I think his points were very well-articulated and supported, and yet I'm not surprised to see responses that amount to, "You're wrong, I don't care about the things that bother you and I think ROTJ is awesome!"

Obvious brushstrokes in a matte painting on an HD screen in 2011 is a valid criticism, especially when mattes have been selectively replaced elsewhere. The lack of dramatic tension is also a very valid point that he effectively supports, even referring to earlier drafts of the script to show how such issues could've been resolved.

 

"Doesn't make or break the movie."

Maybe not on his own, but then again, that wasn't his point. None of these criticisms on their own make or break the movie, but when considered all together, they form a pretty reasonable critique of the quality of ROTJ.

 

"2. Ewoks are awesome. Get over it."

What kind of response is that? You're just flaming the guy for articulating his opinion in an intelligent and reasonable way.

 

sonnyboo, thanks for sharing your review.
