"with terrible dialogues"
"streamline the dialogues a bit"

"I have not seen The Room (oh hai!), but Attack of the Clones is legitimately my pick for worst movie ever made. My friends literally had to restrain me in my seat: I kept trying to leave. That has never happened with any other movie. AOC doesn't even work as a functioning movie — I'm gathering that's the issue with

"Jumper is one of the worst blockbusters ever made and it could have been a tolerable dumb action film if they'd casted an actor with an ounce of charisma."
It's funny how you mention "charisma", when strong charisma was keeping his scenes in III afloat even when the acting failed to various degrees - there are only a

"Ewan McGregor and Liam Neeson couldn't even do it!"
Except they could - Neeson's scenes with Watto are among the best acted in the movie, even though he said his performance was wooden cause it was hard acting to CGI.

"You occasionally hit gold, but most kids are Jake Lloyd, or one of the Bobbys. That's not their fault, but it's also why you don't build a movie around them unless you're sure you've got the one in a million who's an actual actor at that stage."
Hmm, every single kid in GoT is top notch, I guess they all found "ones

"I re-watched it recently, and was impressed by how her acting in that scene overcomes the weak dialogue. It's the most powerful scene in any of the six Star Wars movies, thanks entirely to Portman and McGregor's acting. (Christensen is actually a bit better in that scenes as well—though I would hesitate to actually

I'm glad getting owned on the internet gives you a boner - I aim to please with my ruthlessness, I'm sure you understand.

"I think the worst line and line reading of the entire prequel trilogy actually came from Portman in Sith: "Anakin, you're breaking my heart!" So on the nose and unnatural,"
By "on the nose", I assume you mean the actual line as written - which already sets you up as a hack critic, if you cite obviousness / directness

"By naturalistic, I meant, "not affected in any particular way"."
Except of course that…

"George Lucas was probably never going to coax a good performance out of his leads"
Well, I guess he did,.

"If Ewan McGregor can't keep his performance lively and interesting, there's no way a nine year old is going to do anything other than a straight line reading."

"If Jar Jar wasn't in those movies they would still be some of the worst movies ever made."
And that's how you disualify yourself from being taken seriously right from the start :D

"As I mentioned elsewhere, if this wasn't some hugely popular franchise with a fervent following, I doubt very much people would be reaching so far to find positives to talk about."
While "standalone" movies are in no way safe from unfounded bandwagon negativity (see LXG - a very decent, fun genre film at worst), being

"The sad part is just how much compelling stuff is buried in there, especially Attack of the Clones. Obi-Wan's investigation was an honestly great story that I wish had been told correctly."
What do you mean by "told correctly"? It *is* already compelling - nothing is buried.
