STAR WARS!!!
Ohh how George Lucas has screwed up the Star Wars franchise... but then again.. I'm going to the midnight showing to watch the 3rd Episode.. so has he really screwed it up!
Obviously not.. cuz Star Wars geeks like me keep going to the movies..
Maybe it's because we keep giving Georger Lucas a second and third chance to not screw it up!
Here's my thoughts of his movies...
Star Wars Ep. 1- The Phantom Menace: Boy did he screw up here.. this movie just seemed irrelevant and a waste of time.. Maybe it was too innocent .. too childish.. then again.. it's probably what he intended.. because anakin is suppose to be innocent.. confused.. but after watching that movie.. I wanted to puke. The Phantom Menace seems to be an appropriate name for a movie that just didn't seem to flow!!
Star Wars Ep. 2 - Attack of the Clones: Now this was somewhat decent.. but again.. like the first.. trying to cram too much crap into the movie.. LACK of character development.. i just didn't care for the characters... this movie was more comic relief than anything..
Star Wars Ep. 3 - Revenge of the Sith: well have to watch it.. but from the trailers.. it looks GOOD!!! FOAMING AT THE MOUTH!!
Star Wars Ep. 4 - A New Hope: The movie that started it all.. yes.. it was probably as chessy as episode 1 n 2... but it's what started the craze.. but then again.. it was a very fun movie to watch. . I think what made the movie so much fun to watch was the chemistry between the actors.. something lacking in the new movies put out by Lucas!
Star Wars Ep. 5 - Empire Strikes Back: Oh the darkest of all the movies.. and my favorite.. maybe it's because someone else directed the movie.. and actually told a good story.. you had it all.. DARK.. TWISTED.. and the biggest key character developement.. I mean.. i actually cared for the characters.. something that didn't happen before.. in Ep1 I just wanted to be the hero..
Ep 2. man i wanted to be everyone! (well minus the women)
Star Wars Ep. 6 - Return of the Jedi: Now this movie.. after watching over and over again.. falls into Ep. 2 category.. because it really wasn't all that.. but it was still fun to watch... the chemistry amongst carrie fisher.. mark hammil and harrison ford is just great....
Maybe i'm biased because i watched ep 4 - 6 as a child.. but who knows... I just hope 3 is a good movie!!

I agree with a lot of what you say especially re: Jedi. I used to think Jedi was my favorite, but after watching the DVDs, I think that it is super cheesey to the epic Ep. 2 levels. It was really grand and the story really wasn't all that.
My rankings:
1) Empire
2) Star Wars
3) Jedi
4) Clones
5) Menace
