This is damn true.

Of course its true....to them. Not only that its their JOB to tell you what they think. The people who believe everything blindly are more at fault than a critic giving his/her opinion. No one is forced to take everything as fact. Any critical reader takes every review with a grain of salt as its told through the filter of the reviewer. Reviews exist to inform. What you DO with that Information is up to you.

As I've said a billion times. We are the anomoly. We research things and are willing to take blind buy risks. The average person doesn't want to

I disagree..it use to be porn and beheadings. Not for a couple seasons....they need to get back to that! Especially the porn part.
And do not take the 2 star review of Clones with a grain of salt..it really is that bad.

If by Clones, you mean Attack of the Clones, then no, I don't go by the review, I actually enjoy the movie!

Attack of the Clones is flawed and has many issues. But I don't feel it's bad in the least, it's a lot of fun.


And all the scenes with Anakin & Padme aren't bad. Some work quite well. I think the scene in the meadow by the waterfalls where they talk about "how things should be" works. I like the scene where they argue about who's in charge in front of the Naboo council (the look the new Queen gives them is priceless). Scenes like that.

The "Real world, come back to it" line was the only thing that really took me "out" of the movie.

I remember years ago when it was released, people on starwarz.com forums were more taken out by the word girlfriend than by the real world line...
I never understood how that one pulled people out of the movie...

Is that the one that starts with the absolutely worst CGI shot in the entire Prequel trilogy, of that cartoon Anakin trying to ride that mount?

Starts?

The beginning (start) of the scene. Anakin is riding that mount (it's an Eeopie? I think) and falls and pretends to be hurt.

Just funny that you mentioned that scene - although I actually enjoy much of AOTC (I don't think it's nearly as bad as some folks do) it is what stands out to me most as really terrible CGI, so much so that I am shocked it was included.

Agreed. There's some legit bad cgi in Clones, for sure. But I watch that scene with the mentality of "Oh, look what they were trying to do, but didn't work." As opposed to "That ruins the movie! This is worse than Manos, Hands Of Fate!"

I was in no way prepared for that.

Is that what Mayhew really sounded like on set for all the films? I would have lost it as an actor in every scene.

Not an Eopie. Those are native to Tatooine.
I forgot what this thing was called though.

The Naboo ass-cows are called Shaaks IIRC.

CGI has nothing to do with why the film is bad.
