The worst of the prequel trilogy. Everybody likes to go "Jar-Jar this" and "Young Anakin this" from the Phantom Menace. No, I thought nothing could top making the fantastical, mysterious, and magical concept of the Force and turn it into some idiotic genetic explanation, but they did with the PAINFUL introduction of Christensen's "Anakin Skywalker" followed by one of the worst love stories shown on film between him and Natalie Portman. I'd rather watch a compilation of feral animals mating than watch those two idiots have horribly written dialog ooze out of their face-holes. Cringe-worthy every time and the only reasons to watch those scenes are watching it with the Rifftrax commentary.
I've always had a huge crush on Portman, I think she's the most beautiful woman on the planet, and even that is not enough for me to try and sit through the cringe that is the love dialogue in AOTC
Siskel and Ebert had more enriching discussions but Ebert and Roeper were way more entertaining. They could've had a comedy group together, Jesus Christ.
Ebert declared in that same episode that Harry Potter was a better film than Fellowship. I also didn't like the latter the first time I saw it. It took the extended edition to properly give me context on the necessities of several scenes that I initially thought were pointless and boring.
I wonder how much hate mail Roeper got for dismissing the 1st LOTR (and I do hope he realized at the time of the movie there were actually 2 more to come, because they're actually based on....books?)
Apples and Oranges. Comparing a film based on extensive literature vs a film that originated in film that doesn't have any supplementary literature to rely on. I do think he's wrong about the Fellowship, but if you're a layman, he's not exactly wrong.
"I feel for every family that's gonna be suckered into seeing Home Alone 3." "This is gonna astound you but I'm giving this movie thumbs up." "It does astound me. Are you okay?" "Better than you were the day you liked Starship Troopers." Absolutely hilarious.
WE DON'T NEED NO ANCIENT WEAPONS, WE DON'T NEED NO LASER SWORDS, NO DARK SIDE USAGE IN THE CLASSROOM, YODA LEAVE THEM SITH ALONE HEY, YODA LEAVE THEM SITH ALONE!!!
He's since revised his opinion after seeing the other two movies. I think he said Fellowship isn't as strong as the other two, but in the context of the trilogy, it deserves a thumbs up.
Haha these are great. Say what you will about Siskel, Ebert, and Roeper. I've disagreed with them many, many times, but they know their shit. The response to Free Willy 2 cracked me up. Siskel: Well, he learned English from Flippy because they swim in the same water. Ebert: Now, now that would be a movie...
Lots of funny stuff! - Run for your life, you're in a bad splatter movie! - I'm all for no pancakes! Silly scene from a dumb movie - The Lord of The Rings review is proof why Roeper is not Siskel level. He's ok but wow, Siskel would have loved it more right out of the hat. And to be fair, he gave it and Hellboy love later, among others. - Carolanne! Carolanne! Carolanne! Bruce!
I really want to find their review of Napolean Dynamite - I remember it being hilarious and perfect because even though they both gave it thumbs down, Roeper kept reciting lines from the movie and cracking himself up.
I do have to admit as much as I love all three of these guys, Roeper could be kind of a dick about certain things. Like people liking the Powerpuff Girls or Spongebob. What's wrong with that? Sure feel free to hate both of them but don't make negative comments about the people who happen to like them Richard. Come on. Regardless, I still love his reviews.
"The Powerpuff Girls Movie" was basically an intro or kinda sorta pilot to the tv series. It was exciting and funny. Thumbs Up. Siskel and Ebert were hilarious when they reviewed "The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2". They both hated the film and they STILL argued. Thumbs Up to all the "Jurassic Park" films.
Well, I mainly look for vids of Siskel, Ebert, and Roeper talking about movies and even some of their arguments and reactions when they hear something astonishing.
You know you're watching a bad sequel when "Carol Ann" is uttered more times than "Hated" in Roger's "North" review. Get ready to throw rotten tomatoes at me, but I happen to agree with Richard's LOTR review. I was into it at first but it went on too long and eventually bored me. But Richard, I happen to like the Powerpuff Girls, so the feeling is mutual. And I agree with Roger about Attack of the Clones.
They're complaining about the name Carol Anne been called 100 times in the movie. I made a video about The Bonfire of The Vanities where the name Sherman is mentioned a little bit more than that. Very funny critic though.
@tarvolt I agree with you.. they were extremely long, I only cared for like one character and it is just way to overblown, Jackson relies on special effects to have us feel emotions.
about yoda's light saber roeper said what if yoda had to go against another jedi who also had similar force. that's when yoda needed a light saber. haha
"You're Yoda! Nobody can stop you!"
Except time.
@@brianschwartz5298 True for all of us. However: nobody and nothing aren't necessary meaning the same thing.
"Star Wars fans will love Attack of the Clones". I lol'd

This fan loves it

@@JPJones03223 < Then this fan is an IDIOT.
"Whoa...uhhhhhh-"
I lose my shit every time.
I didn't like it either. At one point I stepped outside for a smoke.
I could not believe anyone in their right minds would give Lord of the Rings a thumbs down. Roger's reaction of utter sincere shock was amazing.
Siskel and Ebert had more enriching discussions but Ebert and Roeper were way more entertaining. They could've had a comedy group together, Jesus Christ.
I still can't believe roeper loved attack of the clones.
Well it was still better than the last jedi ;)
navylaks2 no it wasn’t. Attack of the Clones is the worst Star Wars movie ever made.
@@crixxxxxxxxx Since 2017, that statement is outdated.
Angelus Nope. Clones is still the worst.
@@crixxxxxxxxx Second worst.
The intro always brings a tear to my eye.
That intro was awesome! Thank you for posting this, and all of the other clip selections. Seriously, well done.
Carol-Ann! Carol-Ann! Bruce! Bruce!
I also like the little exchange Ebert recounts in his Hellraiser II review: Kirstie-ee-ee! Tiffany-yy-yy!
To this day I cannot fathom how Roeper gave Fellowship a thumbs down. I guess every critic has a howler every now and then but boy, that's a big 'un
well it is the same guy who gave Batman V Superman a positive review
Ebert declared in that same episode that Harry Potter was a better film than Fellowship. I also didn't like the latter the first time I saw it. It took the extended edition to properly give me context on the necessities of several scenes that I initially thought were pointless and boring.
Roeper later revised his views on Fellowship IIRC.
+C.J. O'Dell In his positive review of The Two Towers, he clarifies that his recommendation doesn't change his negative view of the first film.
What's even more surprising is that Siskel hates Silence of the Lambs.
"-So you are giving thumbs down to Lord of the Rings?
-Yes
-Whoa"
Hahahahaha, the astonishment of Roger.
I wonder how much hate mail Roeper got for dismissing the 1st LOTR (and I do hope he realized at the time of the movie there were actually 2 more to come, because they're actually based on....books?)
I dismissed the 2nd one.
@@Angyali same
The old intro at the end made me smile. Thanks!
PANCAKES!
Roeper is insane! Likes Attack of the Clones but hates Fellowship of the Ring
He's right on both counts.
Apples and Oranges.
Comparing a film based on extensive literature vs a film that originated in film that doesn't have any supplementary literature to rely on.
I do think he's wrong about the Fellowship, but if you're a layman, he's not exactly wrong.
@@TheMovieDoctorful I'd say he's right on the first count, but that's the beauty of opinions.
Richard's laugh at the end of the Star Wars review at the beginning is priceless.
9:12 Funny as heck.
"Always Brunette, never Blonde" God bless, you Siskel
It's awesome how upset Siskel gets during the Poltergeist III review
"I'm told this franchise has it's adult fans as well. I hope never to meet any of those people"
Ya think that's bad, wait til you come across bronies
Hehe, good one XP.
I gave it 5/10 on my blog. It's halfway good, halfway bad.
Or Steven Universe. Lol
Your Yoda Damnit I'm paraphrasing miss Roger Ebert.
That scene from Cabin Fever is really funny for all the wrong reasons. "Pancakes! PANCAKES!"
"I hope never to meet any of those people." HEY!
Ebert's "whoa" when Roeper pans LotRs should be made into a soundbyte. Classic.
That's awesome, they immediately turn into kids when talking about star wars.
Lol I love the nerdy star wars argument
I used to watch this every weekend
"I feel for every family that's gonna be suckered into seeing Home Alone 3."
"This is gonna astound you but I'm giving this movie thumbs up."
"It does astound me. Are you okay?"
"Better than you were the day you liked Starship Troopers."
Absolutely hilarious.
YOUR YODA! NOBODY CAN STOP YOU!
That was a rich line! :))
"Carol?"
5:10 Actually, orcas are not whales, but a member of the dolphin family. So getting lessons from Flipper maybe isn't all that implausible after all.
I want to see beginning to end of that Blade review now lol omg 😂
When I first saw SW: Episode 2's battle between Yoda and the Count. I couldn't help but laugh, it was so absurd!
Haha... "Even the audience was joying in!"
I like the campy intro too. For some reason it just cheers me up.
Oh God this is the funniest one yet!!!
these r so good! thx for posting
8:29Yo, I felt this way when I saw HA3 as a kid when it came out. Thanks Siskel RIP
WE DON'T NEED NO ANCIENT WEAPONS,
WE DON'T NEED NO LASER SWORDS,
NO DARK SIDE USAGE IN THE CLASSROOM,
YODA LEAVE THEM SITH ALONE
HEY, YODA LEAVE THEM SITH ALONE!!!
"flipper's been teaching willy english"
"Now that-that would be a movie!"
2 people wanted that NORTH AMERICAN CABLE DEAL
Ebert: Free Willy meets Flipper? That would be a movie! lol
Poltergeist 3: Why didn't some audience members vary and go, "WILMA!"
He's since revised his opinion after seeing the other two movies. I think he said Fellowship isn't as strong as the other two, but in the context of the trilogy, it deserves a thumbs up.
Holy shit that clip from Cabin Fever was awesome! Now I have to see it.
"CAROLE-ANNE! CAROLE-ANNE!"
"Pancakes! PAAAAncakes!" (starts kicking punching martial arts style)
Siskel's review of Free Willy is HILARIOUS!
You get a five for the DKR medley alone!!!
Barp, barp-de-Barp... :D
Gotta love the Yoda argument.
You see Plato is not just this brilliant philosopher, he's also a Jedi warrior.
7:55 I love how Roger throws out the term "classic line" like it's something you hear all the time in movies.
Yeah! That was great! XD
these are great
You don't need no laser saber lol!
i going to be a critic on a video of critics being critics....
...i love this video..thumbs up!!!
When they are discussing the looks of Yoda, reminds me of the briliant discussions on Seinfeld about nothing really.
YOUR YODA! NOBODY CAN STOP YOU!
Rich.
Crouching yoda hidden dragon lol 😂
That scene from Cabin Fever made no sense in my life.
Haha these are great. Say what you will about Siskel, Ebert, and Roeper. I've disagreed with them many, many times, but they know their shit.
The response to Free Willy 2 cracked me up.
Siskel: Well, he learned English from Flippy because they swim in the same water.
Ebert: Now, now that would be a movie...
:48 Richard realizing that they're 2 grown men getting paid to argue about "Star Wars"
"Your Yoda, nobody can stop you" : ))))))))
excellent tribute. the music worked perfectly with the material for some reason.
"Carol....
Hahahaha
roeper must squirm every time he sees his review of the fellowship
Lots of funny stuff!
- Run for your life, you're in a bad splatter movie!
- I'm all for no pancakes! Silly scene from a dumb movie
- The Lord of The Rings review is proof why Roeper is not Siskel level. He's ok but wow, Siskel would have loved it more right out of the hat. And to be fair, he gave it and Hellboy love later, among others.
- Carolanne! Carolanne! Carolanne! Bruce!
"TO GET THAT NORTH AMERICAN CABLE DEAL!"
i miss this show so bad now...
...awesome
man richard and roger sounded like two real star wars geeks at the beginning
Kudos on the Diddy Kong Racing Music
Godamn I wish they were still around today to review movies!!! It sucks that people age.
"You're Yoda, no one can stop you"
Well, Roger, did anyone stop him in the film?
Nope.
Omg! That clip of Cabin Fever was...hilariously bad! LOL! I miss this At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper! :(
5:19 Yeah F you too Roeper! 😂
95% agreed with Ebert, and rarely with Siskel. However, starship troopers was better than home alone 3...
By an inch.
Anytime!
Roper LIKES Star Wars II !! Ebert didn't rail into him enough!!
9:18 Funniest thing that's ever come out of Ebert's mouth
I really want to find their review of Napolean Dynamite - I remember it being hilarious and perfect because even though they both gave it thumbs down, Roeper kept reciting lines from the movie and cracking himself up.

Siskel and Ebert were hilarious when they reviewed "The Lost World: Jurassic Park 2". They both hated the film and they STILL argued. Thumbs Up to all the "Jurassic Park" films.
"Always brunettes, never blondes" "Very good"
Carol Anne!
Well, I mainly look for vids of Siskel, Ebert, and Roeper talking about movies and even some of their arguments and reactions when they hear something astonishing.
He downed lord of the rings for having a non-ending ? That was the point, now that's really funny.
0:00 - 0:50 Sounds like something Kevin Smith would have in one of his Clerks movies.
how can Roeper like the CG Yoda more than the puppet Yoda? It just baffels me.
You know you're watching a bad sequel when "Carol Ann" is uttered more times than "Hated" in Roger's "North" review.

Do you have the full Attack of the clones review?
"I hope to never meet any of those people." Lulz
Pancakes ... PANCAKES!
Crouching Yoda, Hidden Dragon
They're complaining about the name Carol Anne been called 100 times in the movie. I made a video about The Bonfire of The Vanities where the name Sherman is mentioned a little bit more than that. Very funny critic though.
@tarvolt I agree with you.. they were extremely long, I only cared for like one character and it is just way to overblown, Jackson relies on special effects to have us feel emotions.
about yoda's light saber roeper said what if yoda had to go against another jedi who also had similar force. that's when yoda needed a light saber. haha
You always use the best music.
"PATRICIA! PATRICIA!"
Haha, I think I spelt "Carole-Anne" wrong (Carol Anne?).
