***If you don't like the Star Wars movies, George Lucas or a combination of the two, don't go see them and don't review them. And the excuse of "I'm a reviewer. It's my job." is not acceptable -- get another job. But first, you need to get a life.This is as silly as it gets. One needs to experience that - well, film - to know he hates it. I didn't see the first one or perhaps even the second one - forgive me for not praying to the list - but when the - I believe the third one - came out, I went. I think it was around 1981 or so, so I am sure you would know which one I was mistoftunate to see.
If I didn't - how would I know just what kind of "film" that was? Problem was, I read many reviews and I thought it was something worth seeing, that is why I went. I even took my kid with me.
It is perfectly right, and even much more - important!, to call junk junk, as one sees it. Thank God for people like Michael Medved, or we all would be just reading the Ebert "stuff".
