bladerunner: i've written dvd/hd dvd/blu-ray reviews for dvdtown and dvdbeaver as well as my own site, http://hddvdreviews.blogspot.com .
hoodaguy: "empire" bores me to tears. "a new hope" has some really awful acting by the three leads. "jedi" is dumb because a bunch of teddy bears manage to defeat a powerful army.

Empire wasn't boring, and the prequels have worse acting than the original three films.

Wow, to say that The Empire Strikes Back gets a 5/10 is harsh...why the hate? Which sci-fi movies you like?

Yeah, well, don't let previews fool you. I thought Iron Man previews looked corny as all hell, but look what happened there!
The count down to Friday is on at RT and so far out of 50 reviews only 11 are rotten, leaving the Tomato Meter running at 78%. The RT Community is liking it a bit less running their meter at 70%, so far. I'm predicting by Friday the Tomato meter will be anywhere between 68% to 72%, which isn't all that bad considering it could turn out much worse. I never expect the Crystal Skull to be the best IJ movie made, I just expected to see the franchinse back in action and that's good enough for me.

tim's right. among my sci-fi favorites are "final fantasy", "minority report", and "bubblegum crisis: tokyo 2040" (tv series).

OMG! can't believe what I'm reading here...
Final Fantasy and Minority Report(!) are better than the STAR WARS movies? I've never thought I actually live to see a fan of movies state this, but "to each his own"...
For any interested, here's my Star Wars ratings -
Episode #1 - 5 (or 6)
Episode #2 - 3 (or 4)
Episode #3 - 7
Episode #4 - 10
Episode #5 - 9
Episode #6 - 7
STAR WARS gets a perfect score, primarily because IT'S ONE OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURE FILMS EVER MADE!
No one knew it at the time what a 'classic' the film would turn out to be - fantastic production (on a smaller scale), amazing John Williams musical score, Peter Cushing, Alec Guinness, Harrison Ford (totally owns his 'space pirate' role!), best droid action of them all(!), most 'adult' of the series (almost all characters are indeed mature adults), best pacing and timing of the series (and best opening/closing scenes of the series), ETC.
I will concede on Chewbacca - as cool as he was in Episode 4, it could be argued that he was at his best in Empire (#5). As for Jedi, yes the 'teddy bears' helped defeat the Empire on the ground - HELPED - as some of the rebels were there too, and remember the main Empire forces were up in the air (space).
But I'm still laughing at Eddie thinking Episode #1 is the BEST of the entire series - amazingly shocking! ...but "to each his own".

"a new hope" is nothing more than a piss-poor re-make of akira kurosawa's "the hidden fortress". if you watch the special features for "kagemusha", you'll see lucas talking about how he has no original ideas and that he took everything in the "star wars" series from...you guessed it, kurosawa.
where did all those lightsabers and jedis come from? why, samurai duels and jidai-geki! duh.
