Chris Stuckmann is the movie reviewer. He reviews movies on his movie review channel.

## History

### PreFAP

Stuckmann mainly makes reviews of movies and TV shows on his YouTube channel. At one point he was on Channel Awesome, but no longer is.

### Foreshadowing

MauLer would periodically reference Chris Stuckmann as someone who made very standard movie reviews - not necessarily bad, or wrong, just very surface-level and substanceless.

### Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones - Movie Review

In the *Attack* *of the Clones* portion of the as of yet unfinished Prequel Arc, MauLer gave two choices for videos to cover - one from someone they know and one from someone they don't know. The lineup decided on going with one they know (though MauLer clarified they never actually covered any videos before), and MauLer let the intro speak for itself. Chris Stuckmann's intro music was instantly recognizable, and MauLer, Rags, AnomalyInc, and Theo spent the duration of EFAP 88 using Chris' video as a vehicle for discussion.

Part of his prequel series leading up to the release of The Force Awakens

Phantom Menace lessened the blow of Attack of the Clones by being bad - people were still hoping for it to be good though

this watch fixed in few places, like by having Jar Jar in only couple of scenes

movie was bad since it had greenscreens and bad dialogue - not too much greenscreen but odd usage, should use examples of dialogue

people awaited Anakin's turn towards the Dark Side, but movie is mostly about the romance

Dooku is not part of the Jedi anymore, so does that mean you can leave the Jedi? so if his not part of the Jedi, could his morals change? how come Mace Windu, all powerful Jedi be so dumb that not to suspect someone he thinks is good person? Windu should know because he's "all-powerful" - movie confirms his morals changed, Windu was assuming the best

Anakin's acting is bad, could be the script or the actor. He thinks it's the actor and that George choose him because George cant see lack of talent in the guy, who has not improved his acting since his childhood - skit of George watching Hayden as a child acting stiffly, which goes on for a while - acting wasn't even that awful

assassin is the worst since he uses worms instead of gas - correct about the worms, launched convo about worms vs blaster

chase with the assassin was okay, but was in video game-like city - backwards, CG is fine, but chase is bad, Obi Wan jumps out a window

does Obi Wan hate Anakin jumping off cars? is that something he does often because he hates when he does it?

if Jango can kill shapeshifter from far away, why didn't he shoot Padme? he wouldn't use worms.

people walking and talking exposition is bad

George didn't do right Anakin's turning more towards Dark Side, as he acts like a whiny brat and gives creeper smiles to Padme.

if Jedi can't fall in love, how can they procreate? do they just look for people to breed with? it's dumb

why was Anakin sent to the most romantic mission ever if he is not allowed to love? Padme is wearing revealing outfits, which is her pretty much asking Anakin to be attracted to her

if they are in love, why does Anakin not hide his padawan braid if Jedi are not allowed to love?

Sifo-Dyas is never brought up again

romance dialogue is most stilted he has ever heard

sees Anakin's love as "creeper love"

Kid Boba's acting is bad, but he doesn't explain how, just lets you figure it out as he doesn't want to go into it

other Jedi are just siting in room doing nothing

likes Obi Wan fight with Jango as it looks silly

flying through asteroids is not as intense as in OT where it was said to be difficult. no suspense, no buildup, no nothing

Jedi are just robots, as they can't love or have nightmares, but can just sit around and talk

first appearance on screen of Dooku should have been frightening and foreboding, bit its just handsome old gentleman sitting around and talking about politics. not cool enough for Chris.

Anakin killing Tusken Raiders is too short, but that's because it's a PG movie. scene of him carrying his dead mother is great, but his acting when he says he hates them is bad.

Jar Jar being involved with political meeting is bad. everything is jar jars fault, empire was his fault. George really messes up things.

conveyor belt scene has Padme in barrel and Anakin swinging his lightsaber around in some weird dance moves. George shot the scene on the fly, but so did Spielberg did with Raiders of the Lost Ark, but his scene was simpler, so Spielberg did it better. another movie that came at the same time did the conveyor belt scene better.

instead of killing Padme and Anakin, they put them in coliseum.

Jando Fett died abruptly, like Boba.

watching the movie is like watching *Roger Rabbit*, as its real people talking to characters that are not there

Dooku's lightsaber fight is the worst fight in the series, as they just twirl the lightsabers and Dooku is played by stunt double.

Yoda fight is bad since he believes that Jedi shouldn't attack, nor should he be doing barrel rolls in fight.

movie is worse since it doesn't have Darth Maul fight.

movie is C- as it has good things compared to *Phantom Menace*, but also has lot of bad things too, so its equal to the first movie
