Most disappointing movie franchise reboot? Pick Two
Vigo:
I am gonna have to chime in on that awful train-wreck known as the star wars prequels. The "plot" was always surrounding people and things you just didn't care about, these movies should have been 'The Lord of the Rings' epic. Instead, we get a movie about Naboo, a planet that seems 10 miles in circumference, only has two cities (one of them is in the ocean), and a snarky 9 year old who acts like he is part of the "Burger King Kidz Club". If being a strong in the force gives you the ability to make awesome stuff, why wasn't luke's farm filled with hand made droids and pod racers.
The third movie skips over all the clone wars, and trys to slap the series into completion within the last half hour. "Suddenly Anakin is Evil, suddenly the Jedi all get killed without having a clue about what was happening to them, suddenly Yoda decides to live in a swamp and sends Obi Wan to live in the desert. Oh, and for good plot slapping measure, R2 and C3PO just magically get everything that happened to them wiped from their memory for the hell of it. ::)
Also, they can't even follow the few loose plot guidelines in the previous movies:
* If Leia's mom died at birth, how did Leia Remember her mother vaguly?
* If, according to yoda, size does not matter when using the force, why did it take him all his effort strength to move that stupid pillar, allowing count dookie to escape? For yoda, it should have been no harder than lifting a biscuit with the force.
* Wasn't the force a spiritual thing, an old religion as they called it, WTF is a midiclorian count all about then? Is the force Scientology or something? Is Tom Cruse a Jedi? ::)
* I thought Obi Wan fought the clone wars alongside Leia's adopted dad, senator organa. I didn't see him do a lick of fighting with Obi Wan. That ---tallywhacker--- must have been lying about his war stories for years to Leia.
* If ability to use the force is genetic, why can't Jedi marry? Isn't that a request for extinction?
:soapbox: I can go on and on about this, but I better stop myself.

This is done with a lot of crazy humor, but this guy does a great job dissecting the issues with the new Trilogy. I didn't count the number of major problems he pointed out, but it's probably in the hundreds.

Yeak Plinkett's 70 min long review of Episode One is more epic than the movie was.

It was only CGI from the neck up. From the neck down, it was all Roland Kickinger.
