I've got no real opinion on the Harry Potter movies. I've watched only three of them - out of order and not even one's that connected to each other side by side either.
Don't murder me for saying so, but I kinda see them as kid's movies. They're based on YA books after all. Doesn't mean adults can't watch them (even I liked the Golden Compass movie), but it's just not a series of movies that I feel any desire or need to catch up with. |

Ja they're definitely kid's films. LOTR too.

The LOTR films slowly died on me as I rewatched them several times over the years. Used to love them, but last time I went through the whole trilogy, I was mostly just bored out of my mind. A lot of the time, they don't even look that good anymore. I wonder if they'll really stand as classics over the years, or if they'll seem less impressive in hindsight to a lot of other people too.

It didn't affect Star Wars' legacy.

I still think those movies look great and very impressive for their time though. And they seem way less stiff and bloated to me in terms of the storytelling and the acting.
I'm no Star Wars fanboy, but I think the original trilogy is easily better than LOTR. I still like the first LOTR movie somewhat, actually. It's just a bit long and self-serious and cheesy and such, but oh well, can't have it all. |

I thought that Star Wars had mediocre performances too. Can't say that they're super bloated though, they do still have that old-school sense of letting the landscape breathe when they set up a scene that I appreciate.

Pretty much agree with all of this. I really wish modern block buster movies would slow down a bit. |

Not a fan of having a cut every 2.5 seconds?
