It's not surprising that the same people who attack the prequels are always unversed in real film or anything artistic, and that the people who praise the prequels (Zizek, Paglia, Brody, etc) are always literate, educated, and versed in real film.

The fact that everyone points to Plinkett as the authority on why the prequels are bad speaks volumes. Mike Stoklasa is one of the least artistic people on the planet - he can't process movies outside of the conventions of Hollywood films, his approach to narrative is tempered with the same surface-level requisites listed on tvtropes.

Any complaint that people have about the prequels illustrates a weak grasp on film. How many art films would they claim has 'too much sitting and talking'? They would watch the end of Breaking the Waves and whine about dated CGI. Their sensibilities for 'good dialogue' in what is intentionally pulp comes from bad pulp, ie, the original Star Wars, the only pulp they've ever seen. They would similarly view any homage-driven art film and miss the entire point.

Lucas' only mistake in the prequels was doing something daring, original, artistic and literate, not realizing that the manchildren conditioned by the original SW trilogy to loathe anything cerebral would lash out against his cinematic risks.

George Lucas always kept the spirit of American cinema alive, primarily telling the story by means of music & choreography, the dialogue being secondary if not superfluous to understanding the film. Red Letter Media dorks literally judge movies by the dialogue. That's their conception of "well written" -- it's just screenplays, "quotable dialogue" -- ultimately culminating in the Marvel Whedon style of "chattiness" -- but the best films of recent years have been aping the silent epic. Blade Runner 2049 for instance, is a silent epic. The Batman is a silent epic. Even many of the A24 letterboxed-core films that have been good are silent epics. There's a whole discourse about audio being mixed lower-- but that's good-- I think subtitles should be mandatory, & for that reason, you aim to minimize them. Film should have as little dialogue as possible. That's my opinion. I fucking hate when you watch a movie & it's just people talking the whole time, plot-heavy, constant exposition dumps. I like when a movie just shows you things & treats you like you're capable of discerning what is being communicated in the language of music & choreography-- kinesthetic, kino.
