The Star Wars Prequels
Oh don’t act like you didn’t see this coming. There’s almost nothing new to say about these abominations that hasn’t been moaned by fans in the past decade. George Lucas’ decision to torture us with these additions to the best sci-fi saga of all time had to have been strictly money driven, because there is no quality to be found in any of these films aside from the visuals.
All of the acting is wooden, the writing is awfully unbearable, and Anakin as a character is just the worst. Fans of the originals will remember that the acting and the writing weren’t exactly top notch, but the heart that beat in that saga endeared it to nerds worldwide. These films instead focused on creating toys, spin-offs and careers for untalented Hollywood folk.
I promise I won’t keep you on this too long, because like I said above, everything that needs to be said about the prequels have been said before (although the need for Jar-Jar’s slow and painful death can never be overstated). These movies have become the Nickelback of films, and for good reason.
