The sense of wonder was there from the original because you were a kid then (most of us anyway). I would be curious which trilogy kids today, watching all the movies for the first time, would like better. I'm not sure that the original 3 are so much better then most recent three, or if the greatest movies of all time couldn't compare to the original 3 because of the way some people have built them up because of that original experience of wonder and adventure they remember watching them as a kid.
