Wait. Wait. Wait. If you've had problems since the first episode, how do you care about the characters? I mean, what made you expect something different from the others? I've noticed quite a few people have said this, but they
STILL went to each sequel as it came out! Why throw money at it? You're only adding to the profit margin to ensure the sequels would be made! I don't buy the "It's Like Watching A Train Wreck. You Just HAVE To Watch." defense because I don't
WASTE money on watching something I'm sure I'm gonna hate. I do believe you're one who believes in spending your money wisely, ain't that right?

It should've been called "the horselike, lizard creature that makes a noise so annoying that most of the audience said to themselves 'can this fucking thing shut the fuck up already'!" Please excuse the language, but that's exactly what I heard the audience saying, I kid you not.
(You forgot to mention that it was also part bird

) So the audience had a problem with a noise that lasted LESS THAN 2 minutes? I feel so sorry for those people. They must have a problem with day-to-day life seeing as how there are hundreds of things more annoying than that in the world and they usually last longer than 2 minutes. Gilbert Gottfried and Jay-Z (

) come to mind.

Jar Jar was freakin' joke. A jamaican sounding alien that speaks pig latin?
What jamaicans have you been listening to? I don't hear any familiar accents in his voice. Or even pig latin, for that matter. As I typed: Jar Jar
wasn't the center of the saga, so why does he matter so friggin' much to folks? I could understand if he was Anakin, but he wasn't. Lil' Ani was the worst thing about Episode I. Period.
HE'S the one
I'm complaining about the entire movie, but I don't let his performance ruin the experience. I'm in it for the story and the story is good! I mean, how do you deny the snazzy of Palpatine's plan to become Supreme Chancellor? That guy was a freakin' genius!
quote:
Do you know how many people walked out of Episode I saying "what the hell was with that stupid ass Jar Jar character, if I wanted comedy, I would've read Eric's comments in the political thread at Metacritic".
There's comedy in all six films! Some funnier than others, but there's comedy! Yes. Jar Jar was an
EXTRA dose of it, but it wasn't
THAT BAD! Especially since they really toned down his involvment by Episode III. I don't even know why Jar Jar is apart of this discussion since he's only seen twice in this one... and he only speaks 2 words! ("Exscuse me.")

The stupidity of the Jar Jar character almost overshadowed all the good things about Ep I. Just my opinion.
I
STILL say it was lil' Ani! I do notice you used the word "almost", so why all the hatred? You have a problem with the dialogue (pretty much the same in all 6 episodes), the noise the varactyl makes (for less than 2 minutes) and Jar Jar (who's relevance vanishes by the third episode). These don't seem to be big enough problems for someone to say the movies are crap. Not if they watched all 6. I mean, I couldn't stand
"Harry Potter" and I only went to see the first 3 because I was dragged there by my wife. However, after 3 doses of the
LEAST CLIMATIC ENDINGS I've ever watched in my ENTIRE life, she couldn't pay me to go back! That's what happens when I don't like the way a story is being told. Forget what happens to him later, he couldn't keep me interested for 3 freakin' movies! So why did everyone else
HAVE to see the entire Star Wars Saga if they weren't really enjoying it? It just makes no sense to me.
