For my Battlefield Earth vs. Godfather comparison, I meant more in terms of the former being a "Doing it For the Art" project and the latter being a more commercial venture. Otherwise you could say it's like:
-saying Lady in the Water is better than The Departed
-saying North is better than The Dark Knight
The sequel trilogy is very flawed, but I swear so many of the arguments of the film lack depth. Tried to watch Mauler's critique of The Force Awakens and it felt like he could have gotten across what he did in 3 hours in 45 minutes. And he always turns anyone who disagrees with him into a straw figure.
