basis for bad reviews flaw.

Some movies are just 'great' and cannot be defended by a list of standards that people are judging them on.

When people get older they tend to judge things by a pre-set list that they probably heard on tv without just asking themselves if they simply enjoyed whaterver it is they are analyzing.

The only way to have satisfied the 'wooden character' people would have been to use 'soap-opera' style script and acting.

The actors did there job just fine.

Actually, it was the 'soap-opera' style script of AOTC that I disliked. To heck with the old or young thing. You have your reasons for liking or disliking a movie just like anyone else.
