Frankly the actors in the PT did a much better job than folks like Harrison Ford or especially Sir Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan in the OT is the most phoned-in performance of all time).

Meh. Tarantino is stuck on himself. Half of his movies are clear misses. Whedon is conceited and doesn’t actually understand when or where (or even which character) to kill off characters for maximum dramatic effect. He also has a disturbing habit of taking his eye off the ball (I’m looking at you Buffy seasons 6 &…

Making the Prequels had nothing to do with greed.

I mean for shit’s sake, Samuel L Jackson asked to be in it. Mace Windu was heavily altered to be his character. He asked for a purple lightsaber. He tells a story of being overwhelmed when he was went into his dressing room for the first time and his Jedi robes were all laid out for him. Both he and Ewan tell stories…

Not to mention a famous comedy bit by everyone’s favorite nerd comedian about going back in time and killing him with a shovel.

Eh, “you raped my childhood” is a pretty harsh criticism.

Pretty much everyone in the prequels felt that way too.

Quicksilver has another elaborate super-speed sequence in X-Men: Apocalypse.

“I held it in my hand and I just felt, you know, the clouds open up and the white doves come flying down.”
