Kevin Smith on Episode I:
Quote:
Of the film, I can say many things. But the long and short of it is that I liked it - quite a bit. I'd rank it right after 'Empire' in a list of fave 'Star Wars' flicks. It starts great, ends great, and has great stuff sprinkled in between.

Yeah, he's got credibility...
|
I don't see him bashing Episode I at all... He does mention the prequel haters but that's it.
|
I think that's the point. If he liked the piece of turd that was Eppy 1 then why should we believe him that Eppy 3 is nothing more than an even bigger piece of turd.

What was wrong with the prequels that any other Star Wars movie didn't have? riddle me that!
-Bad acting
-Cheezy dialogue
-Annoying characters
The only thing I can guess as to why people hate the prequels is..... No Darth Vader, No Empire, Not Dark enough.
To me the story is there and that's all that I care about. It's Star Wars man! [/b][/quote]
The problem is there was no compelling story. Lucas focused on SFX more than anything else including his precious digital character Jar Jar. The humor was infantile - heck it included a fart joke for pete's sake! The acting was way worse than the original triology. In the original movies the acting was cheezy and over the top - something that can work in a big blockbuster action movie. But in the new ones the acting is just...wooden. No emotion. No character development. Just a bunch of clowns running around playing with their sabres.
And if someone tried to get me to actually tell the plot line of Eppy 1 I couldn't even do it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the new movies - in fact I envy you because as someone that was a huge Star Wars' fans Lucas ruined something for me. Frankly I'd rather feel as you do, even though I don't understand how anyone can like those pieces of crap movies.
