Finally someone defending TPM: http://movies.ign.com/articles/121/1218394p1.html

I actually agree with most of the article. Now, don't get me wrong. I don't love TPM, and I still think it's the worst of the saga. But I feel like it get's a lot more hate than it should, especially from this website.

Also, truth be told, I was a kid when I first saw TPM so...

The article's mostly okay except leaning a little hard on a few strawmen for counterarguments. Our favorite hyperbolic child-crime claim makes a showing, of course, and then there's this disingenuous bit: "I don't understand the rationale that something existing separately tarnishes the impact or greatness of the original." They must not have had enough room to include the text "except for when the original is taken away and hidden in a dusty vault for eternity, never to be seen again."

That said, it's better than most editorials along these lines.
