| I'm sorry, but this topic is just stupid. Of course the newest movies aren't the same quality as the original trilogy. They have to tell the story of how Anikin became Vader and that's pretty much it. What were you expecting? Plot twists? We knew how the series "ended" so there was never any mystery in the new trilogy. |
I don't see how the ending being predetermined excuses the incoherent, disjointed, boring mess that were the prequels. Knowing that Malcolm X was going to die didn't prevent Spike Lee from making a great movie about him. |
The general consensus for the prequels, along with the latest Indy flick is that George Lucas was never approached or challenged at any stage in the development and execution of the films. He was basically a two year old with a $100 million box of Crayola...and a plate of spaghetti. With no diaper. On crack. |
