I think the problem is that the Star Wars prequels, even if his reviews became a little repetitive, still have a great cultural weight. Does anyone still think about CRYSTAL SKULL? Even people who like it are more likely to throw on...

Much like the movie he was reviewing, that wasn't as much fun as it should be. Still, he gets so much right about what's wrong that it's worth a watch.

Masterpiece. Seen it twice, currently challenging TREE OF LIFE for my favorite/best of the year. The neon fatalism mixed with courtly love makes it its own thing.

Honestly, I wish he wouldn't fuck with other director's movies. Star Wars messing with is less problematic than ESB or ROTJ.
