So many idiots so little time - Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones Reviews
Once again I have to defend a great movie against drooling idiots and wannabe intellectuals. Id like to take a few moments to expose the various critics of these new Star Wars movies for what they are...
A. "Intolerant 80's nostalgia episode 4,5,&6 jerk" (angry_seraph)
People like this are NOT true star wars fans. True star wars fans are the people that truly love everything that star wars is&was. Not all of us trekker fans love all the things that have happened to Star Trek over the years, but so be it. Ill use a word I hate to describe it: evolution.
In other words, people like this didnt honestly fall in love with star wars, they fell in love with the 80's and perhaps their childhood. I remember the first time I saw Empire. I remember the feeling I got when I saw the millenium falcon do that vertical spin to get into the giant asteroid on that big movie screen. With the way the camera moved, you felt like you were there (perhaps one of the best space\model shots ever filmed). Its a moment in my life, even though I was like 6, that Ill never forget.
People like this writing reviews like that are just silly. If they applied the same strict standards theyre hypocritically putting forth against the original movies, they would've hated them too.
You see Lucas had a breakthrough when he made star wars and indiana jones. The world had never seen moviemaking like this until Lucas did it. The first 3 episodes were basically one giant movie, and I believe myself, nostalgia jerk, and the rest of the world were blown away by this style of moviemaking, and since has been
immitated by the likes of Lord of the Rings. (Those clever devils!) So one thing these new movies face is the lack of shock value this movie format offered us back in the 80's which gave the star wars trilogy instant legendary status.
In a lot of ways, "nostalgia jerk" isnt a whole lot different from "braindead 90's special effects CGI jerk" who actually rips on 4,5,&6 calling it laughable for using puppets and models (which looked more real than some of the goofy CGI characters in 1,2,&3. You guys arent fooling anyone, neither of you are star wars fans. One is in love with the 80's, the other is in love with the CGI. Youve just been exposed!
This movies actual weakness?
A. Jango Fett, the whole thing was ridiculous what with Bobo shooting at Obiwan, and him cheering and laughing as his dad tried to take him out, absurd. And what was up with jango fett taking off his helemt? Especially in the arena scene!! Bobo Fett never took off his helmet in the original movies, so there was always a mystery behind him. They did that all wrong. Im glad Mace Windu killed him. Another thing I was waiting for was Windu and Dooku to square off, (2 of the best light saberers there ever was) and that never happened. Mention was also made of his "unaltered clone" (something that wasnt really addressed in 3) Jango Fett did more damage to clones as far as im concerned than Jar Jar couldve EVER done to phantom menace.
Even though clones did end negatively (btw so did Empire Strikes Back if you remember) and one of the worst CGI shots (empirial ships and storm troopers) I have ever seen in my life, it was still quite an intersting turn of events and progression in the life of Anakin and Obiwan and is forever cemented as Star Wars legend!
