Honestly shocked to see how many people here like the prequels. I just saw them for the first time about a year ago and found the first two to be outright awful. Everyone I know grew up with them and told me that the hatred was overblown and that they were actually decent films, but I don't know if I've ever had as much trouble sitting through a movie as I did with TPM and AotC. RotS is the only movie worth watching out of the three.
It's actually called being capable of forming your own view as opposed to following the masses.
The argument I have always had tossed my way is that I need to go and watch a series of ridiculously over-long video reviews, and apparently
then I will change my mind.
Once you're at that point in your life, that it's supposedly a requirement for anyone with a differing opinion to watch some absurdly long video reviews, you should realise than that it may be time to just - move on.
At the end of the day, though, you are entitled to whatever opinion you do want to have in regard to these films. But there's nothing shocking about people liking them.
Big part has to do with nostalgia. Lots of people grew up with the prequel movies.
I grew up watching the original trilogy. My earliest memories are of my video tapes
before the Special Editions. Which I also liked, when the films were re-released.
So no, it isn't nostalgia. I enjoyed the films - give or take a couple of off scenes, but I can apply that same criticism to the Original Trilogy as well - and, once again, as I may have said many times, I'm not likely to change my mind anytime soon.
And apologies to anyone else who reads this, and feels I've been a little combative in my responses. I'm actually starting to feel that the bigger joke isn't those of us that actually like the Prequels. It's people who find it oh so
"shocking" that we do, and then come up with the excuses for us why we like them.
As if we don't, you know, know ourselves well enough.
