quote: Absolutely NOT true for me. Subsequent SW films will do absolutely NOTHING to make TPM seem better (Jake Lloyd's "acting" will still be godawful, Jar Jar will still be annoying, the script will still be pathetically weak and include fart jokes, etc.). In fact, if the later films turn out to be better than TPM, they will only make it MORE obvious how bad TPM is. The idea that they will somehow magically "transform" the above mentioned flaws is ludicrous.[/quote]
I think it would be hard to make an argument that ANY Star Wars scripts were worthy of a screenwriting award. I'm sorry if one fart joke ruins an entire movie for you, I do remember the kids in the audience thinking it was funny.
You want bad acting? Try watching the scene in ROTJ where Luke tells Leia that she's his sister. "I know.....somehow, I've always known."
So she knew he was her brother but she still felt the need to make out with him in ESB to make Han jealous.
I guess my point is that ALL of the films have their flaws. Some people can appreciate them warts and all and some cannot. I will wait until all of the films are released to pass judgement on them.
Bottom line: The movies haven't changed. We have.
