Poop Revenge of the Sith was a shit film - Page 2

The_Doctor10 · 06-07-2010, 08:37 PM

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

If the book is better than the movie, and the movie wasn't a book beforehand, then somebody made a shit film :P

In my opinion, the originals hold up because of the story. The three-part story arc concept was amazing. A big problem with the prequels was the shitty story. Also, the inclusion of characters such as Jango Fett, along with the fact that friggin Darth Vader built C-3PO completely shrank the universe.

I can't recall if it was written before the movie, but it goes into WAAAY more depth and explanations for how and why he really turned. gives background on why mace was who he was, etc. I highly recommend it.

Also, I agree with you on the CGI. It seemed like Lucas was just snorting lines of CGI like it was nothing by the end and everyone around him was too afraid to hold an intervention.

While the special effects are ****ing awesome in all 3 prequels, the acting and dialogue sucked major asshole

The story makes absolutely no sense. I don't know if you've seen the RedLetterMedia review on youtube, but it's so entirely perfect in its summary of everything wrong with the prequels.

Key note where they ****ed up between the orginial Star Wars and the prequels...

Star Wars: Ben Kenobi has no ****ing idea who C-3PO and R2-D2 are. Nevermind they are fighting side by side with him in Star Wars I,II and III.

Big time gap in that storyline there.

**petegz28** · 06-07-2010, 09:11 PM

As far as the story line goes in the prequels, I thought it was fine. It was just the acting that ****ed it all up.

Rep for mentioning RedLetterMedia. I still have to get around watching his Attack of the Clones review.

I rewatched all three prequels about a month ago and they are indeed worse than I remember. Especially the second one. It's comically bad. No drama, you want to care about the characters but you really just don't give a fack. You're just plodding along out of some strange duty to your past and the way you remember the first three. Star Wars, Empire and Return of the Jedi were fun and interesting. The prequels were like sitting through a boring lecture.

The dialogue was crap. If you ever watch it again think about the lines they're saying. Some of them are so corny the greatest actors alive couldn't do anything with them.

star wars suck, it's all about star trek.

Pablo · 06-07-2010, 10:19 PM

Never watched more than 5 minutes of any Star Wars. I don't think I'm missing much.

Star Trek is ok, but their weapons are kind of gay.
