The sequel trilogy are among the most disappointing, poorly executed blockbuster films I've ever seen. No exaggeration. Horribly planned, so many unresolved and unnecessary and unexplained things.
Eh, I had fun watching them. But that’s probably because I watch them to have fun and be entertained by suspending reality for a few hours. I try not to expect a Sci Fi move to be Citizen Kane. If one expects cinematic gold, documentary accuracy, acting genius, and plot perfection from a movie that has light sabers, well then I guess you are just going to be disappointed. I don’t have the frickin time or money to spend on watching something that I have set impossible standards for. I just sit back and enjoy the ride . JMO
I do not expect citizen Kane, cinematic gold, documentary accuracy, acting genius, or plot perfection. I still was immensely let down by the sequel trilogy. And it having lightsabers doesn’t excuse bad writing.
Never said I excused anything....I just tend to have my expectations a bit more realistic than many. Its a movie.
But I wouldn't call that realistic. I mean, not in the way that anything else in unrealistic.
I expect things to be well written, well acted, and well made. That seems pretty realistic. Star Wars sequels were definitely well acted, I love a lot of those actors. My main issue is just the writing wasn't very good on any of them, some better than others.
I guess I expect the same....but what people can like and enjoy, and what they can let go, is subjective.
I watched the movies, and I had fun. I expected to be entertained. I expected plot holes, questionable writing, etc. But I went there to enjoy an action sci-fi movie. And I was entertained.
Were my expectations not realistic? Maybe "realistic" isnt the best word....they were more realistic for me at least. Maybe they were simply lower. I also enjoyed the prequels....not as much, but I wouldn't call them the most disappointing, poorly executed blockbuster films I've ever seen.
