Topic	The Phantom Menace is somehow WORSE than I remembered.
CaptainOfCrush 12/11/17 1:01:24 AM #210:	Finished II and III AOTC - As I briefly touched on earlier, the Anakin/Padme scenes are probably even worse this time around. It's not a surprise to anyone, as their dialogue in this movie is the stuff of legend. The film ends with another uninteresting, messy land battle, but at least it's better (or less worse) than the one that caps off PM. The Sith apprentice, Count Dooku, also says things, and despite Hayden Christensen's wooden deliver, at least Anakin and Obi-Wan have a more interesting relationship than the latter did with Qui-Gon. Obi really carried this movie, one that I now think is a good step ahead of PM. ROTS - The best of the three. It's not a great movie by any means, but I actually felt some real emotion here. My gf and I both felt for Obi-Wan when he learned of Anakin's villainous turn. This movie also featured the best PT Anakin performance (a very low bar, but hey at least he's not horrible here) and the best action scenes. It's still stuffed with camp (I really need to look into "high ground" - it just CAN'T be as random as it seems... ok, it can and probably is), but I think the dialogue and delivery here is improved as a whole over the earlier films. Overall, whereas I was unsure about 1 and 2 beforehand, I now think it's a clear case of 3 > 2 > 1. The first two are still bad, but ROTS pleasantly surprised me and crept into this "omg it might actually be good" territory. It's closer on the spectrum to TFA than it is to EpI/II. I - 1/5 (irredeemably horrible) II - 2/5 III - 3/5 --- Yoblazer http://i.imgur.com/gByqgPg.gif <cite>CaptainOfCrush posted [p:891989121] in The Phanto...
