In Reply to: Saw it. If you like "Star Wars" movies, this is a marvelous one. posted by Ears on May 21, 2002 at 00:36:13:
Lord of the Rings (9)
Spider-Man (8.5)
Original Star Wars (8)
Empire Strikes Back (8)
Return of the Jedi (& Ellie Mae's furry friends) (6.5)
Phantom Mensa (4)
Attack of the Groans (5)>>> "If you're not a fan (of Star Wars) you probably won't care for it." <<<
That's "probably" an assumption most die hard fans employ to blunt criticism. Perhaps I'm atypical of those who consider themselves fans of the original movie, but I sincerely doubt it. As you can see by the subjective ratings I've given the series, I have a much stronger appreciation for the earlier movies. Does that make one a fan or not? Well, I am a fan of good filmmaking above all else (i.e., that includes direction, acting, dialogue, plot, pacing and, in service to the plot, believeable special effects).
>>> "I will say that all the negative chirping of the critics is exaggerated." <<<
Not at all! Many of the negative critical reviews were dead on! If the criticism had been favorable my expectations would've been far greater and my disappointment that much worse.
IMHO, the Star Wars series jumped the shark some time ago.
