[QUOTE="Gizzard, post: 184854, member: 527"] Random thought: Heres the ratings of the various movies from the rottentomatos website (which is an average based on the published reviews of a big bunch of national critics AFAIK) Star Wars 97% Empire Strikes Back 97% Return of the Jedi 79% Phantom Menace 58% I went to check this out after reading a messages in this thread that claimed, "you're just looking at the old Star Wars through rose-colored nostalgia glasses" or alternately, "TPM wasnt a bad movie by itself." (For what its worth, I figured all these film critics would be a more impartial judge than us D&D geeks. :-) Its an interesting excercise; if you use the sorting algorithms you can see what other recent sci-fi movies fall close to TPM scorewise (Pitch Black 54%, Jurassic Park III 50% for example) and what other movies got high ratings (X-Men 77%, Harry Potter 79%, LotR 96%). For the record, I'd agree with these ratings give or take 5 points. Back to the original subject; I sure hope the next movie is good. If you follow the trend line though, the next one should be rated just below 40%. That puts it in the same league as The Cell (38%). Hmmm. Still hoping anyway. :-) [/QUOTE]
