Not as bad as the second one... but it was average...

the plot was bad...
the podracing was too long...
not enough Darth Maul
and they fuck up the meaning of the force...imo

The fight seens was GOAT tho... (behind Episode 3)

I personally think Darth Maul is the sickest Sith next to Vader. He was worth the price of admission alone.

Maul brought back the hoodie...

and he had the GOAT song

Co-sign, "Duel of Fates" is clearly one of the best pieces of music in the entire Star Wars Saga. John Williams crushed the bulidings with that song, outside of the opening credits and Darth Vader Theme, what's more epic than that song?:

Thought it was bad, but it looked really good minus the costumed green trade federation guys (Seems like they wouldve been better off going with CGI for those guys too). Some great action, and liked the world getting fleshed out. Really appreciated seeing the whole council etc. But the acting and jar-jar(the gungans in general) really took me out of it. Can't look past the movie being so damn goofy either. That was probably my biggest problem with it. Everybody/thing telling a goddamn joke plus some of the dialogue feeling modern. Expectations were high too, so I'm pretty sure that's where most of the hate comes from. Didn't help that they focused so much on the kid considering he was trash. Could've spent that time on ::insert a badass jedi::

Did give us Duel of the Fates though, so that's a big plus for it.

I was never a huge fan of star wars. Cant remember the original trilogy too well. But i thought Maul was cool. Episode 1 is the first star wars i can remember all the way thru. I didnt get the hype for it but it was worth the watch imo. Episode 2 i hated because anikin is such a cry baby bitch, i hate the guy that plays him. it made me not watch revenge of the sith, which i heard was bad ass.

Like the poster above, Yoda's fight in Attack of The Clones is the only thing that made that movie cool.

as far as seeing the movie in 3d i dont think i will because im not a huge fan of 3d films either. i think people focus too much on whats coming out of the screen instead of the story and scenes themselves.

i fuckinnnnnnnnnnnnnn love star wars.... i got all 6 on blue ray.

episode 1 was not that bad, and was the best one out, as far as story line goes in the prequel,

the second one sucked ass, that shyt went south after Ankain N Obi-Wan was in the council and got their separate missions... That shyt is TURRIBLE acting wise, it's like Niggaz tried 2 get their 2pac on n film this movie in under a month...

episode 3 was the dopest STAR WARS movie , Revenge of the sith = Empire Strikes Back >>> The Return Of The Jedi, New Hope...

"Return Of The Jedi" went south after they Encountered Them Chubby ass Furry Niggaz,
"New Hope" was the most cohesive from beginning to End, but overall compared to number 5, and 3 it's Eh

and the thing i hate about the Prequel was that they made the force look weak ass hell, in the trilogy their was only 3-4 jedi's ,and they all were either old ass hell or in experience, so it's understandable, but in the prequel the jedi was in full effect, n yet niggaz couldn't see anything cuz "the dark side clouds all", then they wonder why anakin joined the dark side.

It's better than episodes 2 and 6 to me personally. Also Duel of the Fates = GOAT movie music ever. If you try to argue that point just shut the fuck up before you make a fool out of yourself. I can listen to that song taking a shit and it would make that shit an EPIC experience.

This battle and Obi-Wan vs Anakin in Episode III are definitely the best in the entire series.

Ray Park (the actor who played Darth Maul) is a GREAT martial artist/stunt man

I think he means they got all scientific with it in Episode I, before it was mostly dealing with nature and life. But I thought it was cool cause it gave more explaination of it. I never went into the Prequels expecting them to Top the originals, I grew up on the Originals but what I did want from the prequels was to show stories of the Clone wars that Luke was talking to Obiwon about. Stuff you only heard about as kid. So for me they did their job, could they have been better? sure, Lucas knows he could of done a better job but it is what it is, they were never topping the originals to me.

Oh I see what you mean. It became about midichlorian count, and not knowledge/wisdom.
