Because you're getting your "majority opinion" from Rotten Tomatoes which is just silly. As if Critics represent your general audience or something.

So these rating sites decide for the whole general audience now? Lol
Ok I'll tell almost everyone I know whose seen the movie and found themselves underwhelmed that they're in the vast minority.
I'll also tell them to read the reviews on RT in future before making up their own mind.

Well no, because I enjoyed many parts of it. That's different to being disappointed though.

In your opinion.
I've got more respect for people's opinion of which movies are better. Several people on these boards have ranked ROTS above TFA. Heck many people have ranked ROTS above some of the Originals.
I've ranked 2 Prequels above TFA, but heck there's people here who rank ANH at the bottom of their list! So mines hardly the strangest ranking.
Originally posted by Darth ThorGoing off of everything I've read (sample size) across the internet as a whole; reviews after reviews after reviews.....and all the sites that give scores....yah. I think you're in the minority big time. There are more sites/people raving about it than saying it's worse than the prequels.
Because for 1 you said I hated it (which I don't), and 2 I strongly disagree that I'm Factually in the minority for being slightly underwhelmed by it.

Oh ok if you mean about me ranking it below more than 1 of the Prequels then I agree I probably am in the minority.
But in terms of ranking it below ROTS, or just being disappointed in the new one, I've personally seen many people express that sentiment.
Episode V
Episode IV
Episode III
Episode II
Episode I
Episode VIII
I don't think any of them are bad per say. Wasn't too impressed overall with Episode 7. Will need further viewings to have a more concrete opinion but based on initial viewings, ALL the previous six films beat it.
ESB and ANH are the only ones I feel comfortable calling great(even though they're difficult to watch now). The PT definitely gets shit on undeservingly IMO. People ***** about Hayden Christensen's bad acting but forget that the acting by some of the main characters in the OT weren't Oscar nominees either.
Atleast the PT films weren't carbon copies of the OT. They added depth and pretty much gave us the EU material we have today.

In honor of The Force Awakens opening next week, let's reminisce about the series' films so far. List your top six and if you want, explain why:Here we go...
6) Episode 1: The Phantom Menace - This movie introduced the midichlorians and Jar Jar Binks. Even the epic light sabre fight between Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Darth Maul couldn't erase that.
5) Episode 2: Attack of the Clones - I would have rated this lower than Menace, had it not been for Obi-Wan's story in this being slightly more redeeming than the former's sins. However, the AMAZINGLY bad CGI that was EVERYWHERE in this movie, along with Manakin Skywalkers wooden acting, make this one hard to watch.
4) Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - This movie is not without it's sins either, but it was a much better film than the 2 that preceded it. Anakin was still cringe-worthy at times, but not as bad. It also featured one of the top 3 light sabre fights in the entire series imo. Some things were a bit forced, but the movie is by far the best of the prequels.
3) Episode 6: Return of the Jedi - While this movie has my all time favorite lightsabre fight (Luke and Darth Vader's final battle), it also unfortunately gave us the Ewoks. But the little fury bastiches weren't enough to derail the movie completely. An awesome space battle at the end with the Emperor and Empire seemingly meeting their demise; this movie had just enough going for it to elevate it beyond prequel ranks.
2) Episode 4: A New Hope - Some would argue this is the best Star Wars film, and that can be argued. This is the film that introduced us to Luke, Obi-Wan, Leia, Darth Vader and of course, Han Solo. It gave us a universe of imagination and took itself seriously enough that we believe it could have existed in a galaxy, far far away.
1) Episode 2: The Empire Strikes Back - This, to me, is the best Star Wars movie. It doesn't have the best of any one thing; in my opinion, it does do EVERYTHING just a little bit better. It improved upon an already great story with tense fights and made us question the fates of all involved. Also, the Vader is Luke's father reveal is still one of the all time most powerful movie revelations. This movie improved upon the already great special effects of the first one, and cemented Star Wars as a legitimate IP instead of a one hit wonder.
What's your rankings?
1. ROTS: Best lightsaber duels. Amazing plot. Amazing villain and heroes. Good vs Evil. Yoda vs Sidious. The Best.
2. Clone Wars: Very similar to to the one above.
3. ROTJ: The end of the Empire. Luke vs Vader. Sidious loses. Great movie over all.
4. ANH: First movie.
5. A PM: Nice duels. Nice story.
6. Just because i like the others more.
