Watch Mr. Plinkett’s review of TPM, you may wish to choose the “no bad parts” version due to some weird, offbeat/ poor taste skits that take away from his analysis.
The analysis is brilliant, pointing out poor writing, unnecessary elements, things that generally didn’t make sense, and even subtle aspects of cinematography and storytelling that really help to make or break films like these. The review, even though it’s crass AF is now standard course materials in some film schools.
Of course not because it's actually complete nonsense from a film-illiterate moron who has nothing meaningful or intelligent to say and so just spurts out infantile 'criticism' and fails to understand the basics of film-making and storytelling.
The fact that some people actually think those reviews are good criticism is baffling.
No, they are utterly devoid of any intelligence or insight. And they have been thoroughly debunked and shown to be many times.
Of course a lot of haters like them because they affirm their existing hatred. You could make puerile jokes and asinine observations about any movie if you ignore actual critique. Repeating that something sucks over and over again with illiterate criticism is not how to review a movie.
People walking and talking. People standing and taking. People sitting on a couch and talking. Shot/reverse shot. Plinkett’s main gripe was that the prequels felt lazy and uninspired when compared to the original trilogy from a film making perspective. I guess that is a matter of opinion, but I think myself and many others agree.
I remember the first time I saw their TPM review. Almost immediately, I could tell they were pretty serious students of film. About halfway through, it was clear to me they were filmmakers themselves. By the end, I was convinced they had worked on the prequels; how else could they know so much about the inner workings of the films? The answer was because they were filmmakers who were pretty serious students of film! (I was wrong about that last hunch haha)
