As with AOTC, TPM, STI, etc. When can we expect a page dealing with a scientific run-down of the film and its microscopic additions to Trek Vs. Wars debates?
Wong you compiling one now? Hopefully one in the near future.

Nope, he's waiting for it to come to video, some sort of boycott for the Trek series or something.

Excellent idea; im glad I haven't seen it yet either. I wish to deprive the Trektard world of a little of my cash and wait till it comes out on dvd for $5 at the local Wal Mart on a rack loaded with cheesy action films starring Chuck Norris or Jean Claude Van Damme. Then waste a small portion of my time to get a few chuckles at the stupidity of Star Trek.

I will wait for it to be out of theatres (which I estimate to be another two weeks), out on video (a couple of months), and placed directly in the 7-day rental section for low-demand movies (about a week after that).

So he can get full value for his hard earned money.

By that standard he should wait until he finds a Nemesis tape for free, such as for instance if it was in a dumpster.

Okay, now, Nemesis wasn't that bad, AOTC was probably jus as bad, yet Star Wars does not get as much critism as Star Wars does for its decline.
Why is that?
And yes, I am not talking about B&B and ENT, those are on a field of their own,but Nemesis was enjoyable, unlike those Padme-Anakin scenes(except the one at the fireplace
)

It doesn't?
When TPM and AOTC were released there was
a lot of flak directed at Lucas from quarters ranging from Spacebattles to Usenet and the popular press. Both components of the new trilogy were lambasted for their faults. The only reason the onslaught is directed towards ST rather than SW at the moment is because ST has just had a major bomb...er...release while SW is in the inter-film gap and there's nothing new to discuss.

Actually, Nemesis wasn't all that bad. Parts of it certainly were cringeworthy, but with a bit more work it could have been pretty good. I'd say it's the best of the TNG movies.

I saw it at my local theatre for 3.75. Of course, it was a noon showing on a workday...

I'm sorry to contend that Attack of the Clones was 'just as bad' as Nemesis is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. The Phantom Menace did suck, but to contend that AOTC was on the same level as excrement like Nemesis
Star Wars gets LOTS of criticism- from critics. Critics hate it, yet people like it. In the case of Star Trek, critics hate it, and so do people. Therefore, Star Wars wins.

Yeah Vympel differing in opinion from you must be dumb

Vympel's point was that what Fax said (that SW didn't get bashed by the critics while Nemesis did) was wrong.
Apart from the love scenes that were somehow not exactly right, AOTC
ROCKED

It's dumb to me. Because what I said was obviously subjective. Anyone can feel free to think that the latest excrement from Paramount can stand up to AOTC. Just don't expect someone to let it pass without comment.

*grabs FaxModem by the hair, decks him 3/4 times, throws him against a wall, punches him in the gut, kicks him in the knee, then flings him to the ground. Iggy leans over, stuffs an ornament in FMs mouth, then stands him up and punches him in the jaw, shattering the ornament*
Merry Christmas from your friendly neighborhood assassin droid.

Attack of the Cloes was 40 minutes too long, even the action sequences were comedic and rubbish (that megaman level in the factory), and the Geonosians looked like the Wicked Witch of the West's winged monkeys.
It was the least entertaining Star Wars movie to date (and I even rather liked TPM). the only saving grace is that they should have done all the exposition for EpIII and they can spend two hours getting stuff 'sploded and dudes kicked.

IMO you are clearly delusional, if you think TPM was better
