| Darashiva said: The one thing I took out of this was that the prequel trilogy got way too good reviews. Revenge of the Sith is the only halfway decent film in that trilogy, and I still wouldn't call it a good movie. I won't say anything about Rise of the Skywalked until I actually see it. |
Prequels totally got reviewed with kiddie gloves on. The first two also had built in excuses for TPM it was "well of course it's a silly kids movie, Anakin is only 9! You can't judge it so harshly!".
For AOTC that then shifted to "Ok that wasn't great but Yoda fighting was bad ass! You had to at least enjoy that! And this one doesn't have Jar Jar or the kid actor so you can't review it lower by default and just let it go the next movie is where Vader shows up and will be the darker, more serious movie you want"
Then ROTS was "well ok, some things there didn't work, but you can't say that wasn't better than TPM or AOTC! And we get to see Vader become Vader! And it ties in to the original movies! Remember how great the originals are! You have to give it a better score than TPM and AOTC."
