Dont get me wrong, im not saying you have to enjoy ROTS, or that you even cant express your dislike for it. by all means go ahead. But when people say reasons they didnt like it was because of a characters name (plus Darth Pagueous was way worse a name then General Grevious) or because of unrealistic gravity on a space ship that is nitpicking and there is a difference between nitpicking and venting about a movie you didnt like that you may have truely wanted to like. But i also get the impression that a lot of people (not saying people here or anyone inparticular, but more in general) will not give the PT's any real chance after their dissapointment in Episode I (a dissapointment you had to expect in the first place, cause it would never be able to meet up with 25 years of hype no matter how good it was, nor would any movie). Did i like it? yes, ive said so before. Do i have problems with it? or did I think parts were week/cheesey? Yes. But I choose to generally overlook those. Even though i liked it I still like to discuss aspects of it, and throw opinions back and forth with people that disagree with me. as it allows me to see aspects i havent noticed before. But when those are negative do i let them get in the way of my original feeling after the movie? No, It may alter it slighty but it rarely if ever stops me from liking the movie at all.
Im not trying to be all high and mighty, or lecture people that dont like the movie and force them to like it. You dont like it thats no skin off my back. I just think some of the reasons being stated for not liking it are trivial and dont really affect the movie as a whole. Maybe that was just the straw the broke the camels back type thing, i dunno.
Sorry for the slight rant, I appreciate that you dont take over threads that speak positivly about the movie and trash the people that liked it and their opinions. Im not trying to take over this thread and apologize if this comes across that way, but I think i understand where sean wookie was coming from with his comment about all movies being dissapointing to some extent and just wanted to make it clear that i may refute and say things agains your arguements im not trying to change you opinion and force you to like the movie, or take away your right to vent about it.
So vent away (not that you need my permission) just try not to nitpick to much, thats how you get an ulcer
