Yes, the PPG movie was very good. I was never a big fan of the PPG's but it does make me sad to think that a wonderful movie like that one just couldn't get the attention it deserved.
Something I feel that gets no respect is the Star Wars prequel trilogy. Yes it could have been better. Yes it had its flaws. But what really gets my goat is how people tear Lucas apart for it. The man was doomed from the start really. How could he be expected to to reach the expectations that the fanbase had? I say that they brought it on themselves.
Lucas is a good guy and he wanted to make his movies his way, not the way that the fans wanted them to be made. I think the fans just felt that SW was theirs and forgot who's it really was. He tried to avoid the obvious and give us movies that he thought worked. While I love the original trilogy to no end, I still feel that the prequel trilogy was very good and worthy of the Star Wars name.
