Apology Accepted, George Lucas.
WATCH THIS BEFORE COPYRIGHT CLAIMS TAKE THIS OFF YOUTUBE!
Okay, okay. I really can’t stop watching this. You need to see this. It is very, very important. Keep in mind, it is 70 minutes long. I warn you, because once you start- you will not be able to stop watching, or laughing, or shaking your head in sad rememberance.
I have spent a lot of time over the last 10 plus years since this film came out, and I have to say, my memories had obviously acquired a rosy-tint. I thought, yeah, it wasn’t great, but was it THAT bad?
Yes. Yes it is.
I loved Lucas’ appearance on the Daily Show recently. I even felt a little bad for all the fan-hate over the last decade. That’s over now.
What the reviewer here has managed to create here is a tight, smart, funny dissection of everything that went wrong w/ the prequels. (And yes I realize that 70 minutes might not seem tight, but believe me, it breezes by.) I’d almost guarantee that this will end up being discussed in any good film-making class at some point this year. This is SMART.
Remember, ONE MILLION views in just over 4 weeks can’t be wrong. This is film criticism at it’s best and most inventive.
What could possibly top that? Well- lookee here-
WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOUR FACE?
