Im still waiting on someone to tell me how the original trilogy is over rated. Sounds like the movie didn’t have enough flashing lights and loud noises your y’all.
The originals have an avg rating of 8.5 and an avg rotten tomatoes score of 90. Not only are they incredibly popular but they continued to be well scored by people that have never seen them.
I don’t think they are over rated, I’m just saying this defensive mentality is strange. Let them think it’s overrated. It shouldn’t detract from your joy.
If I say “x is overrated” it’s a statement of my opinion relative to the average rating of x. That’s literally what the sentence means. Stating the average rating of x doesn’t disprove anything. You’re not even engaging with the idea lol. And there’s little reason to since it’s literally just someone’s opinion relative to the mainstream.
I am like you and that I like words to have specific meanings.
“Overrated” has to mean that the current rating is too high and should be adjusted, and those making such a claim should be prepared to prove summary bullet points.
I think the 50th Academy Awards nailed it. Not best picture. No actor awards. Best sound, best music, best costumes, best art direction, best special effects, best editing.
Outside of that, it was a great homage to Saturday serials that played at movie theaters in the 40s. Just like European orchestral classical music sometimes elevated peasant folk songs into a higher art form, Lucas did similar for those old short black and white kids movies my dad told me about from his childhood.
So, the first one, in my opinion, is not overrated. It’s rated just about right.
It’s a multibillion dollar franchise. How exactly is it overrated? Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s over rated.
You’re confusing over/under rated with popularity.
No I’m not. You are confusing your own tastes with what is generally considered “good”.
The original trilogy is solid. Those films are 40+ years old. Obviously they don’t compare to anything you’ll see now.
They didn’t say you weren’t allowed to like them.

Again please explain how they are over rated.
