#StarWars #ThePhantomMenace #MovieReview
Apparently, according to IMDB, Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley resembled each other so much in full costume and makeup, that when Knightley's mother visited the set, she had trouble identifying her own daughter. That's good casting!
hot!
that's a set up for some fucked up porn
I'd buy that for a dollar. Oh, wrong movie but you get the point.
+Riichi 😐😐😐😐😐😐
Good facial wise, but Knightley was terrible in this film, absolutely no emotion whatsoever. People talk about Hayden Christensen being emotionless, but I think Knightley is a million times worse.
Honestly, I wish we got to see more of Gui-gon-Jinn, he was a badass jedi master. Not to mention, Ewan McGregor was born to play jedi knight Obi-wan-Kenobi...
His uncle was actually in A New Hope
If you want more of Qui-Gon & Obi-Wan? May I recommend the Schoolastic book series Star Wars Jedi Apprentice? It's an old series from the early 2000s. It's about Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon's adventures before The Phantom Menace. If I were you, I'd check on Ebay.
@@alexslusher16
a man of culture i see
We might see Qui-Gon as a Force Ghost in the “Obi-Wan Kenobi” series. Yoda did promise Obi-Wan to commune with the spirit of his deceased master.
@@narendramartosudarmo well, it did happen.
I'll say this about Ep. 1: It's the best looking of the Prequels. This one was filmed on actual sets, whereas the rest of the prequels were mostly green-screen.
Yes I agree. Episode II was the biggest offender
Did you guys know the Clones are actually not CGI?
+Jasper Daugaard Yes they are, lucas adminted it.
Well, my mistake. But that is really really amazing given how good they look.
the clones looked like a video game from the 90s
Padme: *looks at Anakin
Anakin: *smiles
Padme: *smiles back
Unusualsuspect: Hehe, he's gonna kill you! 😃😃😆
Star Wars Episode 1 was the FIRST movie that got me into the franchise and i still love it today. Though i will say that Revenge of the Sith is the best out of the Prequels.
Same with me
Same feeling I have.
*Spits out water* THAT WAS KIERA KNIGHTLY???!!!!!
A new Suspect review= Day made
true
Totally
+cabshdun more like my entire weekend made XD
Took the words right out of my mouth xD
Took the words right out of my mouth, cab
When people mock Episode I, believe me I get it.
But two things I will defend about it are that considering all the flaws this movie has, the good stuff overshadows the bad. And I still believe The Phantom Menace is better than Attack of the Clones.
you're editing is genius, subscribed
SAME
ApexArmy
Yeah same!
*your
YES! The return of the J. Jonah Jameson laugh!
LOL
Suspect: Hey mace!
Mace: ?
Suspect: Can I have an Ipad 16 like you do?"
Mace: No.
Suspect: Aww come on!
Mace: The code forbids it
Suspect: urghh.
Here were the positives of Episode I that I found from my first viewing to NOW.....
- Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan pulling out their sabers in awesome Jedi action
- The Pod Race
- Qui-Gon and Shmi talking about Anakin, which ALONE sets a good standard for Anakin as a character
- The open worlds
And Darth Maul
LIGHTSABRES!
LIGHTSABRES!
AWESOME ACTION!
PReTTY PLANENTS
DANGLE KEYS IN FRONT OF MY FACE
Don’t forget John Williams.
33:36 Asking Jar Jar for help would be the equivalent of
1) citing TMZ as a source
2) dividing by zero
On Tatooine, they didn't go to Mos Eisly, they went to Mos Espa.
domidium yep I’m glad someone said it!
Yeah what an idiot. Imagine mixing those two up. They’re so obviously different
Dude chill it is a common mistake.
Plus The Credit exchange would be in anchorhead
Phantom Menace was okay, Revenge of the Sith was good, but Attack of the Clones is awful.
Yup
+Zombie Ducklings Attack of the Clones is bad but I belive Clone Wars movie (and some of the first episodes) are worst.
Franciszek Rychlewicz I've never seen them.
Franciszek Rychlewicz honestly just after anakin and padme have their cringey dialogue scene when their captured that's when the movie gets better
I don't know, aotc was great in tanking some great concepts. Crime story, assasins in big city with flying cars, hidden army of clones, huge battle on desert and arena, villains becoming far more belivable when they lose trust in republic and democracy, from deleted scene padme development. Lets put her history together, she was elected queen (for those who don't belive monarchs can be elected please read a book) bring suffering on her people which makes her see Senate in "full glory" as bunch of incompetent loud people, finishes old conflict with Gungans and after she lost her throne she continues her mission to help people with evacuations (which ended up as tragedy) and support of democracy! Thing that failed her last time! This is strong role model but somehow nobody put it in words! Oh I suppose to say more about episode 2? It is mess of a movie and because it is prequel we know who will survive the battle since we SAW effects of their work. I really wish it was better.
That Yoda quote makes sense to me, not only does it describe the human path that often leads to suffering around the world, but it could double as an indicator that the Jedi have become stifled and stagnated.
When suspect said "how does fear...lead to anger....then the dark side?" I immediately thought to myself:
"Has he never heard of/read Mary Shelly's Frankenstein?" Literally the easiest thing to reference. Yoda's quote makes perfect sense in universe, and out.
Strongly agreed. Maybe it's just something Suspect needs to experience.
That was very funny and enjoyable work you did, Unusual Suspect. Can't wait for your next review on Attack of the Clones.
+Darth Perfidious That's not what he's doing next.
***** Oh. I thought he was doing the entire Prequel Trilogy one by one.
Darth Perfidious He's gonna review the entire series. Just not all in a row. Next he's doing a Top 10 Video, then he'll probably review TASM 2. Maybe he'll review Attack of the Clones after that.
***** Alright. Cool.
+YTWarrior100 Right you are sir!
Sees new upload, likes before watching it.
+Eric Fung Just watched the whole thing, did not regret liking it.
+Eric Fung Move review is 45 minutes. Your first comment was posted 1 hour ago, and the reply 50 minutes ago. Seems legit.
+*trying to think of username* ERROR: COULD NOT BE ARSED. I have extra space.. idk what to type:) I'm sure you know that youtube rounds up the date to the nearest hour. Cool username btw.
Eric Fung Oh. I did not know that. Thanks!
I love this.
episode 1: "fear" leads to the dark side according to Yoda
episode 3: the Jedi are "afraid" that Anakin is getting to close to Palpatine, in other words the jedi have contradicted their own teachings.
They meant fear of losing someone you love
Wether you like the prequel trilogy movies or not you have to admit that The Holiday Special is worse
The holiday special is the best thing ever brought to the Star Wars universe!
Finally, someone speaks the truth! The holiday edition is the best ever.
+Connor Darrow i enjoyed it
At least the prequels had awesome music and expanded the lore.
I'm comparing the Star Wars prequels to the Holiday Special.
Where did it all go wrong?
GoofyGoufer64
It actually is one of his regrets. He's been trying to destroy all traces of the Holiday Special ever since it came out.
There's been an awakening.....have you felt it?
The dark side
And the light
Its called a morning boner
+Jasper Daugaard morning wood
MrZapparin Steal beams?
Aren't melted by jet fuel?
MrZapparin Sorry I must have missed something.
So, apparently there's a fan-theory going around saying Jar-Jar was originally intended to be a Sith Lord for the prequel trilogy....But due to fan outcries, he was replaced by Count Dooku.
i just dont get why anakin needed to be a kid, why didnt they start the same with luke, with anakin being 19-ish
+ultrawarriorwookie I agree; with him being 9 it's really hard to buy all the insane stuff he does.
+The Unusual Suspect yh, ikr. great video btw, cant wait for a review on the next two prequels
+ultrawarriorwookie I just don't get why every butthurt fan wants the prequels to be the same as the originals. Him being young is a good way to show his interests and light side.
+ultrawarriorwookie So you're saying the Prequel trilogy should've started with him already being a jedi?
Darth Sibistine That would be terrible. The Prequels are supposed to be about his past life anyways.
It always bugged me as a kid the whole "anikin is too young to be trained as a jedi" because when i was around that age when i got into star wars, and it kinda was a dick move to have a movie where every 7-30 year old kid want to be a jedi, and then have it so the movie literally is like, nope, your too old. No jedi for you.
You should realise that those rules only applied to those who wishes to join the order to prevent emotional attachments.
+TATE LIOI You missed the point
+Kyle A this concept was introduced in empire strikes back. luke was also too old
+dionkeyser yes but Luke was a full grown adult, so the "too old" excuse had some kind of logic. To have an 8 year old be too old is just creepy because it basically says the Jedi only train kids that are too young to make the decision to be trained.
Luke was a whiny teenager who played with toys - a kid.
Episode 1: Not that bad
Episode 2: Bad
Episode 3: Awesome
Yeah! Mr. Plinkett Cameo :D
When?

+First Order Frank "I like it when the goo just starts to come out..."
Yoda's line: "Fear is a path to the dark side. Fear leads anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering." This line describes Anakin's life leading to his fall and becoming Darth Vader. Anakin fears losing his mother, meaning that she will not survive without him with her, that is what he fears. His fears are realized in Ep 2, when his mother dies in his arms and he becomes angry at the tuskens because he blames them for killing Shmi. His anger stays with him through out the Clone Wars and it builds with the losses of friends, battles, and the sacrifices he had to make in order to save a friend or conquer a battle. That anger then builds to the boiling point of hate when he gets "trapped" on Coruscant during the last days or weeks leading to the end of the Clone Wars, until he falls to the dark side for righteous meanings but ends up losing sight of those meanings. After fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi and being left for dead on the lava banks of Mustafar, the last bit of Yoda's line comes true: Anakin's hate carried him through the fight until the very end when he falls to the lava banks, burning and suffering. He remained suffering for the rest of his life until Luke saves him in Ep 6. This is why Anakin's story through out the six main films is a tragedy.
Watching Nute Gunray being dubbed over by Lu Kim’s lines kinda makes me want to see an edition of the prequels with Trey Parker voicing Gunray in his “stereotypical Asian” voice.
Probably would've been good for the Robot Chicken parodies.
Rest in Peace Kenny Baker. Hope R2-D2 is with Obi-Wan up in heaven
Obi Wan is in Hell rioting.
PixarMan2001 Wait, WHAT!?! WHEN DID THEY DIE!?!
Proto L Kenny baker died a few months ago to about a year and Alec Guinness has been dead for way longer, I’d say more then 15 years give or take
@@yugiboy578 he thought about Ewan McGregor
jar jar is the reason why palpatine won. Jar jar made the extinction of the jedi happen.
TheLeoLegendary10 OF COURSE!!!
Jar Jar is the key to all of this.
JAR JAR is the key to all this!
Darth jar jar
Fucking Darth Jar-Jar Binks!
Episode I: The Phantom Menace 6/10 (movie has great soundtrack and few memorable scenes. I wasn´t bored)
Episode II: Attack of The Clones 4/10 (dialogs, romance just eew, only highlight of the movie is Obi-wan vs. Jango)
Episode III: Revenge of The Sith 6.5/10 (movie carries over some bad stuff from episode II but has some good moments)
Episode IV: A New Hope 7/10 (only thing I did not like was the nonsense about deathstar weakness)
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back 8.9/10 (almost perfect really no gripes there)
Episode VI: Return of The Jedi 8.5/10 (army of carebears defeating the empire,otherwise great movie)
Just mine opinion though. As far as the lightsaber fights go my favourite is still to this day Luke vs. Vader in episode VI there is something about that fight that is so visceral the choreography is actually good (comparing it to Episode IV wich is just sad) and the emotions between Luke and Vader are so strong you can almost grab them how real those emotions are. Every strike and parry carries a meaning and emotion and the music is soo powerful there....not even prequel fights managed to invoke such feelings inside me. I think the problem with prequel fights is that they are obvious choreography and that the strikes don´t carry much weight to them whereas you can feel the weight of each strike in ROTJ fight between Vader and Luke especially when Luke gets pissed and completely annihilates Vader.
....and how'd you rate the sequel trilogy?
So Mark Hamill did a good job?
people they actually made a scene where Jar Jar dies... im not kidding it got deleted
tbh I think Anakin and Padme's relationship being painful and awful in II and III is intentional to some degree. He's been a Jedi for ten years, taught to abandon all his attachments, and he's reintroduced to a girl he likes when he's a moody, emotional teenager. He doesn't know what the hell he's doing and Hayden Christensen sells that.
I think it’s better in III but yeah
Is it bad that I think Anakin is a better character than Rey?
FOX-Men Fan Guy To be fair at least he isn’t a Mary Sue like Rey
TheDestroyer2alltrolls because he isn’t a real character. He’s an emotionally stilted, psychically suppressed, indoctrinated, boy who never grew up
@@jonesinator47
No, it's actually a good thing. You have a common sense
The "hoedown" is the BEST moment in any of your videos, IMHO. That was spectacular!
you forgot the part where Qui Gon tells Anakin to "stay in the coke-pit"
Ok, here's what the prequels are, honestly: A series of films with really good ideas that could have been executed much, MUCH better than they were.
Do I think they're good movies? No.
Do I watch them from time to time because there's some awesome stuff in there and the bad stuff is fun to laugh at? Yes.
Do I appreciate that it added a lot to the Star Wars cannon and essentially doubled the size of the Star Wars expanded universe? Yes.
Given all that, it's hard to be too mad at these films. After all, to quote Meatloaf, two outta three ain't bad.
The novel actually fixes a lot of flaws. Besides the fact there is no terrible acting in a book, some moments have been revisited and revised, like, Qui-Gon & the company visit multiple shops in Mos Espa in search of a generator, and Qui-Gon actually tells Shmi that the money from selling the podracer wasn't nearly enough to buy her off. And surprisingly, Jar-Jar isn't that annoying on paper as he is on screen.
Tatyana Lomazina The book is always better than the movie.
YES GIVE ME THIS VIDEO, IN MY FACE
ahhhh Its you again love you Hoodo
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Love your videos man!
Hey I love your videos
Sure why not
+HoodoHoodlumsRevenge Star Wars Ep. 1 creepypasta confurmed?
So... are you going to review the rest of them?!
+Trent Kelsey Yeah; once I've done Die Hard and Amazing Spider-Man 2 I plan to get to work on Ep. 2 :)
+The Unusual Suspect And I know you said you weren't going to, but I still think you should review Home Alone 4
+The Unusual Suspect And I know you said you weren't going to, but I still think you should review Home Alone 4
+The Unusual Suspect i do say that ep. 2 is bad but i think it has the best fight scenes out out of all of them like the battle on geonosis.
+Wesgasm x (WH) no end of episode 3 is the best fight scean
Suspect editing himself into scenes never gets old XD
8. Attack of the Clones (7.5/10)
7. The Phantom Menace (8/10)
6. Revenge of the Sith (8.5/10)
5. Rogue One (8.5/10)
4. The Force Awakens (9/10)
3. A New Hope (9/10)
2. The Empire Strikes Back (9.5/10)
1. Return of the Jedi (10/10)
david huey yeah though I never did really like revenge of the sith that much
Hmm I agree except I’d switch Return of the Jedi with empire strikes back
Ultimate Hedgehog 7.5/10
Rogue one was better than Force Awakens
Also, New Hope should be 2, Empire should be 1.
But I respect your opinion.
Under normal circumstances I'd be pissed that Force Awakens got ranked higher than at least Revenge of the Sith. On the other hand, I'm happy that you rank 'Jedi' as #1; my favorite as well (ridiculously underrated).
Can I get a 10 hour version of that jar jar song?
Today I was shot down by the girl I like, so coming home from work to find this in my subscriptions feels absolutely great :)

Hang in there, buddy. Plenty of fish in the sea.
One does not simply review the phantom menace without mentioning duel of the fates.

@@jcrews8582 Jupiter ascending
The phantom menace is one of my guilty pleasure movies
Fun fact: My dad loves The Phantom Menace because of the scenery and the graphics. However, I like it because of the score and the Darth Maul duel scene.
we'll be here till Christmas....
... 2073 LOL!!!
That "GO!" joke was probably the funniest joke you've ever done, Suspect. The comedic timing on that edit could not be any perfect
Dude your reviews are the only ones that I sit down and watch through like a movie. Awesome!! You put so much work in the VFX, extra clips and flow they're so well done and fun!
The Reason why you disagree with what Yoda says The Usual Suspect is because you are correct.
But here is the thing. The Jedi and the Sith are two extremes of opposite ideals. Jedi worry about fear, the Sith use fear. The answer is in the middle.
The Jedi are correct of some things, but so are the Sith, the answers are in the middle in the Grey area, and Grey Jedi are the most correct. But neither the Jedi or the Sith choose to look towards the other side even a little to see the benefit of using both sides.
So when you disagree with what Yoda says you're correct, but the Jedi are extreme in that direction just as Sith are in the opposite. So yes the Jedi ARE wrong about some things, because their perspective is so in that direction, just like the Sith ^_^
The gray jedi are my favourite part of the extended Universe :D
+Jasper Daugaard Jolee Bindo is one of my favorite jedi...
+carrastealth I always got rubbed the wrong way on how Yoda and Mace and the Jedi council would berate and bait Anakin, like they don't want to give him special treatment and just treat him like he doesn't even belong with them. Don't get me wrong I'm not defending Anakin or whatever, just that their arrogance made Palpatine all the more appealing for Anakin to run and sulk to and for Palpatine to paint the Jedi in a bad light to Anakin.
wallflowercat they treated Qui-Gon the same way because Qui-Gon leaned toward the "Grey" ideals of the Jedi, understanding both the light and the dark side. He was considered a 'radical' thinker, which is why he wasn't allowed on the Council. And why, quite frankly, he would have been the perfect master for Anakin. His death, changed essentially everything and likely delayed Anakin's destiny of destroying the Sith and the Emperor.
But yes the Jedi can be frustrating with their ideals being so black and white, and so can the Sith. That's why the answers are always in the middle.
So when people bring up the contradictive nature of the Jedi as a 'flaw' of the film of sorts, it really isn't. The Jedi are as in the wrong as the Sith on some things because they are two sides of one extreme when the answers are in the center, but both sides are too into what they believe to see it.
I think Lucas pulls that off extremely well at times.
At least revenge of the sith was a better prequel.
+rene rodriguez (xray19) Agreed. Compared to the other two, Episode III was a masterpiece.
+PolillaBenG I wouldn't say masterpiece.
+PolillaBenG well yeah I guess.
+rene rodriguez (xray19) Revenge of the Sith is awesome!!!
revenge of the sith was the best star wars movie... well, not the best but WAY better than episodes 1 and 2 right unusual suspect???
#Suspectforjedicouncil
If this review was made today, in the post-The Rise of Skywalker world, the last part of Suspect's verse in the hoedown would go like this:
"There was something you could have done Obi-Wan you nobhead, if you just used some damn Force Healing then Qui-Gon wouldn't be dead!"
I actually really like the prequel trilogy. Sure, it's nowhere near as good as the original trilogy, nor is it as good as Force Awakens or Rogue One, but I still find a lot to enjoy in it. I love Ewan McGregor as a young Obi wan Kenobi, Chancellor Palpatine really gets a chance to shine in Revenge of the Sith, the fight between Janga Fett and Obi wan on Kamino is great, as well as the asteroid fight between them in space, the music is all amazing, Darth Maul is awesome, and the fight between Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi Wan, and Darth Maul is epic, as well as the fight between Obi Wan and Anakin in Revenge of the Sith
Does this mean you'll try to be positive for the next two? Good luck with Attack of the Clones.
It is refreshing to see someone defend the Phantom Menace, I am frankly sick of all the prequel bashing. I mean there is plenty wrong with them, but as this review shows there are a lot of positives as well, which people often forget in their fervour to criticise.
Great review as always looking forward to the next one.
They get bashed because they're terrible films.
+intergalactic92 I like the prequels, well I was 13 when TPM came out in '99. I like that one more because of the memories with playing the playstation game and collecting all the books for the movie, like Jedi Apprentice and all that geek good stuff :) ReturnoftheJedi is my fave as a little kid I grew up with that one. I had all the complete soundtracks too because JOHN WILLIAMS. My bedrooms walls were plastered with posters, I had the Queen Amidala dolls. I can't hate this film xD
😄😄
19:24 Funniest tribute to Jar Jar I've ever seen! xD
The movie is over hated. It isn't that good but it's okay. Like spiderman 3.
SM3 isn't hated enough, emo Peter is awful
+Billy Barnett No emo peter is nott he problem with spiderman 3 its the bad story writing and plot.
***** Yes very enjoyable movie just very lazy sloppy script
+The Mammalizer I like Phantom Menace over Spidey 3, and I dont hate on either film, I acknowledge other people's opinions on them when they dont like the films, but TPM has a jedi vs Sith 3-way duel! ...I hope that didn't come out dirty....
It deserves all of the crap it gets and more.
I never thought in my life I'd see a Star Wars review with a Whose Line hoedown thrown in...You, sir, just gained a subscriber.
I just realized the music at Qui Gon’s funeral is the same that plays as Anakin transforms into Darth Vader.
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiit. I WAS GONNA REVIEW THIS IN A VAGUELY POSITIVE AND CONSTRUCTIVE LIGHT FIRST, DAMNIT!
+The Ponderer Then do it, there is no problem in making a video about something that someone else already did.
Giovanni Alckmim Russo I know, but it's my first video and when Suspect announced this on facebook I made of a sort of bet with myself that I could get mine out first. That failed, as you can see, so mine will be both the slower one and the worse video. Oh well.
The Ponderer Don't worry man. I made my first vlog one week ago using my webcam. Even if the video be very simple, sometimes simples stuffs are enough.
Raise hand if watching this at Christmas 2073
*Hand goes up*.
Yup
Well I’m a long way away in a galaxy far far away soooo how would I know?
There are a lot of time travelers in the comments apparently.
okay a few things here:
1) The Jedi push tranquility so no shit they would be against relying on some of the strongest emotions (anger and fear). And as we seen, both of those emotions, being the strongest, are the most common among dark side users who get their powers from emotions.
2) Why the hell would they shoot at Darth Maul? The guy had a lightsaber. Anybody in that universe who sees a lightsaber is gonna think "he's probably force trained" and not shoot unless they all want to be dead from the deflected blaster bolts.
3)The movie may have done poorly in ratings but it didn't "flop". A "flop" is a movie that has terrible reviews AND did terribly in the box office. The Phantom Menace broke many a record and made a fuck ton of money.
4) Yoda LITERALLY SAYS it was the COUNCIL who wanted Obi-Wan to train Anakin and that he disagreed with the decision. Yoda isn't the dictator of the Jedi order, if a majority of council members decide on something, Yoda can argue all he want but he cannot stop the council's decision. He DOESN'T want Anakin to be trained but it's out of his hands now. He never changed his mind. They give a very vaild scenario where Yoda disagrees with the council but the council wants Anakin trained "because prophecy". So no, it was not a "because the plot says so" situation.
5) While, yes it's funny that R2 had the most emotion in the scene, the Jedi wouldn't show much emotion anyway. The Old Jedi order promoted tranquility above all else. They don't let sadness take over because they know that their lost friends become one with the Force and mourning openly through large displays of grief is probably frowned upon.
I agree with most of the stuff you pointed out. This movie isn't as bad as everyone says it is. However I just felt like the above was nothing but nit-picking/trying to make scenes seem illogical when in fact they are not.
P.S. I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. WHY didn't the senate go to the Jedi!? Holy shit that's hilarious!
So what Michael bay movies make more money than those THAT DOESNT MEAN THEYRE GOOD
Mostafa Shahin That's not what I'm saying at all. Transformer movies don't flop. They are bad movies, but they make a lot of money at the box office. That's all I'm saying. The term "flop" was inaccurate.
Well obi wan was on there side so he can't use the force against them if he has 2 force users against him
what? Except Obi-Wan and Qui-gon were behind the Queen and her soldiers. And a force user just can't cancel someone's ability to use the force. My point was that if the soldiers had shot the instant Darh Maul Appeared he would have drawn his lightsaber and before Qui-gon and Obi-wan could react, they would be dead because he would have deflected all of the blaster bolts at them.
+Leon Estrali Darth Maul stood there for a full 5 seconds, plenty of time for all the security to shoot AT THE SAME TIME, Darth Maul would be barley able to get his lightsaber out, not to mention deflects a couple dozen blaster bolts.
One of the most original reviews of Phantom Menace I've seen
If the politics of the Prequels bore you, study Ancient Roman policy. It's very much the same
Keira Knightley was only 13 when this movie was filmed.
Jesus, really?
Way younger than I thought
Wasn't she 12? she was born in 1985 and this was filmed in 1997
@Fionn OC The Jedi he said filmed, it wasn’t filmed and released in the same year.
"A positive review for this movie." AKA The type of review this movie actually deserves.
This is 4 years old yet I still vividly remember it popping up in my notifications like it was five months ago.
Holy shit I didn't realize the Asian accents until now
racist:
theunmaskedninja you may not noticed it, but your brain did.
thumbs me down for knowing every line in this film by heart XD
+wallflowercat I get thumbs up instead? :) No but seriously I agree with the video. I love Episode 1 more than 2 and 3. I grew up with Return of the Jedi, we didn't have the first two until they were released or recorded off of the television. I was like 13 when TPM came out and I got obsessed with it, drove people around me nuts and constantly rented the playstation 1 TPM game until my parents gave in and brought for me ^^ Suspect's review on the game is awesome! I also went bonkers in my teens buying up books for the films and I had the official dolls too. They never released a freaking Obi-Wan doll :( still upset over that! DX
up next is your review of episode 2... no wonder its taking so long.
Same I always keep checking
Wait no longer, it is out. YAAAAYYYY!!!!!
HAPPY TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY TO THE PHANTOM MENACE!
*Kermit YAAAAAAY!*
Here’s an eight option to get of Tatooine. Right after leaving Watto’s shop Qui Gon passes Jedi Knight Quinlin Vos. He could have easily asked him for a lift.
Come to think of it, I feel episode III threw away the potential for some emotional leverage. Think of if Obi-Wan had asked Anakin to consider how disappointed Qui-Gon would have been to see him turn to the dark side?
Yes finally a positive review. Beware of HelloGreedo though. For he hates this movie and the prequels.
He's pretty annoying on the subject on any prequel material. Wouldn't give clone wars a chance but watches rebels.
agree! i like him but it does get annoying because i like the prequels especially revenge of the sith which is my favorite.
Dedric Silva People need to focus more about the story being told than about just the little annoying things in movies. Revenge of the sith was awesome, same with clone wars series.
+Dedric Silva That dude is so negative about everything. He complains even about the steelbook Blu-Rays coming out later this year
+Dedric Silva That guy's a freaking idiot. He unbelievably over hates on them. I really want to punch him right in the face! He completely deserves it.
I love that scene with Bart tuning into the RedLetterMedia review for epsiode 1. lol well played
I CANT WAIT FOR THE Episode 2 review!!!!
Yeah
Me too
30:15 if u actually read the word crawl of this movie, it is explained that Chancellor Valorom was the ones that sent Obi Wan and Qui Gon to investigate
"While the congress of the Republic endlessly debates this alarming chain of events, the Supreme Chancellor has secretly dispatched two Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice in the galaxy, to settle the conflict...."
"we don't care about THE naboo". he means the people/civilazation of naboo, the naboo people so short said the naboo, not the planet naboo. At least that is what i always thought he means. makes a lot more sense the that he doesn't care about the whole planet.
I might not consider The Phantom Menace to be a good movie overall, but I do have respect for it. It's the only prequel movie that's remotely close to the original films, thanks to the use of practical sets, the adventure movie plot, and the engaging action sequences. Unfortunately, the movie was weighed down by its characters - none of them really had any personality, let alone character development or extended interactions with each other. With no-one at all to relate to or care about, the movie becomes dull. Which is a shame, because I genuinely believe Episode 1 had the potential to not only be a great movie, but a satisfying new installment to the Star Wars saga.
I laughed way too hard at the 'Dick move' joke
I will say, the originals have tons of flaws, anyone who says they don't. ARE BLIND..
I love these reviews so much that I watch em when I go to bed at night.. Not because they are boring but because I need noise to fall asleep and well, This helps like heck! Keep up the AMAZING work. been here for a very long time.
My life is complete now I've seen jar jar go "10 dolla, sucky sucky?"
This guy could counter the Nostalgia Critic!
The difference is is he's not so full of himself like the Critic ;)
John Striker True! His Force Awakens video sucked compared to this gold!
What the hell is with the dislikes on 10 things 'Star Wars Ep. 4-6' Did WRONG
I did mess up a lot on that video. A lot of my points had holes in 'em and a lot of people got all worked up over me talking about the lack of female characters.
honestly I think it's mainly because you brought up the bechdull test which is practically a very pretentious and unofficial way of how to judge movies
Eric Graham
No a pretenious way to say that all movies that don't have women talking about something thats not a man and saying it sucks
+The Unusual Suspect I didn't think it was bad, it's the first video I've seen, of your's, and one of my favorites
I'm sure the dislikes were because of Suspect's decision to use Jabba's dance number as his transition between points.
Love me some dead-sticks.
*Death-sticks
I still get chills from Darth maul being revealed behind the doors
I like the part where you said "Qui-Gon did you bring a 8 Year old to a Fucking War zone!?"
I now liked to see your first review of this film.
Hello! Will you do a review for Episode 7? :)
Yep; after I do Ep. 2-6 :)
I'm very excited to see you review them all! Keep up the good work!♡ ^-^
When cause I love this review
+The Unusual Suspect so what your saying in about 5 years from now we'll get episode 7 huh this is gonna take a ton time by the way when is the next movie review
+the Unusual Suspect Which is when?
Imagine the kid from 6th sense playing Anakin instead.
I like this one. This one grabs me more than the earlier ones due to the effects.
I wasn't expecting Eddie Redmayne at 22:56 to be so scary, but when he unfroze, I nearly fell out of my chair.
Maul the best character of the prequels? Grievous would like to have a word with you...
+Shockwave Hmm, yeah, not a fan of Grievous actually. When he was introduced in that Clone Wars cartoon he was a badass but ever since Windu crushed his chest and gave him that cough, he came across as a big joke. At least I think so.
+The Unusual Suspect Grevious was an idiot
Observer Alternative Grievous is a badass and had a much bigger role than maul. My love for grievous is also very much affected by his awesome design. Don't get me wrong I like maul aswell but for me he's right behind grievous as best character of the prequels.(and I do prefer the 2003 clone wars version of grievous)
Shockwave
His role in Episode 3 was quite stupid, he was only their to have light saber fights he didn't actually serve a purpose
Observer Alternative He was the general of a droid army though :/
The best characters in the prequel trilogy where Palpatine, Dooku, Obi Wan, Quick gon Jinn, Darth Maul, and General Grievous. If they added Assajj Ventures I would add her to that list too but she was not.
14:25 Jar Jar mouths the words that captain panaka says, using the force to manipulate his actions, in order to ensure padme and anakin meet as a vital part of Darth Sidious' plan
Or Panaka is only explaining what the Queen (or her decoy) told him to say to Qui gon and Jar Jar is just moving his own mouth just because he is, like everyone does in real life sometimes.
Seriously, will people stop blaming Jar Jar for causing the events of the original trilogy? This theory makes no sense and i hate it.
I love your comedy Unusual Suspect, you remind me very much of the critic. That is, when the nostalgia critic was actually funny, and I feel like he's an inspiration of yours. Really like your stuff, it's like if NC didn't start view-whoring and just kept making funny content.
Love your vids, keep it up!
Love this review! LOL @ Kitster's reaction 21:23. I'm glad you pointed that out and for the clever nod to the RLM review! *thumbs up*
Suspect singing made my day
