Blatantly refusing points of view other than your own makes no sense either.

Anyway, on to ROTJ:

- BAD: Horrible (and horribly out of place) CGI and a crappy song do not improve crappy puppet-work and a good song. Interrupts the flow of the movie.
- BAD: At least they didn't show the Rancor. But I still think they shouldn't have even showed what was down there.
- BAD: Oh, great. They made Boba a womanizing clone now, did they?
- NEUTRAL: Pointless but unobtrusive.
- BAD: A beak? A BEAK?!?! I'm all for a couple more tentacles or animating the old ones better, but...a BEAK?!?!?!
- BAD: "It's all right. I can see a lot better," is a poor joke and substitute for the "It's all right. Trust me. Don't move," which fits better in the context of the tense sequence.
- GOOD: Ah...no more black R2-D2...in some shots....(consistency, LFL, consistency)
- BAD: Praxis again! WTF?
- BAD: The Empire as a whole wouldn't fall this fast, and would Bespin (sic?) care? NO!
- BAD: See above. And more of the city-expansion...ugh...
- BAD: Oh, look, it's a planet we've never seen before! What? Episode...one? Huh? Two more years, eh? Why the hell are they putting that in now?
- NEUTRAL (Luke&Wedge shot): Hm...didn't notice it...

Music Change: GOOD - As much as I liked Yub Nub (or Yub Yub), it didn't fit as an ending to the saga. This doesn't really either, I'd've rather seen something like the Force theme or something like that, but meh, this is better.

That's 13 good, 10 both/neutral/meh, and 29 bad...hmm...since one was counted good and bad (Luke's scream) those cancel each other out so that's 24% good, 56% bad and 20% neutral...which turns out to be 56% bad and 44% not bad...hmm....Lucasfilm, work on it...(actually that's a higher good percentage than I predicted when I started but still, if it's not 75%+ good, it's no good.
