BTW, Imran is clearly right about nearly everything. Although I wouldn't say AOTC is "close" to Return of the Jedi. It's inferior, period. It has some good moments, but a lot of dumb stuff.

Thanks... though I guess I think of AotC as better than most people because I seperate out the romance parts. When you do that, its a pretty decent movie. Yoda's lightsaber battle just makes the movie rock at the end, as well.

From the link:

The films below are listed with their production year, so for example the Oscar awarded in 2000 went to the Best Picture in 1999.

PWNED!!!!

joncha: so true.

The romance definitely ain't what I like about AotC. Good girl likes bad boy = not really good girl. And yes, it's also just plain poorly written/ poorly acted. I don't like the notion that Anakin is still basically good after the Tusken incident either. I liked the Lars family stuff, and the Dooku/ protoempire stuff. The latter is good enough for me. Too bad I didn't watch the IMAX version. Maybe RotS will have an IMAX version?

you can't separate out the cheesy parts. It's part of the movie.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Of course you can. It's not hard .

Turned Titanic into a 3 minute movie.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Actually, that would make Titanic into an amazing 3 minute movie . Those scenes of the ship sinking were amazing.

A good experience maybe, but not a good movie.


If you get stoned and laugh your ass off through the Nuremberg Trials, that doesn't make it a good comedy.

[Imran Siddiqui]

I guess in the end, it depends if you consider a good movie to just be one that is entertaining or a good movie to have some artistic value.

You consider the scene where everyone dies the only part that isn't "cheesy"?
