Subject: "Revenge of the Sith is a work of art." ~ IGN Article

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

linky

Basically, some art critic has said in her new book that Revenge of the Sith has "more inherent artistic value, emotional power, and global impact than anything by the artists you name".

To claim that this is the best of the saga over the near-flawless Empire Strikes Back... this woman has either had the side of her head cave in recently, or she's just plain stupid.

Opinions?

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I think it's her opinion and we should respect it, no matter how much we hate the prequels.

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Contrary to the opinions of a majority of people who have watched Star Wars, I liked the prequel trilogy.

Multi-trillionaire modern cowboy.

That's right.

Why does IGN promote everything I oppose? I seriously want to bomb them.

This isn't about whether you liked it or not, it's the fact that it is being claimed as the "greatest work of art" in recent history and the critic asserts as a fact that it's better than any work of art you can name...

So what if she thinks it is?

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Should have brought a flame suit with you.

OT: It's her opinion and since it's IGN, I really don't care. I still say the original trilogy is better than any of the prequals.

All films are a work of art. Doesn't mean they are good.

Oh and I loved Revenge of the Sith. That and Empire Strikes Back are the two best Star Wars movies.

Nobody cares about anyone else's opinion - be it mine, yours, or a cult of angry star wars nerds - when they are enjoying what they enjoy.

Everyone cares about opinions, that's why we socialize on a forum with strangers.

Without The Flood, I wouldn't know what an opinion is.

OP should edit that title. No IGN staff member in that article took any stance on Revenge of the Sith. They themselves were just providing a link to this article."Revenge of the Sith is a work of art." ~ IGN ArticleIs fairly misleading. The same way I could have referred to this thread as "Revenge of the Sith is a work of art." ~ Bungie.net thread

I don't have a high opinion of IGN myself, but if you're going to call them out, at least do it right.

Like the original trilogy didn't have some awful dialogue.

Don't judge a book by its cover, unless it has bacon on the cover, then it is a good book.

-Me

I liked the prequels and I think the hate towards George Lucas is rather stupid. After all it is his franchise.

I liked the movie, don't know if I would call it the greatest work of art in the last 30 years though
