Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (Gareth Edwards, December 16, 2016) Movie • Page 25

Aside from not taking really any YouTube reviewers seriously, I wouldn't take anyone seriously who complained that it's tough to review the 2016 Ghostbusters without being called a misogynist (it's not), one of his criticisms of that film is that every male character is an idiot (that's one of the best parts of the movie), and implies that critics were dishonestly praising the movie (they weren't).

 

Let me first clear my throat for this statement. AHEM. I LIKE THE PREQUELS. Many others do also. Please stop posting this shit like it's true. Sheezum crow.

 

Today I learned people sometimes need to clear their throat on the internet. Cool.

 

Coolest man. The coolest.

 

TPM and ROTS I still like. AOTC was abysmal though.

 

What prequels?

 

Where does ROTJ fall on everyone's lists? I know that movie gets a lot of crap for the 2nd Death Star and the Ewoks, but I have always loved that movie. I sometimes waffle back and forth between ANH and ROTJ being 2nd on my list (behind ESB of course).

It's got a lot of cool stuff in there. The entire Jabba sequence is cool, the speeder bike chase, the emperor taunting Luke, the Luke/Vader duel, and the Death Star attack. I also found the editing between the 3 climax sequences to be tight and exciting.

 

ROTJ is 4th for me nowadays. Don't let the mid level ranking throw you though, I still adore the movie. It just isn't as good as 3 others.

 

AOTC IS GOAT

 

Can I guess the top 3 are ESB, ANH, and TFA?

 

yep, in that order

 

Duel of the Fates is cool I guess

 

If we're doing personal rankings, mine goes TESB, TFA, ROTJ, TPM, ROTS, ANH, AOTC.


I know someone will discredit me for having A New Hope on the farther end. Everybody has an opinion, and honestly even though it was the first and is still great, revisiting all of them last year made me feel like it's actually all setting up and not much entertainment. Guinness and Ford carry the movie.

 

Of the original 6 this is the only acceptable order to me.

5>4>6>3>1>2

Anyway, beyond them when you add in 7, I feel more willing to accept it in several spots. I put it third personally.

 

I'm going with

ESB>ROTJ>ANH>TFA>TPM>ROTS>ATOC

I threw TFA in there but it's hard to really rank that movie until I watch it in the context of VIII and IX.

 

YEAH, IT IS.

 

Empire is definitely my favorite. The next three are TFA, ANH, and ROTJ in probably that order, though they're all in a pretty similar place for me. The rest are terrible enough that the order barely even matters, lol, but I'd probably call Phantom the most enjoyable prequel and Clones the least.

 

I think it's kind of interesting how TPM has enjoyed, kind of, a new appreciation from fans in recent years.

 

I think it's more people realized how awful AOTC was. The first hour is brutal.

 

I think it's 'cause it was so jarring at the time but holds up better than the other prequels. Though, I think most people put Revenge over Phantom, maybe because it followed the abysmal Clones. Though, again, they're all really bad, lol. I couldn't sit through any of them at this point.

 

This is the correct order

 

Personally, Phantom only holds up because of Darth Maul. Although his character was absolutely wasted and replaced with the useless Darth Tyranus, he was still cool for the like 16 minutes he was in the film. I will never forget the first time he ignites his lightsaber.

 

Pretty sure the Duel with Darth Maul, Qui Gon, and Obi is my favorite action sequence of the entire series next to everything ESB.

 

International trailer. It's mostly the same, with a few different shots. One line of dialogue is a little spoilery, so be warned I guess.

 

If you have kept up with the rumors it makes total sense and just confirms what has been "leaked" by a certain actor. But yea, somewhat spoilerly.
