Why go in the first place!!!
The main reason Spider Man was such a good critically acclaimed movie: Fanboys have been waiting for over 40 years for a movie, there were no expectations, only that it was faithful to the storyline. This is the same reason ANH was such a good movie (although as I recall was not as critically acclaimed as Spidey, but I don't know for when it came out I was -5 years old). It had cool effect and IMO it had the same problems some critics are 'groaning' about SW: some bad dialogue, love scenes did not work, it was mostly a visual movie, not really that deep....OF COURSE IS A VISUAL MOVIE, IS A SUPER HERO! Maybe is the NY setting, but from teh trailers Coruscant looks a lot more impressive than NY.
Oh AOTC doesn't have the epic feel the original have, nor is it that deep. Wait a second, if I am not correct Epics are universal works that appeal to every generation for they have universal teachings. The Illiad is beside a bloody book of war, a book about envy, good, bad, courage, fury and honor. All that is Star WArs.
I ain't bitching about the critics, they can go and get new jobs for all I care. I just don't like ppl going into the theater already byassed and looking for the bad things, instead of the wonderful things! If the movie sucks then say it: IT SUCKS! Don't tell me, it has great visuals, it is fun, but it sucks because it does not live up to the OT, and so I give it half a star.
