If you haven't seen the Phantom Menace review, be sure to watch that first. Here is the 80 minute plus complete dissection of the horrible, horrible film from redlettermedia.

i don't mean to be a jerk, but, who'd actually want to watch an 80 minute film review? they might as well just make it a mystery science theater deal.

His reviews are worth watching for 80 minutes IMO.

You're doing yourself a disservice if you don't watch these. Not only are they better than the prequels themselves, they're hilarious, better made the the Star Wars movies, and he picks apart the inconsistencies and flaws of each of the movies so well. It's captivating.

Lots of people, considering it's had close to 300,000 hits in two days up on Youtube. This guy meticulously and hilariously rips the films from a$$hole to appetite.

I know 70 and 80 minutes Shocked ... but it really does take this long to explain what's wrong with the films.

Good dam it. It got pulled from youface. [Mod Edit]

Furthermore, anyone who disparages these reviews without watching them is a massive jerkass!

Wow, that sucks. For some reason only 1 of 9 is out of commission right now. The other ones seed to work fine. I'm glad I made some pizza rolls and watched the whole thing last night. Laughing

I'm sure they'll get the first part up and running again soon.

Again, if you haven't seen the reviews for Avatar and Episode 1, check them out in the meantime.

Nearly everyone I've shown this to has groaned at the thought of an 80 minute review, but then totally changed their tune at the end of the first clip.

What's wrong with your faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace?

The Avatar one is very good.

I wonder why The Cartoon Network Inc. called them on it.

If at least a few Mr. Plinkett phrases don't make their way into your daily lexicon of funny voices and sound bites, you're just a horrible person with no sense of humor.

Looks like 1/9 is back up after the copyright dispute.

Seriously folks, treat yourself to this guy's work.

I became an instant fan of this guy after his Phantom Menace review........and this one is just as good.


The cut-away shots of his creepy personal life are hilarious....


But I suspect that he could take apart and expose any modern action movie as a hunk of junk.....not just the Star Wars prequels.......

He is mostly right though....the casting in AOTC was terrible.....the usual awful Lucas script...........plot holes are huge (but I think they are in most movies) ...............but I agree with him that the worst thing was the lack of believable emotion or humanity.

Just watched it and I have to say I enjoyed it quite a lot. It really made me want to watch the original Star Wares films again. It would actually have been pretty good as a commercial for the original ones.

Watchn' it now.

Just had a blue screen of death for the first time, which is mildly concerning.

Have to agree with the previous poster who said the serial killer shtick is a bit much.
