Great at parts...but really, the narrator as a creep has completely turned me off of it. Jokes about rape and murdering prostitutes are not funny or tasteful and the way it was delivered it was especially distasteful. It seemed like he could have easily gone the "bitter old guy" or "50 year old never been kissed" guy route way better. Considering the angle he played had absolutely no leaning on what his review was saying made it much more disturbing.
But the review itself was absolutely terrific. Lightsaber battles especially. I've noticed it happen a lot more in like Sanjuro and Yojimbo where it's less about the swords and more about the characters but I've never transferred that thinking over to Star Wars. I wish that he would have brought up the fact that the technology they have in Phantom Menace and the new trilogy in general is that the technology (in the movies) far surpasses that in the originals.

You would rather be raped than killed? The choice between being killed and being raped is, to me, an incredibly easy decision. Being killed, even painfully is an ending event. You're killed and it's over. I'm a dude and watching something like that scene in Irreversible with Monica Bellucci terrifies the living crap out of me. Violent rape, to me, is such a terrifying thing to imagine because knowing who I am, I would have an insanely hard time ever going outside, ever meeting new people, actually ever rebuilding my life. I would rather be lit on fire 1000 times than be raped.
