And I defenitely don't believe in all these online extremes some go to with "best movie ever" "subtle nuances" "Worst ever" Even Pure Trash movies have some entertainment value of course. It's when you take into account how easily that Pure Trash could have been Pure Terrificness that it becomes wasted potential.
I'll use batman forever as an example. It's a very entertaining, well made film, nice fx and stuff etc., but when you as a fan step back and look at the big rubber butt cheeks of batman and realize how wrong it is, it's not so easy to like it much anymore. I did have a blast at BF, but it truly is a horrible batman film. What a world, ain't it?
The parts of the SE that do what they're supposed to do and enhance the original movie, not change it into a cartoony crap fest, those I did like. you know, just that non-intrusive practiacally the same as the original but with better graphics, that sort of thing... It's like playing a new version of pacman with a 3D pacman but the same exact gameplay as before I guess.
I only hope Lucas realizes some day maybe that all that money he spends to add more and more cartoony crap to the OT came out of people who truly loved and cared for his original films. Of course his army of yes men and online sycophants will defend everything he does to damage the trilogy that people love with excuses like "oh that part was crap but it didn't ruin the whole movie" *sigh* After years online I've concluded that yes it does. It ruins the integrity of not only the movie itself, the original it came from, but its creator too to let such poor decisions get out to the public. It's a shame we are sitting here today some of us and there are kids in this world who will watch their friend's star wars dvd and see that green guy miss with a laser gun at point blank range. That is truly unforgivable in my opinion. I really bought into the excuses by some very intimidating (most likely lucas interns) online who'd just brush it off like it was nothing, but it's a huge something to me. I originally wanted the original trilgoy preserved for myself but as I get older, I realize it's not just about preserving it for me. Star Wars deserves better than what it's being given and no studio intern will convince me otherwise.
