This page is surely the first in years on JWFan to feature not one, but two contributing female posters.
 
And naturally, gkgyver was there in rare form.

@JohnSolo people are allowed to hold their own opinions, one moving being better than another is an opinion, not a fact.  Don't belittle others for holding opinions different than their own
 
@gkgyver WTF man?  Stop insulting other board member's personally, its against the rules.  Your posts have indeed been quite toxic lately, you need to chill out!

I'm just over here like, "All this over a discussion about which of the two children's films were better scored?"
 
 
 

It's best to ignore gkgyver.  He's probably the most toxic member here.

And statements like what he said are contributing factors as to why a lot of people like me don't stick around here. 

Wow, steady on there. Really uncalled for to make comments like this.

Sorry, even within the innocuous confines of this thread i would find that embarrassing. If you enter the lofty arena of waging art, culture and film assessment you can be expected to come up with an argument that at least reads compelling - to state there is no objective measure for great and not so great art (fair) while in the same sentence make an exception for movies because these - really - require "competence and coherence" (wut?) is just too twee for words. 
 
Of course you can rate, measure and frame every piece of art to any specific criteria you elect to do so, mainly by looking at the history of the artform, as it is the easiest yardstick. Competence and coherence are qualities that you may wish to find in this artform but these are hardly essential for a masterpiece of art, even more, the absence of them can make a work of art as well. Though all these discussions that have engaged many brilliant heads over the years certainly are squandered on either Harry Potter or The Phantom Menace, though at least you can give TPM props for trying, if only in technical categories.

How to discredit yourself (and most of the prequels haters) in one sentence.

I hope you were severely drunk when you came up with this beauty.
 

Objectivity in art... haha
Go tell that to Van gogh. Oh wait. He killed himself because both the art experts and the public considered his painting were objectively bad... If experts say they are it must be true then.

Sexism!

Philosopher's Stone is a better constructed movie in a technical artistic sense, but it is also an imperfect adaptation of a better book. Phantom Menace is the original, not based on superior source material (unless you count the OT, but that is not the same story in the way of HP). It has a lot of wild and amazing ideas, images, places, characters, in it (Darth Maul for God's sake!). Phantom Menace is more of a mess, absolutely, but it is also more creative because it is the origin of the creativity. It was also a massive technical achievement at the time, albeit rapidly dated. 
Just my female opinions! 

Awesome !

Indeed I am. xD

Looks tasty. The Mingus, Stax, and Scott Walker proms, look good, too.
No DW, though 

I'm not talking about the choirs I'm talking about the other motif heard AFTER the choirs and when Palpatine kills Mace ! 

The Spark is awesome! It actually is making me like Luke and Leia, my most hated JW theme!

It's good!
 
About halfway through right now, and am really enjoying the mix of themes, old and new. For what it's worth, it's making a stronger first impression on me than The Force Awakens.

It hasn’t leaked

At the end ?

You just come across as a troll at this point. You’re randomly putting down a movie that hasn’t even come out yet, for seemingly no reason other than to be dramatic. “I’m in this forum thread because I’m not watching a movie.” Who says something like that? That seems completely irrelevant; you’re just being purposefully contrarian.

Well Anakin was the one always complaining so...

Yeaaah I'm sure the soundtrack album will be mad that a human is listening to him, your comparison is totally justified.
Also what's wrong with weird? Being weird is awesome ! That just a fancy word to say different from the mass.
