Reviewing My Old Reviews AGAIN

Quick Overview

The reviewer revisited his old film reviews after four years, primarily focusing on changing his scores for Star Wars prequel and sequel trilogy films, concluding that while he is not afraid to change his mind, some older scores, like the 10/10 for one favorite movie, remain unchanged, and he expressed strong negative opinions about the quality of "Suicide Squad" and the marketing tactics in recent blockbusters.

Key Points: The reviewer decided to re-review his old film scores because four years had passed since the last attempt, emphasizing that changing one's mind is important for critics and not a sign of inconsistency. He immediately confirmed his 10/10 score for one of his favorite movies would not change, while he bumped his score for "Return of the Jedi" up by 0.5 despite still considering it a weak finale. The reviewer drastically lowered his score for "The Phantom Menace" from a 3 to a 2, calling it "insanely boring," and maintained his score for "Revenge of the Sith" at a 5, citing the over-defended nature of the film and noting General Grievous is the "stupidest, most unnecessary subplot." He stated that "Rogue One" is going down in score because "Andor is so good," criticizing its music as "chat GPT John Williams" that does not match the horrifying tone of the movie. The reviewer confirmed his initial score for "Suicide Squad" remains the absolute worst superhero movie ever made, stating there is "nothing redeemable about it," while bumping up "The Suicide Squad" to a 9, calling it James Gunn's best movie. He assigned "Wonder Woman 84" a 2, stating it is "almost unwatchable" and horrible, and kept his score for "Falcon and Winter Soldier" at a 5, calling it the definition of mid. The reviewer stated his favorite X-Men movie is "First Class" (rated 8), while keeping X-Men 3 at a 3 and lowering Dark Phoenix to a 1.5 because it is not even funny to watch.

Context: The video documents the creator revisiting his film reviews from approximately four years prior to see if his opinions and scores have evolved, a process he finds fun and important for demonstrating that critics are not immune to changing their minds. The discussion heavily focuses on the Star Wars franchise, spanning from the Prequels through the Sequel Trilogy, along with updates on various MCU properties, X-Men films, and other blockbusters like the Fast & Furious entries.
