Revenge of the Sith was a shit film
 

I've been a long-time hater of the Star Wars prequels and I always manage to convince myself that Revenge of the Sith at least had some decent story elements that redeemed it at least partially for the clunky, mind-numbingly awful dialogue, Hayden Christensen's general incompetence as an actor, and Attack of the Clones' appallingly bad everything.

But I was wrong... Everything about this film is wrong... And I can't help but think that if the guys who directed and produced Empire and Return of the Jedi were still in house telling Lucas he was a ****ing dumbass for wanting to do 90% of what's in these movies, we'dve been much more satisfied as an audience.

But yes, hope everyone is enjoying their night. I just felt the need to remind people about what a colossal disappointment this film was, and what a crap film-maker George Lucas truly is.

Thank you and good evening :D

Wrong forum.

It has a lot of terribly goofy shit.

I like the beginning and ending of the film. Just about everything in between makes me want to hurl. The scene where Palpatine turns on the Jedi and eventually offs Mace, that whole sequence...probably one of my least favorite scenes ever in the entire Trilogy. Horribly scripted, directed and acted. Just about completely ruins the entire film for me. I can look past that ****ing lizard, I can't look past Ian McDiarmid hamming it up like a dumbass.

At least it didn't have any ****ing ewoks in it. Ewoks ruined Jedi.

I always thought "delayed reaction" is mostly a 'seconds' or at most 'minutes' phenomenon!

The Phantom Menace killed the franchise, Attack of the Clones pissed all over the dead body, and Revenge of the Sith was a Lucas's half-ass attempt at CPR.

Yep. The movie would have been EPIC with wookies.

Oh boy is it... It starts off fairly good; the moment where Palpatine goes 'Are you threatening me, Master Jedi?' is probably the most well-acted and tension filled moment in the entire prequel trilogy... And then it gets fricking ruined by a spiral, three Jedi ALLOWING themselves to be cut down, all so Mace can fight Sidious himself.... And die poorly.

And would it have killed him to mix in a friggen location shot once in a while... bollocks... utter bollocks.

Also, Jedi was kind of ruined from the get go when they decided to just build another Death Star. It is time to blow up the Death Star... again.

on the whole, I liked Sith. HC is a shitty actor, but maybe it was the finishing of the prequals that I liked. I dunno, after Phantom Menace, nothing could be a bad Star Wars movie.

JMO.

I'm re-watching it now to see if it was really as shit as I remember... It is. It's worse than I thought. It's really horrible; I need to watch the theatrical cut of A New Hope after this to get the dirty feeling off me...

Ya know, that bugged me even back then.

I agree. The prequels have not aged well, which increases the suckitude factor since they were not that good to begin with.

It's the overdone CGI; CGI ages worse than strawberries, it's embarrassing. The originals hold up in part because the model work is so amazing that everything looks real. In large part, because it is. Similarly, CGI looks fake because it is. A bit of an oversimplification, but whatever lol

I didn't think it was horrible. book was WAY better (yeah, I'm THAT guy)
