Same.
I saw all three of the first films growing up as a boy. They were just absolutely awesome.
Like pillar of one’s early life type of awesome. They came from a time when movies in general were phenomenal.
I couldn’t even tell you how many times I’ve seen each of them.
The second set of three I’ve seen one time each, and I’ll never watch them again.
They were pitiful, empty, hollow and meaningless. And yeah, the acting was...I’ve seen better acting in high school plays honestly.
I also thought the Matrix was considerably better than these 3 Star Wars films. I’ve seen all 3 Matrix a number of times, and I enjoy them each time.
In my adult life I have come to find that in movies special effects are the least interesting element for me. It’s the story, the acting and the depth of characters that draws me in, and the three most recent films had none of those things at all.
I’ll not be seeing any additional Star Wars movies. I have memories from my youth, and I don’t want those memories tainted with crap from today.
