For me, I never had a problem with the Ewoks. It was just something I always accepted as being in the film.


Same. Especially since they gave us this.

The Ewoks didn't bother me all that much....however the music number from the late 90's recut is the maybe worst piece of shilt in the history of cinema (Gus van Sant's Last Days included).

Oddly, one thing I've always flagged from ROTJ, is when Luke is heading back to the Dagobah System and tells R2 "I have a promise to keep.....to an old friend". Unless I missed something, Luke only trained with Yoda for a couple of days, He left when incomplete was his training to go save his pals. Now he and Yoda are old friends?

Just always stuck out to me, but hey, we gotta suspend belief and nitpickiness a pretty good bit to enjoy movies in general.

Also I agree with the Toy Story 3 posts.....on a whole other level emotionally than the others (which were both still good). I'm a 35 year old man that enjoys everything from Bubba HoTep to Apocalypse Now, but the scene at the end with Andy playing with his toys for the last time gets me almost every time lol.


I have said this a few times on here but I was one of the lucky people where toy story aged with me.

I was the biggest fan the first because I was kid and it was awesome.2 was great but I becoming a teen so I forgot my love for it. I was going into my Freshman year in college for Toy Story 3. Went to see it with some friends but not knowing what to expect after all these years. I nearly cried tears of joy watching the first scene "holy shite the gang is back."

I think I was a couple of years into college before I saw part 1.....I didn't see 2 and 3 until a handful of years ago. Yet even without that sentimental connection from my youth I loved the movies. Just speaks to their quality. But like I said, 3 is on a whole other level depth-wise.

could be pretty literal, Yoda is very old

Aquaman 2

I thought Jake Gyllenhaal's performance was far better than Vincent Chase in that role.

Aliens was better than Alien

Evil Dead 2

I'm probably gonna catch hell for this but Back to the Future 2.

I'm watching T2 for the first time since I was a kid. Holy shite this movie is great. I loved it as a kid for badass Arnold, but I never really paid attention to just how good is actually is.
