LOL, I love how incredibly disturbing part 2 is.

His reviews of the Star Trek: TNG movies, especially Generations, are also fantastic.

I don't know about you guys, but complaining about the prequels is officially too old for me now and this is too long. Can't Hitler do it, instead? He yells a lot, but is much more concise.

I would agree with you, Hook, if this guy wasn't so damn accurate and funny. Best dissection of The Phantom Menace I've ever seen.

Now, I actually liked Episode III.

The softest spot in my heart amongst the prequel trilogy will always be reserved for The Phantom Menace, which I still consider the "best" of the three. I even think quite highly of Star Trek Generations; hell, I'll even confess that Insurrection is in my Top 3 Star Trek films.
That being said, whether one likes any of the movies RedLetter rips on or not, you can't deny how brilliant and hilarious his deconstructions of said films are in terms of the way he nails their most aggravating and unintentionally humorous defects. The Phantom Menace's abandoning of stylistic similarities with the original trilogy (much less any attempt at lacing the prequel saga together with compelling characters, sensible storytelling, or a real sense of thematic, emotional, and human urgency like Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi contained), Generations' general eccentricities and over-reaching, et al. I do admit to taking a certain pleasure from his First Contact review since I've always had a personal vendetta against the suckiness of that overrated part of Trek history, but whatever...
RedLetter is one funny and thoroughly analytical reviewer; gotta' love the way he cuts off his own diatribes against utterly bewildering plot points with his very next point. I also couldn't stop laughing at the end of the second video in his Generations review; the man has one dark, sick sense of humor and I love it. Very much looking forward to what he does to demolish Attack of the Clones.

Great. I loved this. It's amazing what you can get away with with an audience. If only the spirit/general emphasis of the film had been right, most of the little plot things wouldn't have mattered.

It's even better, more well thought out and more well organized than the Phantom Menace review. I especially loved the last part.

I might give his Avatar review a try, there are some things about cinema, in general, I want to say using that movie as a starting point. Anyone know of some good, voice-altering software out there I can use to make him sound... not obnoxious? I really can't stand that voice.
