TFA: And on that note, man, TFA gets both… under and overrated? Like, it’s hard to be someone who takes the middle ground on it. I will start with saying that I think people who say it is as good as or better than ROJ are crazy (no offense). That comparison isn’t close to me.
I think many people here who say it’s close or better than Jedi wouldn’t give TFA a much higher score than you did, they would just give Jedi a much lower score.
Jedi constantly goes from ups to downs; Jabba’s palace - silly musical number (even in the original version) - Sarlacc pit action - boring briefing scene - speeder bike chase - Ewok village - Grand finale; while TFA is much more consistent overall, but may lack a scene with the impact of Vader’s redemption. Personally, I enjoy a “solid-but-not-great” movie a bit more than a movie that makes me constantly think “how could they waste such a potential?”.
