Quote:I'm not expecting to like these movies as much as the prequel trilogy, but we'll see of course.
The PT is just bad. Sloppy writing, flat acting, inconsistent characters, out-of-place and unfunny humor, romance with no chemistry, pointless plot elements that went on way too long [the pod racing in Episode 1, Obi-wan's search for the missing planet in Episode 2], and the revelation that Darth Vader was just a bratty teenager who was mad because the adults in his life wouldn't let him do what he wanted. Both the recent Star Trek movies, while having some weaknesses themselves, are still better than that.
Quote:Who is he? I don't know the name.
He's the guy who wrote and directed Brick, The Brothers Bloom, and Looper, which are all very good movies.
