As you've seen from my posts, I really didn't like it at all. But there have been a number of people here who really did like it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I wouldn't make too much of this. I plan to see Star Wars again, but want to give it a week. I think many people are in the same boat.
BTW, just watched the DVD version of "Magnificent Seven" the other night with commentary. What a movie. Sometimes you get a movie that is terrific from top to bottom in the casting, music, writing, etc.
animals escape from the NYC zoo and find way to wild jungle where craziness ensues. In the comic tone of Shrek.
Well, the one person I know who saw Star Wars 3 said it was slow, basically a stinker.
You might want to check again.
SW- ANH stayed in theaters- and at #1- forever!
Even ROTJ was on screens for months!
And- the OT boxoffice is based on MUCH lower ticket prices.
At NO time do I think any of the OT films were topped by another movie in their second week of release. I could be wrong about ESB and ROTJ, but not ANH.
I want very much to see Star Wars, but school just let out this week, and with the crowds going to see it, I decided I would wait a week. I bet a lot of people are doing the same thing.
I think everyone who needed to see Star Wars already did.
oh well.
Netflix has started mailing out new DVDs a day later than they used to...a couple months ago, when they recieved a movie, they would mail out the next one in queue (sp?) the same day, now it seems to only happen the next day.
I have never watched an episode of '24' on TV, but have gotten them on DVD in order...I love it...no commercials, watch when you have time...
In all honestly, I knew nothing about the books. I just went to see a movie. Maybe if you appreciate the books, the movie will work for you. My husband and I just didn't like it.
The Magnificent Seven is indeed a great movie. What a musical score. When I hear that music...something happens - not sure what it is, but it's something. Maybe the best score I've ever heard.
Remember Cheers when the guys (and Carla) would run off to watch it at the drop of a hat, and start to recite the music. Great Stuff. GREAT stuff.
I'll be surprised if that holds true over the weekend.
I just went with my family today and we all thought it was terrific, and the last thirty minutes as they tied up most of the loose ends that set us up for Star Wars: A New Hope was a blast.
I can't believe that anyone saw Bush-bashing in that movie, the movie was basically all about good vs. evil in an absolute sense and the comment about only a Sith sees things in absolutes was harmless (and pretty dumb as well).
I thought if anything the movie was strong proof for the practice of going after evil as soon as possible, and what happens when you allow pity to stay your hand-- both the main Sith and Darth Vader could have been killed but for pity. You need to kill evil before they get a Death Star. At least that's what I saw.
If others think that Bush resembles the Sith Lord, they are already in the clutches of the Dark Side.
This Freeper gives it two thumbs up. May the Force be With You.
Funny.
Episode 3 ROTS
That betta?
