i don't think i've ever seen this take before. what an strange opinion.
clones is the worst star wars film and until ep. IX came along it didn't have any competition for that crown. i don't think i will
ever understand how people can rate ep. I lower than aotc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Jar Jar
jar jar is the lowest hanging fruit in this argument. his presence is egregiously bad and annoying, yes. i still don't think jar jar sinks menace deep enough to make menace a worse movie than clones.
imo menace has significantly higher highs - neeson's performance as qui-gon, the presence of maul, duel of the fates - than clones. clones barely has any highs, and while its lows may not be consistently jar jar level low, they are rightfully shit on even today for just how bad they are, just like jar jar is. in other words, menace has wider quality swings but it's average still exceeds the average quality of clones. clones is just a total slog to watch with hardly any palpable excitement generated and no actors like neeson carrying the burden of the film, leaving the bad stuff to
really sink it.
let me be clear that menace is not at all a good movie, either. it's just not as bad as clones, and i don't think it's
that close, so i will never really understand those who feel the opposite is true. i
definitely will never understand how someone can rank rogue one as tied for worst star wars film with clones. at least i can agree that clones is the worst, though.
ah, copperplate, a font for the truly modern man.
