Incredible 70min review of Phantom Menace

Why does he talk like Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man?

I'm sure it is a great critique, but in the time it takes to watch the review you could have watched the film. Bit pointless IMO.

i thought the same, I'm now on the 3rd part, its ****ing hilarious in places, well worth a watch, and so accurate as to why TPM sucks, we all know why it does, but this really points how how stupid the plot is in places

I love when it cuts between people describing the character of Han Solo without mentioning his job or appearence and then they can't do the same for Qui-Gonn

Ha yeah, "he....has a beard?"
"stoic..."
"beard?"


or the queen: "shes just....normal"

this is brilliant:D

The actions of the characters make absolutely no sense, and his pisstaking of the crappy dialogue is hilarious "a communications disruption can mean only one thing...invasion!"

"or it could mean you didnt pay your ****ing phone bill!"

The bit about how crap the battle droids are including footage of Lucas himself saying the exact same thing is utterly brilliant, actually he doesnt sound like Rain Main, he sounds like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs lol

Im half way through part three, absolutely brilliant

But its more entertaining then the film. You could say TPM is a bit pointless.

Okay, I'll admit it I just watched part 1 and it's very entertaining. Will watch the rest later.

Brilliant. Just watched the first part. Definitely gonna watch the rest.

Yer man went on a bit I found myself coming back to see what he would have to say in the next segment and so forth!

Obviously he didn't need to go on to prove it was crap, but I'm glad he did...his comparison to the lightsabre battle scenes was pretty insightful, and overall he made me appreciate the old trilogy all the more*

Surprised he didn't mention Darth Maul as a character - menacing looking but a vapid character and only has a couple of lines in the film.

Lucas is an ideas man...he was lucky with A New Hope but he never should've directed the prequels. That being said there has never been a good prequel has there?


I hope this guy critiques Episodes II & III



* I actually haven't watched the old ones in some time, can dvd's of them be bought minus the special edition inserts?

Favourite part had to be the "what the hell room is this in the palace?!" bit. Also really shocked at that footage of the first screening with Lucas etc being met really really badly, hadn't seen that before I don't think

Its on the Episode 1 dvd, "the beginning" documentary, which is the one and only reason i bought the dvd, i think i've watched the movie twice since it came out

just watched the first part in work, gonna save the rest of it for when i go home, this is brilliant!

even in the first part alone, his inability to say the word "protagonist" had me in stitches.. and the "in the end, they usually get the girl at the end, like the icing on the cake" and there's a shot of willy wonka hugging charlie, i was in knots!

Reminds me of that other movie reviewer vern.
Guys a bit weird but totally correct.
