I love the Star Wars Prequels... but I also believe Yoda exists in a hut in the valley in radium hot springs

I didn't understand the hype around the 1st one, but I rather enjoyed the 2nd one.

Lord of the Rings is the trilogy that I don't understand the hype around. Besides the special effects, the dialogue and story are extremely boring. At least POTC has a decently entertaining story with some twists.

POTC#2 doing so well is directly related to how good the first one was. I was pretty surprised how much I liked the first one but the 2nd was simply too long. The good thing about it was that I watched it in Italy. They have 5 minutes intermissions every hour. Just enough time to take a leak and grab another beer...
The ######ed name "Attack of the Clones" probably had something to do with it too, and that Episode 1 was a bit of a disappointment.

Did you read the books? If not, then I can understand this but everyone and their grandpa has read either the hobbit, or Lord of the Rings. It was written during WWII.
