This reminds me of some guys review for return of the jedi from 1983 i saw on youtube. He said it was "malodrous awful" whatever the hell that means.

But when he talked about the trilogy being only special effects and the actors walking through their roles robotically i instantly thought of the prequels.

You want to talk about poor direction episodes 1-3 are pretty damning examples.

Lucas is not alone either war of the worlds, 1941 and crystal skull were crap and were directed by the legendary director of hit films Spielberg.

Some films critics unfairly hate on like Willow and Return of the Jedi, and The Temple of Doom, The last crusade i liked all those movies. I did not like Howard the Duck, however once i tracked down a copy of the star wars holiday special it made howard look like the best film ever made. Seriously who wrote that garbage and what the hell were they on?
