Is anyone able to rank this yet? My new found love for rogue one has thrown all my rankings into chaos

Right now I've got it in the #4 slot. But I need to see it a few more times before I make a confident ranking.

Same I think. I think in a year or two, possibly after 9, we could see it rise in everyone’s ranks

Well sure. You are now. But what happens in ten years when you decide to revisit The Last Jedi and realize it's an amazing movie?

LV, I agree with your ranking in general, but why AOTC so high?

The scenes between Anakin and Padme are painful and that last battle scene is one of the worst-choreographed action sequences ever put on film.

Because he can't possibly have a JJ Abrams film above it. And TLJ is too steeped in "new" Star Wars and current 2017 "geek culture" for him to give it any credit or value.

I have no idea why he hates RotS so much, though.

Those scenes are painful, for sure, but I think the action set-pieces in AOTC far exceed anything in ROTS, which is mostly just an irritating slog for me. I love the aerial speeder chase on Coruscant and the rain-soaked Boba Fett/Obi-Wan fight on Kamino. And, to be honest, I think the action finale is pretty spectacular. Lucas knows how to make large-scale action feel LARGE. The way the dust kicks up and we just see clone troopers blasting lasers through suffocating clouds with barely any visibility...kind of awesome.

It does nothing for me. Too many distant shots that focus on the "set piece" as a whole. Characters get lost it becomes all become too LARGE for me. I don't really feel like I'm "in" the action.

In a lot of ways that scene, to me, feels like the precursor to your standard Marvel action sequence, which I absolutely loathe.
