I really can’t believe that people are defending the prequels as decent watchable movies on this thread.It’s as if people have opinions that are different than yours. Woah!
Thank god someone reminded him this.
Hands down, my biggest issue with our forum is how much people get disrespected for not agreeing with a certain opinion. If someone hates Rogue One, they get bashed. I loved it, but don’t give a crap if someone else hates it. I discuss it with them to understand why they disliked it, which results in a civil and respectful discussion.
And the hate that prequel lovers get is ridiculous. I think episodes 1 and 2 are god awful films that will make most humans cringe every other scene. But I have no issue with someone liking or loving them. I just hope we can all quit the bashing of the people who like the new Disney movies and quit with the bashing of prequel lovers. We should create a forum where everyone’s opinion is respected and not throw a hissy fit whenever someone disagrees with you.
Sorry for the rant but I’m fed up with seeing this sort of behavior in so many threads.
I see your point, but you do have to admit that the prequels are objectively bad and the other films objectively are not.
There’s a huge problem assuming that there is an objective way of grading movies. An objective scientific fact measures something that is absolutely correct for all people.
For example, Apples fall when dropped from your hand on earth. They fall at a rate of 9.81 m/s^2. But with movies, if they are also objective, then that would mean that there is a definitive grade for every movie. A definitive, universally correct scale as to measure the merit of every film. Who decides this grade? What does that mean for the value of other opinions?
Bottom line is…most people do accept that certain things make a movie great. Such as good characters, good story and well written dialogue. But what people consider to be good characters and story differs so much between each person and each movie for an individual. Everybody goes in with different things they want from a movie. So obviously, they experience the film a different way. None of them are wrong. They simply disagree. I’m with you on the prequels. Most people actually are. But there is no such thing as an objective measurement of how good a movie is that applies to everyone. That’s the key thing.
