I went bananas over the first Star Wars movie. I'm a space nut. The next two movies were great too but the newer ones, the prequels, are just not entertaining to me.
I saw the first SW and was not impressed at all...never saw anymore...why such a rage over the series?
First ... When it first came out, it was a technological leap in movies. If you want a comparison, "Flash Gordon" came out about the same time as the first StarWars movie ... Yet it looks a decade (at least) behind, in terms of movie making.
Second ... There are plenty of fans of science fiction.
Third ... There are people who will see a movie, just because of the hype. And then THEY contribute to the hype - sometimes so that they don't feel so bad for falling for they hype and seeing a bad movie. LOL
If you are talking about Star Wars and you don't think it's the shizat? ...... You're my nemisis now ;) it's the bomb digitty ... No doubt ;p shall we listen to the digity song now ? Yes we shall .... DANCE BREAK! Please stand by.... You will be returned to your regular scheduled programming after these brief messages.....
