But how do these prequels movies always get worse on more viewings? And whenever I want to watch them, it is more like an obligation that I am trying like hell to watch them 1-6. I am forcing myself to watch movies that I know aren't that great, but it is my inner soul that keeps telling me you have to watch them 1-6.
Whenever I watch the OT, I WANT to watch them, I enjoy watching them, after the movie is done, I feel I have utterly enjoyed the last two hours. With the Prequels, I shake my head at the god awful moments in the movies and just wonder, "When did SW become this bad in sections of movies?"
There are some great stuff in the Prequels, but that doesn't make them great movies. I wonder if we could do a fan edit of just stuff that was great from the 3 movies, and have the Prequel Montage before watching Episode 4-6.
I guess I got depressed watching ROTS on HBO because I really thought Lucas was going to hit a homerun with this one, and really had high expectations, and did like it at first. But the more times I see it, UGGGGH.
