      Before or after the Special editions? Did Han shoot first? How'd you like Hayden showing up in ROJ?

            While sure, the movie wasn't that great, but at least they didn't have the typical "you saved the world again" ending
            Yes, but it was contrived, and strays from the message of #2. No fate but what you make.

              They made a Starship Troopers 2? I thought the first one was mediocre.

                  Mediocre is overating that piece of crap by several orders of magnitude.

                        So, we agree that it wasn't good.

                          Robocop 3 hasn't been mentioned?

                          Also, the Star Trek trilogy (if you start with Wrath of Khan) had a weak ending with Voyage Home. I guess we just didn't need the whales, or yet another stint of the Kirk and the gang going into Earth's past.

So even if the plot was meh and the Ewoks lived on Endor, I'd rather watch Jedi than any of I, II or III, and it's not close.
                            No. ROTS was a better movie than ROTJ. Yeah, ROTJ had a bad ass lightsaber duel at the end (and the cool emperor sitting in the middle of it and then the lightening blasts), but the Anakin/Obi-Wan duel was arguably its equal. Even forgetting that, Palpatine was deliciously evil in ROTS. Even if Hayden sucked as Anakin, Palpatine and Obi-Wan were wonderfully done.

                              I wouldn't call turning Palpatine into an invincible badass in order to make the story work 'wonderfully done'.

                                As bad as the Matrix sequels and the new Star Wars films were, you can at least mentally disconnect from the narrative and imagine your own story. They have a visual style that kind of redeems them if you can ignore terrible dialogue, terrible acting, terrible editing, etc.

                                Aliens 3 was so bad and so bleak, it was just unwatchable. Of course Off-Topic doesn't think so.

                                I have Matrix Reloaded on DVD, and it is surprisingly good if you turn down the volume and turn up your own custom soundtrack. The Kung-Fu sequences are terrible no matter what, but they can be fast forwarded through.
