Top 10 Reasons the Star Wars prequels werent that bad.

10. CGI

The Prequels have often been criticized for their over use of cgi. But onestly I think that it really isn't that bad. Take the above image of Coruscant. The original films wouldn't be able to do something like this.
9. Natalie Portman
Padmé Amidala image not available.
As the princess who took Darth Vader's heart, she was truly beautiful. If you think that she was bad in this trilogy there is something truly wrong with you. She is one of the hottest girls in the world and she can act. A great combo.
8. Darth Maul

The most badass sith of all time. Not even Darth Vader came this close. He was the pure embodiment of evil. He never talked, had a red and black face, and a kickass double bladed lightsaber. He was the thing that saved the first movie.
7. Revenge of the Sith is as good as A New Hope and better than all the other movies. (Except Empire)

This movie was amazing. It had a great beginning and a fantastic ending. Tieing up the rest of the series. (We'll get to that later.) It was truly a great movie.
6. Any movie with Samuel L. Jackson can't be that bad.

Playing Mace "Purple Bladed Lightsaber" Windu, he was one badass jedi. He was the second best next to Yoda and was strong in his lightsaber ways. He almost killed the emperor.
5. We finally get to see Yoda in action.


Yoda is a boss. In both he strolls in and shows a great apitude for the force. But he also has major skills with a lightsaber. This was totally kickass.
4. Qui Gon Jinn

Liam Neeson is one of the most badass and most effective killers in cinema history. Taken is a very good movie. He's also a good actor too. He plays Obi Wan's master wisley but also has skills with a saber.
3. The end of Revenge of the Sith

A totally awesome ending to a great movie. It tied up Luke Leia Obi wan Yoda Vader and The Emperor greatly. The end before the credits was good.
2. Duel between Anakin and Obi Wan

The best duel in the prequel movies by far. Just a great scene. It's so heartbreaking when Obi Wan is talking to Anakin at the end. Just so sentimental of the prequel movies. You can really tell the relationship between Anakin and his former master turned enemy Obi Wan.
1. Ewan Mcgregor

His performance as Obi Wan was really the selling point of these movies for me. He was fantastic. A worthy successor to Alec Guinness.

My own opinion on the stupid modern warfare 3 vs. battlefield 3 debate

You people know how i feel about Call of Duty. I think it's taking over the world and that their are better and more intelligent games, such as Bioshock and Mass Effect 2. But I recently replayed the Modern Warfare 2 campaign and I have a new opinion. I think that it is stupid that it's taking over the game space, but they aren't bad games. Not at all.

So I have something to say about the Cod vs. Battlefield debate.

This November, two of the biggest shooters are going head to head. It's like Bears vs. Packers, Texas vs. Oklahoma, Coke vs. Pepsi. It's gonna be a western type showdown. At least that's what everybody thinks.

But in my opinon there willl be no real clear winner. Modern Warfare 3 will more than likely be higher in sales than battlefield, because of the extremely high number of COD players. But Battlefield won't be too far behind. There will be no clear winner. There's a couple of rivalry examples I can bring in. They are Coke vs Pepsi and Dell vs Apple. People may prefer one over the other, but neither will ever lose. I think that as long as both are quality games and are fun to play, they will both win. My money is going to go towards modern warfate but that is only because i have only played COD and i really like the modern warfare characters. But I will get Battlefield off of gamefly so i will play both.

In the end, I really hope that they are both good games and that they have great stories. Not that I can say that one is better than the other and know that it's true.
