Revenge of the Sith

[Skar]

Nope, he didn't.  And I got up early this morning to see if anything was waiting for me.  Nada. If he really submitted it, it wasn't to the movies section.

E, are you planning to go in and clean this up yourself?  Is your sister-in-law's name really Liisa, with two 'I's?

[Fellfrosch]

I've known a couple of Liisas. He was consistent with it, so I assume it's correct.

[Skar]

Yup, that's why I asked instead of just changing it.

two I's yes. It's the Finnish form. like Kirsti, and Heidi, and Anders. My father-in-law really likes Finland.

I didn't send it to Skar because at first I wasn't even going to put in an actual movie review at all, just the experience. But since we didn't get one last week like we thought, I changed my mind at the last minute.

Sith made a reported 16 million just from the midnight wensday showings.  Double what RoTK did at it's midnight showings.

RT has a good news story, According to it the adveare tomato score of the original trilliogy is 54%, the prequils is 70%.  To get the original score they went back to newpapers during the 70s and 80s and took those reviews instead of useing the ones on their site that were from people doing reviews of the special editions.

31% - Return of the Jedi
52% - The Empire Strikes Back
79% - Star Wars

are the respected rateings

Also from the article

****************
As one can see, only Star Wars managed to be Fresh, with a respectable 79% on the Tomatometer, while the other two sequels got successively worse. Most of the critics thought the first film was an inventive, fun, and entertaining summer popcorn movie. It's interesting that they complain about the dialogue back then too. Empire, which is regarded as the best of the series nowadays, only managed to score a mixed 52%. It received great technical grades, but critics had problems with the plot, one way or other, and thought it was just minor entertainment. It got worse with Jedi uneven pacing, no character development, tired acting, and hollow and junky filmmaking. It scored a moldy 30% on the Tomatometer. Prequels were probably the last thing critics wanted back then after the thrashing of the last film.

I love how so many film critics are baffled by the success of Star Wars. It tells me that many critics need to lighten-up some and get in touch with more people.
