  1. Give credit where credit is due! by Archimonde · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    1)He created original trilogy. Those movies are one of the best movies ever.

    2)He destroyed it with Special Edition.

    3)Then he created three crappy prequels*. (worst movies ever).

    And now the conclusion:

    Thats helluva lot of determinination and hard work. He deserves it.

    * I never saw episode iii, but judging from i and ii, I'm almost certanly right ;)

  2. Awful Films by BlackHawk-666 · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    I've just finished watching his lifetime achivement for the first time as an adult, and I can honestly say it sucks and blows arse. Sure, he deserves credit for the fantastic THX quality of the films, that sound and imagery really was top drawer. It's a pity the films themselves stank so badly. Let me qualify my main gripes with them.

    In Star Wars, Luke comes off as some petualant child who went to the sooky child school of acting. If was hard to get involved with his badly written character, and Han Solo come off as some sort of space hick. The only redeeming feature was a bra-less princess Laia.

    Whilst watching the truly awful Return of the Jedi, I noticed that the characters seem to say all their actions and speak in pure exposition e.g. I'm going to go *there* and do *that*. This film is worse than pantomime.

    Give George credit where credit is due, THX is great, the special effects are fab, but the acting, plot, and characters all stink.
