possibly coming later

Don’t watch this, see Star Wars II.I – Attack of the Phantom – (2001 movie) instead. Even at a lower quality it’s.. well it’s better I guess.

Make sure you have Star Wars – Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – (2005 movie) lined up to watch immediately after.

(website, archive)

An assassination attempt on a senator gets her two superpowered-bodyguards, one of whom has the hots for her and whose investigation leads to a mystery that has remained shrouded for ten years.

While nowhere near as good as Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie) is compared to its source, Attack of the Phantom is an adequate watch and certainly head and shoulders above its source. Unfortunately this movie also requires Star Wars – Episode III – Revenge of the Sith – (2005 movie) be watched immediately afterwards, and since there was never a phantom edit made of that I don’t know if I can recommend this.

It’s flagged as disliked, but I don’t feel that I wasted my time watching it. I just feel let down by the ending.


The Adventures of Baron Munchausen - (1988 movie) poster

A crazy old man appears in a war-torn city to correct the misconceptions of the retelling of his adventures.

It’s a great fluff fantasy movie. I didn’t see it back in the day, so it has no nostalgia for me. Left with what it is at face value, I can’t recommend it except for people who like the old 80s style of kids’ practical effects fantasy movies. Think The Dark Crystal – (1982 movie) or The Neverending Story – (1984 movie).

An unlikely time-traveler reappears to help defeat a warlord who had unmade half the population of Earth five years ago.

Meh.

Followed by The Falcon and the Winter Soldier – (2021 show)

VADER EPISODE 1: SHARDS OF THE PAST – A STAR WARS THEORY FAN-FILM

Something something Vader.

Not recommended. I only watched it because it had some copyright drama.

A child, with a big imagination and interested in history, has a fanciful dream.

A wild ride of a movie that’s totally immersed in the 1980s style.

A standard broken-family Disney movie, but with magical thinking.

God damn this is a low-effort piece of shit.

A space-environmentalist works to cull the people who don’t recycle, but polluters aim to stop him.

An adequate movie which for once has a sensible major plot arc.

I don’t even know where to begin with summarizing this mess.

I guess it’s watchable, but it’s not exactly exciting.

Dragonborn-twins have drama.

If you like the others in the Dragonheart series, then I suppose this is worth a watch.
