Poop Revenge of the Sith was a shit film - Page 3

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

I think they are all great movies, and not that it's to brag about, but I know more about Star Wars than anyone on this forum.

Not with Picard at the helm. He'd be busy vexing over the Prime Directive while Vader unloaded on him.

Not even close. Don't get me wrong. Star Trek is awesome, but they'd get killed in the Star Wars Universe.

Watch Empire Strikes Back. It's really a fantastic movie in its own right.

Star Wars, Empire and Return of the Jedi were fun and interesting. The prequels were like sitting through a boring lecture.

You nailed it. Right on the head.

I loved the first three movies, especially the two that didn't have the Ewoks. The fourth left me nostalgic for the first three, and the fifth one was so appallingly bad that I never even watched the sixth one. If a fortuneteller had told me in 1980 that I would not even bother to watch a Star Wars movie, I would've killed her with crystal ball shards.

Big time gap in that storyline there.

Wow, that's right... the prequals just fail on many levels. It's like Lucas couldn't figure out how to put everything together... hey George, here's an idea, hire a good writer and bring in some outside help for the story line. It's not like you can't pay top dollar for the best writers to help you out or anything...

"i i i cant hold on any longer, i im too weak"

lol theres also a face he makes while fighting windu by the big windows that kill the entire movie.

When he also gives the speech to anakin about how the force is strong in him when he turns is extremely funny. I was cracking up in the theatres.

yeah, there was a LOT of unintentional humor in those.

The book was incredible. After reading the book, I got a true appreciation for how bad the movie was directed. Whatever you think about the movie, the book absolutely rescues it thanks to tremendous writing by Matthew Stover.

You're right, but the book is still worthy.

Tombstone RJ · 06-07-2010, 11:10 PM

Who really cares about where C3-PO and R2-D2 come from... why does it matter? Their characters stand on their own without the prequal, no?

Now I have just one more reason not to like the prequals...

yeah, that part was disconcerting. it was way too ****ing pat, like whoever wrote the ****ing scripts (I know lucas did some of the writing) went way out of their way to say "wow, yeah, we should put this here hahahahahaha, like a big ****ing puzzle."

**** them anyway. sometimes things don't have to all fit together, not everything has to be inner-connected. another of the things that pissed me off?

after order 66, when yoda survived: he's about to leave the planet, and says goodbye to two wookies. one of which just HAPPENS to be chewbacca. ****ING SERIOUSLY? HE JUST HAPPENS TO KNOW CHEWBACCA BACK THEN AND SAYS GOODBYE TO HIM ON SCREEN? **** YOU GEORGE LUCAS.

**007** · 06-07-2010, 11:26 PM

Yeah, my kids still like to watch the prequels and every time I take the time to watch I wonder to myself why I purchased the DVDs at all.
