Not me; I watched the first one (number 4 in the original grouping of however many) and enjoyed it. The ones after that seemed like the first round of sequels to Planets Of The Apes without Charlton Heston. How many ways can you dress up a monkey and shoot guns?

The longer this goes on, the more it seems like CGI was the death of movie-making. Who knew that Roger Rabbit would be the high point?

For me New Hope and Empire were like Godfather I and II. You could make arguments both are the best. Jedi was like as you said Beneath the Planet of the Apes. The best part was the acting of Ian Mac Diarmid. He along with Christopher Lee were the only good parts on the new trilogy

” CGI was the death of movie-making”

Amen. I LOVE old gore horror flicks that had to rely on all sorts of crazy real life special effects. The Thing. CHUD. Heck, even the old Star Trek. And who can top the feeling of 2001 and 2010 for sci fi? All the CgI is so clean and fake. No realism or effort.
