Well let's see.

The Phantom Menace is a mediocre film and a terrible Star Wars film.

Attack of the Clones is a terrible film and a terrible Star Wars film.

Revenge of the Sith is a mediocre film and an okay Star Wars film.

They may not be good, but you need to take brian medicine if you honestly think they are as bad as:

Transformers sequels
2012
Iron Man 3 (inb4 cuz the mandarin, literally don't even read the comics)
Godzilla 1998

Pearl Harbor
Terminator 3

>>63943615
>The Phantom Menace is a mediocre film and a terrible Star Wars film.
It's the most Star Wars-ey of the prequels imo, feels the most similar to the OT it's really not bad but definitely the most flawed of the three and things like little kid Anakin, Jar-Jar and dated cgi does make it unwatchable for some.
>Attack of the Clones is a terrible film and a terrible Star Wars film.
AOTC gets the most undue hate of all the prequel films it's completely solid and has more character growth than any of the other movies do people just hate on it because of the romance plot?
>Revenge of the Sith is a mediocre film and an okay Star Wars film.
It gave people basically everything they wanted and made up for alot of the stuff everyone hated about the previous films, SW really does have the shittiest most entitled fanbase there is.

I wouldn't recommend it just because how bad it is, but for the sale of comparison than maybe, it's really the acting of the leads that bring it down a lot, especially Nick stahl, and the feel of the production and filming. Also Arnold's writing isn't good at all

You have to be autistic to think they are good
The dialogue is just so bad, a literal child could do better. You have to be a fucking manchild to enjoy these films, because there is literally nothing good about them. There's never any tension, you never feel any emotion, the cinematography is horrendously lazy. Blatant cash grabs for toys.

Why is most all media propaganda now you ask?

Post-modern elites (aka cultural marxists and their "useful idiots" the SJWs) have an agenda that isn't simply to mix races or eliminate a race. Their point is to disrupt social cohesion and any form of hierarchical or traditional social structure that could supersede government's authority. Whether it be marriage, the nuclear family, religion, cultural identity (usually identified by race or nationality), etc. any that can compete or overrule the state and pulls away control of the people, must be destroyed to further grow its power and influence. There are different methods of doing this but takes a lot of time to study and explain the impact of several race/class based policies. If you ever watch Thomas Sowell you'll know he explains some of it.

Yes, different races /could/ get along together in a society but that is not what we see. Why is that? Well, aside from racial determinism, we see special interest groups promoting the idea of victimized or disenfranchised minorities. A natural growth between different groups are impeded and instead forced artificial interaction disrupts the norm. This is generally done for political advantages and a moral high-ground. This causes enmity between races or classes while providing a platform for these manipulators, through the old rhetoric of egalitarianism, to create programs that benefit themselves in the guise of "doing good" for the minority or downtrodden.

While, some people are indeed well meaning most of them aren't able to either recognize or cope with the fact that the ideas they push for are unsuccessful and even destructive (welfare, minimum wage, affirmative action etc.). Furthermore these people are continuously fed more rhetoric by the "elite" groups (businesspersons e.g. bankers, cartels, politicians and community leaders e.g. Jesse Jackson, BLM, Green Party) to continue pushing for these policies.

I don't think they're good by any means, but I enjoyed them as a child and I enjoy them now because I simply don't give a shit about the shitty stuff in these films.

Going into the prequels without already saying they're shit gives an enjoyable experience. Except II. That shit was really bad.
>>
>>63944872
But from a movie?
>>
>>63944453

Clone Army is related to the Clone Wars, which was first mentioned in Episode IV.

Ewan McGregor didn't have a line in this movie. Why are people saying he had lines during Rey's visions? That's literally redditor theory.

I can't think of the prequels as bad for some reason.
The only irredeemable things were anakin's fall, and jar jar binks. But the original trilogy had the retarded thing with ewoks beating the empire too so fuck.

Also the whole black and white deal with the force and shit permeates the whole thing.
In the end there are plenty of better sci-fi series.

It can be anything really. Imagine what it was like for the kid who grew up listening to Guns and Roses records only to see them finally get back together and realize what a failure the guy he'd been idolizing turned out to be. Hell, go ask /v/ how the felt after Spore came out. The sheer amount of anticipation that surrounded Episode 1 is probably never going to be replicated, and thus there won't be any other movie that could quite possibly be as disappointing.
