I disagree with that 90% number. All the guy did was MST3000 the plot, characters and dialogue.

I dislike Avatar, but I doubt you could find that many plotholes with it. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other well received film that could be torn apart like this.

- Could you nitpick 90% of movies to a much lesser degree? Sure. Could you completely tear apart 90% of movies the same way? No. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 10:13 7
  - Yeah. Pretty much. I didn't say 90% were as bad, just that 90% can't stand that level of scrutiny. (nm) - musubi Jan 13, 10:22 1
    - Ahhh. We agree. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 10:23
  - He didn't completely tear it apart. If you took that to be an unbiased and evenhanded dismantling, I don't know what to tell you. -- nm - TFox Jan 13, 10:15 4

    - except if did it unfairly, people would be pointing at the things he's taking apart and saying "Wait, he did that because..." - Reagen Jan 13, 10:23
    - You're right - in reality, he looked at it the wrong way, and *it fucking fell apart on its own* ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 13, 10:21
    - He did thrash it, but I never said it was unbiased or even handed. He clearly thought the movie sucked. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 10:18
well towards the end he does get into stuff Lucas put in that shows he doesn't understand why Star Wars became popular. - Reagen Jan 13, 10:07 1
- The one that cuts deepest imo was when he showed (spoils) - musubi Jan 13, 10:24
