Darth Vader…light sabers…Chewbacca…that’s all you need to know.
It has only been within the past week or so that my faith in Star Wars has diminished.
Way back before I rewatched these abominations, I remembered the Star Wars prequels to be full of awesome adventure and action and cool light sabers and amazing backdrops……man was I WRONG. I rewatched all 3 and I gotta say…what was I thinking??! Maybe it was because I was really young when I watched them, and they were incredibly hyped up when they were released, and I really liked Natalie Portman’s pretty outfits…but oh. my. god. What horrible films!!! They really don’t do the originals any justice at all!!
I can’t believe I actually sat through it all because the acting was TERRIBLE (who the hell actually bought Hayden Christensen’s turning to the dark side – honestly), the dialogue was atrocious and the plots…well…I don’t know if you could even call them plots. I mean, at least the originals had better flow and portrayal of a far reaching galaxy with likeable characters….it made it exciting and interesting and fun to watch. But the prequels just sucked the LIFE out of the whole star wars world. Even Yoda was way more bad ass and had way better dialogue in the originals than he did in the prequels!!!
I think the main reason why it sucked so much was because George Lucas spent all 3 films just overloading CGI and pointless scenes, and then everything about Darth Vader and his story with Padme is reduced to 5 minutes of explaining just why he wears his mask, how Padme dies and how Leia and Luke got separated.
It’s just….STUPID. I don’t even know where to start with how bad the prequels really are!!! I frankly can’t believe how I actually thought the prequels were watchable……………………..it’s just…unbelievable. I don’t think even words can describe just how bad it is. You have to see for yourself:
(fast forward to the 3:00 mark…or you can watch Hayden Christensen’s crappy acting in full while he makes a mockery of Darth Vader’s iconage)
And if you want to watch some more bad acting, here are my personal faves:
Obi Wan and Padme cry over the younglings
Padme and Annie’s unstable relationship
And if you really want to view more horrible Star Wars clips, click here.
I think the cheesy, badly acted romance just seals the fact that these prequels were useless garbage and are only enjoyable to the people under the age of 13.
What horrible, horrible films. Hard to believe these films managed to earn millions at the box office, smash ticket sales records AND made Hayden Christensen a z-grade star. Seriously.
I cannot agree more! I swear I could throttle Jar Jar and feel absolutely no remorse.
