The Darkest Soul
TNLs Resident Christian Zealot
Meh, I saw this the other day. Didn't expect much, so I wasn't disappointed that it was more of the same nonsense that I hated in the first two.
-Bad acting
-Wooden dialogue
-garbage plot
On the upside though, at least the saber fights were cool.

You just described the original trilogy as well
good job
dude, there were only one or two people in the first movies who acted for shit.
can't wake up
I just watched ANH and ESB yesterday. The dialogue was wooden and to my surprise, most of it was delivered as flat and straight as anything in the new trilogy.
The strengths of the original trilogy were the individual characters themselves, the extraordinary situations they were in, and the action scenes. Honestly, Episode 3 more than succeeds on all these fronts and is a movie as good as any of the old ones, if not better than a couple of them. The Anakin-pledging-allegiance-to-Palpatine scene is as powerful as anything in the old movies, and honesty, from that scene on might be the pinnacle of the Star Wars films.
Im not positive on this, but Im sure Episode 3 makes Ep1 and Ep2 better in the same way Ep5 makes Ep4 and Ep6 better. Its the new trilogy's heart and soul, and its apparent that the first two films are incomplete and lost without it.
It might be funny for me to say this, but if you enjoyed the old trilogy but hated Episode 3, you are just jaded... or you havent seen the old trilogy in a long time.

Ass
I agree with this. I've been telling people at work this since I saw episode 3, and have caught a lot of shit for it, but I believe you are right.
Eh, there is probably some truth to that. There has been a fuck ton of scifi out since the OT.

watch them again much like the new trilogy there were only one or two people in the first movies who DIDN't act for shit
I actually agree with Diffusion for once
and I have been saying this for years, all the complaints people have about the new ones were in the old ones as well, people just remember them with nastalgia and don't really remember what the movies were actually like
Sausage-in-training
I'd have to agree with this sentiment. One friend of mine gave it 2.5/5 stars. When I asked why he said "Oh, the fights were great but the acting and dialogue was terrible!" I then said "Was it any worse than anything whiny and cheesy Luke said in the OT?" *question followed by blank stare and crickets chirping*
