[QUOTE="Ristamar, post: 185359, member: 1207"] I don't know how much stock I'd put in the scores of the movies in the original trilogy. I'm not saying I disagree with them, but perhaps if the reviews would have been tallied when those movies first came out, I'd put more faith in them. However, plenty of critics revised their original opinions (whether they had given a formal review or not) of the films years after they were released and became almost universally beloved by the movie-going public. Bad mouthing a film that's essentially considered a classic would be pretty stupid. Also, keep in mind that plenty of today's critics seemingly don't know their a** from a hole in the ground. Let's take a look at the esteemed reviewers from EW... first, Lisa Schwarzbaum. This woman is supposedly one of the 'Cream of the Crop' reviewers. She gave [i]Attack of the Clones[/i] a C+, which apparently scores as a 'rotten' review. She also gave [i]Fight Club[/i] a D and [i]Crossroads[/i] (yes, the Britney Spears movie) a B+. Owen Gleiberman, another 'Cream of the Crop' reviewer from EW, gave [i]O Brother, Where Art Thou[/i] an F and Deep Blue Sea (the [i]Jaws[/i] ripoff) a B-. As I glance over these very odd scores, one thing comes to mind -- movie critics don't know jack ****. Basically, don't worry about what some moron from the New York Times, or any other supposedly esteemed critic, has to say about the movie, and don't worry about tallying positive vs. negative reviews. Just go watch it with an open mind, and for a few hours, be a kid again. [/QUOTE]
