This is the exact reason I say THERE ARE ONLY THREE STAR WARS FILMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While this guy pretends to be a dumb serial killer and an off-his-meds pizza roll adict, in a very humorous way, he adeptly and succintly tears apart the Phantom Menace (and rips George a new one).
I have always talked about the gaping plot holes, the lack of a single character to relate with, and the logistical problems with the Trade Federation (basically a glorified galactic UPS) imposing a blockade and where the hell did they (or Palpatine) come up with the scratch to embark on such an endeavor. This guy, however, is far more skilled in articulating the precise problems that most Joe Schmoes don't even consider when watching the film. Most people will be satisfied in just saying, "It sucks," without giving much thought to WHY.
Watch all seven segments. I had my doubts as to how the guy could fill 70 minutes talking about how bad the film is. He fills the time easily, and I keep thinking that he probably could have said more.
I love it when they asked some off the street people to describe the personality traits of characters from the first films as opposed to Qui-gon Jinn and Queen Amidala. No one can say much of anything about those two characters.
This guy also picks up on stuff I've never noticed, like the contradictions in dialogue and the opening scroll. All I can say is George Lucas should **** well have had this guy on board as a story consultant for the prequels.
And when you're done watching those seven segments, check out this stand up comedian who envisions jumping into a time machine and killing George Lucas before he makes the prequels and essentially screws up those films. He does an excellent George Lucas impersonation and Boba Fett gets thrown into the mix during the course of the conversation. Take a look . . .
