So have you not seen Twilight yet, or doesn't this count as a serious story arc?Atmos Duality said:

1-3. yea, don't care if that's cheating, all three are just terrible movies. No, they have nothing redeemable about them, at all. I'd list everything I disliked, but it's so much easier to just say "everything" and go back to watching Empire strikes back.
I haven't seen the prequels, so I have to pick Return of the Jedi by default. Bear in mind that I don't hate this movie like some viewers do; it is just my least favorite of the three that I have seen.
Same as this. Jar Jar aside, Episode 1 has a certain charm on me and while Episode 3 was over the top, cheesy and silly it did have some funny (if if not intentionally) and cool moments. Episode 2 was just pure cheese with little to to redeeming features.FinalDream said:
Neither, but I do have a copout! ;PMetal Brother said:
I chalk Twilight up as "Hilarious Unintentional Comedy", mostly because Stephenie Meyer was trying to rip off Shakespeare as often as she ripped off Dawson's Creek. The characters in Twilight are so hilariously portrayed that it transcends its own message and instead becomes a mockery of monogamous-celibacy.
In short, I find Twilight hilarious.
Star Wars, on the other hand...is forcing two people to pretend that they are in love strictly because the script says to. There is no underlying sense of need for this; no unintentionally humorous references to transcendent love. Nothing more than "Hey, Natalie Portman is hot!", which is not only superficial and aggravating to watch, but boring.
To butcher a metaphor: If Twilight is Romeo and Juliet as reenacted by Emo clowns, then Star Wars Episode 2 is the same but from an unbias monotone court recorder.
That's the difference between "So bad, it's funny" and "So bad, it's painful."
Star Wars completely falls into the latter category.
Indeed. Grievous was the best character and he was killed off half way through. Horrible idea. I would agree with you, but at least 3 was interesting to see. 2 was boring as hell. There wasn't any action until the end and even that wasn't all to great. You gotta spread the action out. Having it all at the end makes the rest very uninteresting.mazzjammin22 said:
I'm going to go with episode 2, which only had one redeeming scene, being the fight between Jango Fett and Obi-Wan, which was fun to watch. I didn't like the actors all that much, the scriptwriting wasn't great and there was no balance. It also didn't help that I already knew the future from watching the original three before. (Personally, and offtopic, I would have loved to see three new star wars that take place after episode six).
Episode II definitely.
Though I didn't like Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones was the beginning where it became obvious that Lucas really didn't even understand the universe that he had made, and solidified that he needs a group of people to call him out on things and check his (stupid) ideas that should have been left on the cutting room floor

The only redeeming factor in the prequels is Samuel L. Jackson as Mace Windu. Jackson has given me my image of bad ass jedi.
Other than Sam, I didn't like the move to make a prequel series in general. The entire three episodes could have been made better as just some novels for the people that are really interested in Star Wars to read.
Out of the original three, I don't really have a least favorite. There are parts of the movies that don't add up for me, but other parts of the movie redeem those parts. V had the Battle of Hoth which made no sense at all to me until I played TIE Fighter, and the battle of Endor was just stupid. Ewoks were crap. On the other hand, I loved the second half of V and most of VI was solid, especially the ending, even if the ending was cloudy and sort of strange.
Episode 2, hands down. It's one of the worst things I've ever had the displeasure of absorbing through my sight-organs.
