Someone asked me in the "sick of prequel bashing" thread why I think the prequels are good films. Here is why: they are just as moving and fun, if not more so, than the Original trilogy.

For God's sake, that doesn't make them good films. That makes them films that you enjoy. There are plenty of movies that I love which I know are straight up bad films. That doesn't ruin my enjoyment of them. There are black and white reasons why these films don't work as an effective narrative and creating another thread only makes your ability to argue look weak. Stop (or leave) before you make yourself look worse.

I am sorry but there is no such thing as universally good or bad film. An estimation of a film is completely subjective and based on individual opinion. There is no objective measure according to which one could estimate the quality of the film. It not a science where you have a clear definition what a voltage is and then you can compare two voltages measured in volts and say this one is higher... All you can do with film is generalise multiple opinions (IMDb, Oscars, etc.) which is in the end just as subjective as an individual opinion.

I agree that there is a grey area when comparing many films, but there are both subjective and objective ways to critique film. I'm heading out of those house but I'll be back if you wanna talk more about it.
