Original Star Wars is "bad" for the same reason that anyone watching the Matrix for the first time is going to think it's kind of dumb and cheesy as hell: Tastes have changed, and all of the tropes and groundbreaking stuff it did were copied and satirized to death. There are definitely movies that have held up better than others and stayed more in line with modern tastes, but I don't think it's fair to look back at an old movie with almost 50 years of progress and judge it entirely on that.

The Matrix is great and I believe it still stands up.

But either way what we are discussing is if star wars is enjoyable today. I'm not disputing if it was enjoyable in the 70s or if it was groundbreaking.

There are movies where the special effects blew people away and did things that were unbelievable. You look at them now and the special effects look terrible and then the rest of the movie doesn't hold any power because it was leaning on how good the special effects were.

I believe star wars is in that category.

Terminator 1 the special effects are shit. But it's still a good movie.
