  1. I can't give you chapter and verse, but I felt the same way about the Star Wars prequels, which were written by George Lucas. I really had much higher expectations for the Jedi, in general, and Anakin Skywalker in particular. "Where's the wisdom and subtlety? Where's the DEPTH?" While some of what you say is assuredly true, I think part of the problem is now that we have the CGI capability to present virtually ANY spectacle, the spectacle, itself, has taken precedence over the story-telling. And the ability to create any visual a computer geek can put together has given us action scenes as envisioned by computer geeks, modulo cost-cutting measures that result in a bunch of jump-cuts, trying to massage a geek's vision of the action with something that's halfway acceptable to audiences. Oh well, that's not a total analysis, but I think it's more than just arrested-development types doing the writing. And MAYbe it's at least in part due to we, the audience, growing more mature, while Hollyweird is targeting a demographic raised on participation trophies and the new racissism, while us old farts are wondering what the fuss is about after fighting the REAL civil-rights battles 50 years ago, and WINNING.
