I didn't really attempt to carry this as far as I wanted to in my previous post, but I think it is worth discussing.  While Clone Wars has gotten nearly universally bad reviews, most of them can't seem to agree on why it's bad.  I tend to agree with a lot of the general views that have already been expressed here about movie reviews:  that you can't rely on them to match your opinion or even be more than that one person's opinion, but if a lot of them all say the same thing, then it's probably something to take with a little more value.  So does the fact that, while all the reviews are bad, but hardly any can agree on exactly why, lend credence to the opinion that it's "bad" or do the wildly different specifics serve to slightly invalidate that?  Of course, I'll need some help from those who have actually seen it, since I can't really contribute much beyond this observation.

EDIT:  Oh, and to Johnboy's typo, I just thought you were doing a new twist on an old favorite when I first read it.  ^_~

I think the one thing all the negative reviews of the Clone Wars (or at least the ones I've read) have is that they share the opinion that Star Wars today is a far cry from what it once was. And I'd agree with that 100%.
