Guest Gary C Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If I die this weekend, before I get to watch this video, then I want you to play it at my funeral. No joke, Iain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest disparaissant Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 most of the way done. god, he is just great at tearing movies apart. clearly knows his stuff. could have done without all the extraneous bullshit though. "welles used special effects to extensively tell a story, and lucas used story to extensively tell special effects." spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"welles used special effects to extensively tell a story, and lucas used story to extensively tell special effects." spot on. Yeah I think this is maybe the best one. And if anything, there's less extraneous stuff this time round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fishtank Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 excellent review, not as funny and open ended for some reason ??? I like how he drills in Lucas sitting on his fat ass drinking coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpenprol Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 so obi wan is mad at anakin for killing children, also known as "younglings", so we don't have to use the phrase "killing children" in a movie made for...children Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptowen Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 I thought it was funnier than the Episode 2 review, about on par with 1. And I know no one watches these primarily for the little side story, but the lack of closure at the end felt italics wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 i'm amazed by this guy. i'm glad you made this thread, was really anticipating the review of this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAXIMUS MISCHIEF Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 these reviews are 10000000x better than the movies. i want them on bluray in 3d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Plinkett seriously rules the school. Funny stuff. I'm probably going to rewatch the other reviews he has done to remind myself of the lols & interesting discussions of what makes movies bad or good.

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 LoL This shit has a lot of replay lawlz for realz. Watching a bit of it again while I am waiting for The Fighter screener to finish DLing. It's nearly miraculous how entertaining this guy makes a 110 minute review of mediocre film. Dude is magical lols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ^ there is so much wrong with Revenge of the Sith, it's like you HAVE to watch the review more than once. so you can actually catch it all. it's stunning how poorly written the movie is. Plinkett really hit the nail on the head. i liked his rantings of green screen a lot. no matter what the setting or the environment, every scene felt so...enclosed. the CGI in some of those scenes he used is just abysmal his parallels he drew between generic camera work were hilarious.

zazen Posted January 2, 2011 Author Share Posted January 2, 2011 ebert lol http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/revenge-on-revenge-of-the-sith.html wow, in part 1 Plinkett implies that Ebert was paid off to give it 3.5 stars, so I'm surprised Ebert likes it ....

Guest disparaissant Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 ebert is a pretty laid back guy, he doesn't generally seem to take things too personally. and he probably changed his mind about revenge of the sith, like everybody else did. when it came out it was like "oh hey this is clearly the best of the three prequels" and it is, but that says absolutely nothing whatsoever.

chassis Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 This is pretty hilarious. It does drag on a bit but it doesnt subtract from his point. I was relatively young when these came out. Not that young but young enough to be a stupid kid that was impressed by the action scenes. But I dont remember being incredibly bored when two characters were speaking. Id blamed that on being a young teen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Calx Sherbet Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 when i saw each of the prequels for the first time, i had a terribly hard time following them. i always thought i sucked at paying attention, but i guess they really were completely mindless and incoherent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
