CT BBC Article arguing that TESB is overrated.

I think that's what I love about it though, that it plays out like a much smaller, intimate chapter. After the Hoth battle, it becomes very much a melodrama focused entirely on the characters and their immediate predicaments.

 

It doesn't matter if it's a sequel...it can still be the greatest movie of all time.

 

Good way to put it. Of course I like TESB a lot like pretty much everyone else but it isn’t at the very top of my favorite SW film lists like most people. I hate to use the term overrated with such a great film but in the pantheon of star wars films for me it is just ever so slightly overrated. One thing we have to take into account with any SW film is that most of us have watched them hundreds of times if not more. So, with certain SW films like TESB that contain a huge reveal, it’s only the first few times you see it that actually have the biggest impact. Whereas others that are just great journeys or thrill rides they have more rewatch value. I hope that makes sense.

Don’t get me wrong I watch and enjoy TESB whenever we watch the saga. There are great moments and it’s always going to be one of the best sequels ever. However, IMO, it’s not quite as exciting for me as other films in the saga at this stage. ANH, ROTS, ROTJ and maybe others have more pure entertainment value. TESB doesn’t have the rewatch value that many others do.
