gonna watch this, but i have to vent for one second

i feel like plinkett/RLM really had a lot to say and were really speaking from the heart in regards to the prequel trilogy. i love those reviews, and they cut to the heart of what was wrong about them

they obviously don't feel that spark anymore, but keep making stuff out of obligation to money and their viewers

IIRC, the TFA review spent the first 75% complaining about the PT for some reason

okay, vent over, time to watch

edit: sorry, meant PT, not OT

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I agree with your assessment on the TFA video, but I feel like this one got knocked out of the park. Some really good criticism in there (and some other stuff).

The first half of the TFA review was more about examining the Star Wars brand, its fans, and its status today more than complaining about the OT. I thought it was pretty interesting myself.

okay, this was great

these videos are so much better when there actually is meaty stuff in the movie to criticize. they really nailed it

TFA was stupidly safe and vague and had some scientific issues, but it had a decent structure and hit most of the important story beats so it was harder to fundamentally criticize.

yeah, mike actually adored TFA so the plinkett review was more of an analysis than a critique. it's good but obviously it's not on the level of the prequel reviews (what is?).

Yeah I think the TFA review was weird because TFA was like... actually a good movie, and stuff

I thought this review was pretty well done, surprisingly not as funny as previous plinkett reviews

they never did a part where they played this theme!

Spoilers: They praised Solo on Half in the Bag

They don't like it as much as TFA but they were significantly higher on it than TLJ/RO

Solo felt more like a Star Wars movie than anything since Return of the Jedi, so it has that going for it.

They praised TFA and weren't hard on TLJ, too, then made semi-negative Plinkett reviews. I wouldn't be surprised at the same for Solo.

They didn't do anything for RO and they had a lot more criticism for RO so they're probably not going to do Solo

I've only seen Plinkett's Phantom Menace review, but it was fucking terrible. Apparently he's dumb enough to think TLJ has more problems than TFA too, which is pretty ridiculous.

Come on Plinkett, give the people what they want! Where's the Wish Upon review?

I watched Wish Upon and I seriously don't get Mike's obsession with it. Like it's not that horribly made of a movie. It's bad and dumb, but I enjoyed it more than a lot of horror affairs.

The thing that speaks of how much of a trainwreck it is is when the previews all have the guy say "When you make the wish, someone you love dies!" And then in the movie the line is changed to "someone you know dies!" This is because in the first cut of the movie, they realized that line makes no sense because people the girl barely cares about or has known more than ten minutes dies.

I kind of want to know what exactly Mike things is so legendarily bad and The Room-levels it is.

as much as i love mike, he often seems to see things in terms of black and white. jay is a lot more nuanced (and a way better movie critic imo).

reminds me of when they reviewed amazing spider-man 2 and mike went "THIS IS THE MOST HORRIBLE FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT EVER." yeah, it's not a good movie but it's not THAT terrible.

Jay is a better movie critic in sterile descriptive terms, but Mike is funnier and more capable of breaking down what's wrong with a movie, which makes him much more entertaining.

I like their criticisms and critiques in a general sense but I do always remember just being annoyed when the review deviates into some random comedy tangent. it was like, I'm thinking, okay can we just get back to the review? the thing I came here to watch?

I guess I can see where those people are coming from in that sense.

anyway I watched this review around when it came out and I thought it was a really good one. I also agree with people saying the episode on The Force Awakens felt kinda forced (heh) because in all likelihood the RLM guys didn't dislike the movie all that much. they spent way too much time talking about the star wars phenomena as a whole which I guess was interesting, but had nothing to do with the movie itself.

this one for me actually went into and addressed a lot of problems with the movie itself which was really good. also wondering just how serious they were with that 'boycott' message at the end, considering the title is the last plinkett review. kinda makes it seem like they might actually just not watch or review the next one.

the prequel reviews are some of the most informative, in-depth and exhaustive movie critiques/analyses i've ever seen (and it's not like i'm not used to consuming in-depth movie information - had to do plenty of that when i was studying). it's fine if you don't like them but i can't understand how you can possibly think they're not insightful.

I meant that in the sense that most of the criticisms were things I'd already thought of myself, or seen other people talk about.

ok that's fair. he definitely included some familiar criticisms, though he certainly included some more unusual criticisms as well. i had never seen anyone criticize the climactic lightsaber battle in TPM before, for instance.

Last Jedi is a great movie. Force Awakens is whatever. Return of the Jedi is fine. Empire Strikes back is fantastic. A New Hope is good. The rest aren't worth anything. Star Wars has a shitty track record and isn't very good.
