The reason I say this is a trendy viewpont because back in the old days Return of the Jedi didn't receive much criticism from the audience; it was nearly the same widely adored as the previous two films. The critics were less satisfied, but due to their roles they always enlarge the problems and with each sequel they're more and more critical anyway.

Nice to finally have an authority on these matters.

Once again, the loss of credibility for me here is that ROTJ haven't been heavily critisized by the fans for a very-very long time.

So you say it was heavily criticized by fans a very-very long time ago? Damn trendsetters...

Common sense, people!

Yes, common sense please. This is only a movie, it's not your mother or girlfriend that is being critized. Could it just not be a case where some people and fans are able to take a step back and look at a film objectively, does it have to be down to following some sort of a trend? I loved both SW and ESB and still do to this day and was very disappointed by the third film, and I didn't need to over analyze it to come to this conclusion as you suggests. You know, you can dislike certain aspects and even films in this series without some sort of agenda and still be a fan. ROTJ may perhaps not be as sacrosanct to others as it is to you, just as SW and ESB may not be as sacrosanct to others as they are to me.

In the end it's what you think and like about a film that's important, not what others may think of it. I love many films that I know are overall disliked by both critics and audiences but it doesn't stop my enjoyment of it.
