The first time I saw the Star Wats films, I liked them, but that was it. It was only in high school, after reading the Timothy Zahn trilogy, that I saw them in a different way. The novels that follow really flesh out the characters and are really much better than ANY of the films. The fact is, Lucas is a mediocre writer. It was only after reading all the background and characterisations other people wrote that I REALLY enjoy the trilogy.
As for the Abyss, you need to see the Director's Cut to understand all the alien stuff. Also, the novelization of the movie is MUCH more detailed. The author was allowed to go wild and invent all kinds of background and stuff.
Movies that dissapointed me:
Something About Mary (HUGE hype for a few good laughs in a mediocre film.
Clerks (Some good laughs, but rambling and generally forgetable.)
Any Batman movie after the 1st.
Star Trek: Generations (Fuck Kirk. There was NO REASON to put him in that film. The story SUCKED becasue they had to put him in. Either do the new cast or the old one.)
