The original films were fun (from the standpoint of a viewer).2. The new films (so far) aren't.All of the convolated apoletics that the films are crappy because they're supposed to be (because their source material was after all crappy), or that they're really for kids, or that we just don't get it...or worst of all blaming the fans for not liking the films because they had the audacity to *gasp* expect something actually worthwhile is mind boggling to me.The new films are shiny and pretty and absolutely lack any substance. Great visuals are wonderful, but they are meaningless if in the end you don't care about the characters.So far for me the original trilogies are essentially junk food of the worst sort...empty calories.</blockquote>
