You know, there are some people - such as myself - that feel a nostalgia towards ROTJ because it was the first they saw (my first SW experience was the SE theater release). I just wanted to defend ROTJ; it really doesn't deserve hate it gets.
And, being 5 at the time, I absolutely LOVED The Phantom Menace. It is definitely as corellian said: light-hearted, adventure-filled, innocent fun.
I'm not saying ROTJ/TPM was better than ESB (although when it comes to the original I have trouble deciding...), but my opinion remains: TPM and ROTJ were *NOT* weak movies.
