Attack of the Clones Eviscerated by Famous Phantom Menace Hater
We've introduced you before to Mike of Milwaukee, the internet critic that made something that could have been awful -- a 7-part, 70-minute video series on the failings of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace -- into something like a cathartic work of art. Naturally, it was only matter of time before Mike turned his knives on Attack of the Clones, and if you can skip past the unnecessary live-action interludes that allude to Mike's propensity to chop up women (stick to what works, Mike!), it's another keeper. Are we the only ones who picture Barth from You Can't Do That On Television when listening to these? [via Hollywood Elsewhere]

Wow I couldn't stop watching spite the voice
I actually love his creepy character.
I got through 5 parts; it was very good. I would have preferred it in a single video file, though, and then I could have watched it with my own video player on my TV.
It sounds more like a drunken Larry Flynt
he sounds like kevin from the office haha.
The live action parts are absolutly neccesary, they keep it from turning into a yet another geek rant about a sci fi movie. If he didn't have those I don't think anyone would be able to get through the whole thing unless you were really into Star Wars.
"...and if you can skip past the unnecessary live-action interludes that allude to Mike’s propensity to chop up women (stick to what works, Mike!)"
He did that in the first set of videos as well.
Also, it wasn't 10 parts it was 7 10minute episodes.
Don't meant to sound like a jerk, just pointing that out, and thanks for the heads up on the new content.
Actually, I keep thinking of Kissel from the Jerky Boys.
If this thing is anything like the other one, it is well worth the time it takes to watch the whole thing. I hope this one continues the "critic as a serial killer" subplot.
He keeps calling Jango Fett "Boba"...! Jango= the elder Fett! Boba = the son who becomes the bounty hunter in episodes V & VI !
the jango/boba mixup seems intentional - see also "padame" "amidalan" "amidama" "doko"
I keep hearing a little bit of Strong Bad in his voice. Just me, maybe.
Yeah...that was the missing ingredient that would make the film lucid.
Lol on part 2.
"Come to any conclusions yet?... PALPATINE IS BEHIND IT ALL."
Seriously I realized that in the first movie, which kind of ruined the whole prequel in the first place.
First off.... never have I enjoyed a film review so much, the interspersed scenes are a work of genius. They really hold the whole thing together and make it feel like your watching any episode of Star Wars when you've smoked too much... Nice!
Secondly (and Troll like) @ Sean McAndrew - you're obviously the next Sherlock Holmes, and I salute you! Ian McDiarmid is the emperor from A New Hope onwards.... go figure...
"...and if you can skip past the unnecessary live-action interludes that allude to Mike’s propensity to chop up women (stick to what works, Mike!), it’s another keeper."
He's satirizing the nerd as the quiet, violent creep in the basement that has the time and Asberger's-level intensity to focus and eviscerate shitty science fiction movies (not saying all SF is bad).
I would agree that the subplot is not necessary, but there's no reason he should discontinue it because it does, in fact, work.
yer an idiot...
this is good i really like it it is funny i like the star wars movies but now i understand why a lot of people don't it's entertaining like independance day the day after tomorrow 2012 men in black anyway it is what it it is i like it and sadnfviurwvbnfm,c ,
I truly love films I weren't able to really live without...
I must say i love films I weren't able to really live without...
I must say i love movies I couldn't really live without...
YES.
Very yes.
good call bro, knock down a couple cold ones for me
Cartoon Network has the Clone Wars TV show, but he didn't use any clips or references to it. Also, the removal of only Part 1 is absurd in my eyes. What have they accomplished?
I've only watched the first segment so far and I'm completely mesmerized. Yes, I'm going to spend an hour and a half watching this whole thing.
This hasn't hit Digg yet? It seemed like half of the internet flocked to his review Saturday nigh
