actually i enjoyed this movie every time as a kid, now it just kind of sucks. I haven't seen it in 10 years until last night. I found myself wanting to shut it off or skip to the throne room scenes.

Seriously - the problem is the comparison with A New Hope and Empire.

To use another analogy I'm fond of - Jedi is practically Citizen Kane, compared to Godfather III.

Those 2 series, in particular, are the Gold Stadanrds for great first 2 chapters, then a dramatic let down.

With Rocky - the dip to III was much more gentle (and I'd heard a number of people who really liked III and even more who liked IV).

With Matrix, it's unwatchable after the first film. Back to the Future - the second and third installments were about equal and both pretty good. With Indy, once again, the 2nd chapter probably has a dip (many disagree with that), but the third (and thankfully final chapter) Indy film was excellent.

In my best Obi Wan voice:

"You must free yourself from the convention and order that Earth has taught you. Allow yourself to think as freely as a child and you will know this IS the good movie you seek!
