ESB on the other hand was very divided. Some loved it, some liked it, many did not. It still was overall favoured by it was very divided. ROTJ on the other hand was viciously criticised--there were still plenty who liked it, but the amount of backlash was almost as bad as the PT. I had to look up all the original reviews for a project I'm working on and ending up reading about 20 or so reviews for each from both major and minor newspapers. But ANH did not get bad reviews, in the general sense. It was one of the most praised film of the decade. Godfather and American Graffiti got a few negative reviews too, but like Star Wars 90% of them were absolutely glowing.
