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.

War brews in the galaxy, forcing a republic to twist its laws to go to war.

Oh god, what a disappointment.

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.

Supergirl supers superly.

Oh my god this is trash from every angle. Bad writing, bad acting, bad .. just bad everything everywhere always. It has no high points. Disney can suck a dick.

A man’s son’s older self goes back in time to kidnap himself.

It’s not great or anything, but it’s obscure enough that I’m glad to have bought it.

A government assassin learns he has been cloned by a rogue lab bent on raising an army of perfect soldiers.

A fair movie. It brings nothing new or interesting, and has generally uninspired writing and action. Thinking back on it, it does seem derivative of so many other movies.

A police officer almost dies in the course of duty, but is converted into a cyborg.

When it came out I was given the impression that it would be bad, especially compared to the original, but it was fair. Not good, but fair.

Some sort of school for not-superheroes is heroic, but one of them becomes less heroic, requiring HERoism.

Bland.

Meh.
