel like their relationship was evolving, and all of a sudden they were in love, it felt weird.
    In the end it is a movie, and you cannot judge it only by the intentions that the writer/director had, but also on how they were executed, and I think the problem in the scenes set on Naboo between Anakin and Padme was the execution and not the idea itself.

    Strange I always start laughing on Luke's ''NOOOOOOOOOOO'' in TESB.
    His acting in that scene was soo bad, and that ''NOOOOOO'' was forced, overreact from his part.

    And that NOOO in ROTS I really like. That scene is just perfect in my opinion.

    Again I see that completely different. I see that progreess with Padme and Anakin story. And I like how it feels like some classic old love story from old novels.

    Like i said before i like that progress alot better than that of Leia and Han where everything is skiped. Leia and Han are suddenly madly in love at the beginning of TESB. Huge jump from their relationship in ANH.

    With Padme and Anakin we saw the whole process.

    I do not need any education. I'am educated enough.
    And you my boy need to accept the fact that not everyone will always agree with you. And that everyone has different opinions about everything.

    If you did not want different opinions why did you started this Topic in which you ask for our opinions then?!

    I've always heard that Opinions came like the vaginas, everyone will give theirs at their own free will, i'm not here to censor no won or to force anyone to share my opinions, i'm in this forum to talk about not to impose on anyone.

    But you just remind me of the fathers watching his son marching alongside his comrades, but their son was the onlyone marching in the wrong footstep, so the parents say "Look, only our son is marching in the right way".

    Nobody will tell you what to think, you'll think it for yourself, but when you're out of your way attacking everybody to defend your opinion, against all odds, it feels like.................................. really, i don't signed to take others tantrums, there's no need, i simply don't have the patience

    I represent the majority with my opinion.
    Don't get me wrong, but you are in the minority camp here.
    The majority likes ANH and thinks that ESB is the best Star Wars movie ever made.
    Normally I'am against swimming with the tide and I appreciate a different approach and differently minded people.
    But in this case I have to side with the majority's opinion.
    ANH and ESB are the best Star Wars movies closely followed by ROTJ who had some minor flaws - Death Star 2 and Ewoks.
    Nonetheless I'am glad that you are enjoy watching Star Wars movies and that you are a board member.
    At last we are all in the same boat and Star Wars fans who like to talk/write about it in this forum.

    Attack of the Clones is easily the worst Star Wars film, for me. I don't even have to think very hard about it. My kids don't like it either. When we sit down to watch a Star Wars movie together that one never gets shuffled in the deck.

    This is a honest statement I really like.
    I'am glad that you can enjoy all 6 movies, I guess most of us can't.
    A different taste is boon and bane together.

    1. I do not care for majority.
    I think that everyone here has its own head with a brain to judge about what he/she likes or dislikes.
    What's that supposed to mean? Everyone should copy your opinion because it is a ''majority''?!

    It is really sad when someone is not able ( or scared ) to have its own opinions, who only go with the flow of ''Majority''.

    2. Majority maybe here on this forum, in the world with common people, nope.

    3. Majority is not equal right

    4. As far as I am concerned ROTS is the best Star Wars movie

    ''I guess most of us can't'' is just your opinion.

    Actually as we can see on more objective polls. For example on IMDB.
    ''Majority'' likes all 6 of them.

    Also for you ''Majority'' is seems very important.

    For some reason, I have to put this reminder out again every time a thread is created discussing positives and negatives of the films.

    Your opinions are just that. Opinions. There is no objective truth to your enjoyment of a film. Agreeing with the majority does not make you a sheep. And having a dissenting opinion doesn't make you wrong. If you want to have a mature discussion of the positive and negatives of the movies, please continue. But everyone quit it with the personal attacks against those who don't agree with you. At the same time, accept that others may disagree with your tastes. If someone makes a comment against a movie you like, it is not necessarily an insult to you personally. People just like different things. Please keep it civil or the thread will be locked.

    On a happier note, I thought this was an interestingly timed piece. A dissenting opinion on the quality of the prequels that doesn't devolve into name calling. I don't necessarily agree with all of the writers positions, but I can respect it because it is their well thought out opinion.

    Sure my opinion is not the law, everyone can like/dislike what he/she wants.
    In my personal view ESB is the best Star Wars movie ever made, closely followed by ANH and ROTJ.
    To my surprise the majority accidentally thinks the same.

    <<Mod Edit>> Comment Removed. As stated above, no personal attacks.

    Like I said before, I do not care for ''Majority''.

    If my opinion is majority or minority, it means nothing to me ( it will not change ).

    I never said anything about the fact that their "love story" was "romantic and formal."
    I assure you, I enjoy period dramas, Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian romance literature, etc. I sat through an entire undergraduate class devoted to a single such novel (in which I was the only male in a class of seven students); If you could take that class, devoted to the novel "Pamela: Or Virtue Rewarded", and write multiple essays on a single love affair between a maid and a wealthy lord, then you can tell me about romantic and formal love stories.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pamela;_or,_Virtue_Rewarded

    No, my friend, my criticism has nothing to do with the formal nature of the relationship.
    It has to do with the fact that the dialogue and acting are horrible and literally physically painful to watch.
    Again, this is how I see the "romance" scenes in AOTC:


    Unlike some of the posters, I actually can sit through AOTC. I'm a hardcore-enough SW fan that I still *like* the prequels even though I think they were poorly made. Nevertheless, the scenes between Anakin and Padme in AOTC have already taken their place in history as some of the worst-written, worst-acted "romance" scenes to ever appear in a big budget American film. I'm sorry, but that's just the way it is.

    I guess we should all remember the banter between Obi-Wan and Anakin in ROTS:
    "From MY point of view, the Jedi are evil!" :rolleyes:

    Ok your opinion with which I disagree with.

    I like their love story. And I do not see any bad acting there. Just classic formal romantic story in SW universe.
    As for dialogues, as said before, they are in my opinion on the same ''quality'' in all 6 movies.

    I do not agree ( nor I understand ) with any criticism from your side.
    I would really like some concrete example of that ''bad acting'' and ''worst-written'' scenes in their love story.

    The easiest way to explain something is by exemplifying, so

    When someones says to me "A New Hope is the worst Star Wars Movie"
    I just rest my case, nothing more needs to be said
    I can't give anyone intelligence or culture
    So let it be, just don't come give me any opinions about something you don't clearly understand

    So basically you insult anyone who has a different opinion than you. That says enough about your intelligence and culture.
    Next time do not start topics like this if you are not ready to hear different opinions.

    AOTC

    I'm not a hater, I even get why we had to do the love story scenes. Portman was fine but Hayden had poor material to work with.

    Obi Wan versus Jango was cool, especially the asteroid field.

    For me it was the droid factory that did it. Sub par CGI, and then horror of horrors....R2 busted out the jet packs. I literally remember an audible WTF in the theater at that one. It felt like a really poor attempt at copying a scene that shouldn't have been copied ; The mine car ride from Temple of Doom.

    3PO saying "Die Jedi Scum!"

    The whole thing (droid factory) was just awful.

    The rest of the movie was fine. Star Wars is like Pizza and Sex.: Even when it's bad, it's still good.
