The most awesome Star Wars Prequels review, ever.

[Krieg]

It's over a hour long, but you need to watch it. You need to watch it!

You're late to the party on this, over a year old now. And his best one is the Revenge of the Sith review from a few weeks ago.

I know. I haven't seen it mentioned here, though. Not everyone knows about it - I have seen it mentioned only one one forum out of many that I frequent.

I've seen it mentioned everywhere but I've never bothered to watch it, why? It's an hour or over review of a Star Wars, I really don't care much about Star Wars as it is, I also especially avoidedi t when someone gave me the link saying "you should like this as you're connoisseur of bad movies", no sir, I don't see myself as one.

It actually goes much deeper than "just an hour long review of Star Wars", there's a segment in his Episode III review called "The Language of Cinema" that could easily be used in a film theory class on the importance of non-verbal or dialogue based story-telling in film, about how the best films tell their stories through the language of visuals and cinema like cinematography, lighting, editing, pacing of a scene, etc. They're fairly scholarly in many ways, and use these subjects and examples to explain how the original Star Wars trilogy are great films, and how the prequel trilogy is not.

I would actually say the opposite of what the person said that linked you to it because "you're a connoisseur of bad movies." As the connoisseur of great films I know you can be, it is worth it.
