Re: the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW
I found myself thinking "Jeez, if they'd spent as much thought on the plot as the effects, it'd be watchable." The effects weren't innovative, but they were spectacular.

We're gonna have to disagree there.

bad plot + great execution=at best a decent movie
Great plot + poor execution=at best a decent movie.
Again you're beef with Star Wars is only the acting. Bad acting alone should not make a movie's quality go down as much as you think it should. The actual plot and execution was good the acting subpar.

Re: the longest thread, thread - Occasionally NSFW
I'll come back when I try to understand what the hell Target is saying...and anyways aren't we listening to someone's viewpoints about movies who claimed not to like the Godfather while admitting he had never actually seen the movie?
I also feel compelled to say the following:
Original Star Wars: Great movies
the New Star Wars: Crappy movies with various highlights such as Yoda fighting.
