"In the words of Sigmund Freud, sometimes a cigar is just a giant vagina in the desert that swallows men whole." Yes.
I found that one less insightful than the Episode 1 one. Episode 1 I saw some flashy things, didn't mind the movie, but felt ho-hum about it, and I wasn't sure why I thought that.
Episode 2 he slams the love scene (something that was painfully obvious--although I had forgotten how over-the-top the romantic imagery was). Once again complains about too much CG and too much stuff on the screen (a point he had already made in Episode 1). Complains about people knowing stuff they shouldn't...except most of the people he complains about are Jedi (who already have a sixth sense for knowing stuff--see Empire Strikes Back where Vader sees some pictures of Hoth and says "that's the secret base, trust me")--though sure, it's bad when Padme does it. Claims that Samuel L Jackson was chosen just to draw in the crowds, and was a terrible fit for the role (fairly obvious now that I think about it--I just don't pay close attention to actors not named Johnny Depp). The one complaint that hadn't jumped to my mind was the complaining about actually putting Yoda in a fight, when it goes against the "strength doesn't matter" speeches he gives in the original movies--but honestly I thought the Yoda fight scene was the high point of...well...honestly the prequel trilogy; I don't really feel there's an inconsistency in "you must learn to be calm and not rely on strength to master the force" alongside the image of Yoda fighting.
So...I feel like he fails to point out much I find really insightful (unlike the episode 1 review) and at the same time goes light on some sequences that I remember being pretty bad (from what I remember, they spend a rather long time in the clone factory--like 20 minutes or something. I was actually getting rather bored with how long the scene stretched out with very little plot substance. And yet he doesn't attack the pacing at all).
Still pretty funny, of course, but he doesn't need to review a movie to be funny.
