i give them chances all the time, and they still manage to disappoint me. YMMV.
You're correct DAS- I think many people here at the forums forget that most (if not all) of us were BEYOND willing to give TPM a chance. In fact I'd wager we gave (and give) a heckuva lot more chances to all the PT films than most people would have. We must have- we continue to talk about them here.
If TPM would have been released *without* the 1997 SEs having been released I would have given it much more of a chance. But the SEs made me wary of what was to come. Then actually *seeing* TPM I shrugged- I was greatly disappointed but not devastated; after all they ARE just films. Then I, like many others, gave AOTC a chance... again I was there on opening night. Again I was disappointed. A logical person would have stopped giving chances at that point. And yet there I was again, at midnight on the opening day of ROTS. Another chance. Another personal disappointment. Some liked it, some hated it and some in between... but we are the people who gave it a 'chance'.
