Revenge of the Sith - A Review/Opinion

[WarlikeMenelaos]

I tried watching it again and had to put if off after twenty minutes, It is terrible...I hate the film, it totally ruins (along with Ep. 1 and 2) the characters of Anakin and Palpatine.

I put on the last eight minutes though (from the point Vader's mask is put on till the end) and I must admit for that time it felt like Star Wars.

Well done Lucas! You've spent millions, made billions and wasted so many people's time, convinced me you're a hack and a pathetic writer these days....but you've produced an amazing eight minute prologue to A New Hope.

Oh and I can't see why people think this can be on ROTJ's level if not above it, to me it was a fitting end to the trilogy. The scenes with the Emperor/Luke/Vader were amazing although you do have to ignore the prequel trilogy for Leia's references to her mother and to have sympathy for Vader.

Original Trilogy Anakin Skywalker - Sad tragic character who underestimated the power of the Emperor, seduced by the darkside and fell

Prequel Trilogy Anakin Skywalker - Moody, greedy, whiney, annoying, monotone, bland and uninteresting....given everything on a silver platter yet still falls to the darkside.

I hate you George Lucas! You've ruined an amazing saga just for money, episodes 1-3 never needed to be told cause it was all explained in episodes 4-6!

Out of 10......2 (those last eight minutes entertained me in an otherwise terrible film)

I can not believe I just wasted £5 on the pile of fetid dingoes kidneys!!! Never before have I yawned so much at a movie!!!

So many glaringly obvious continuity errors... And let's not forget the need to point out the bleeding obvious!!! How DID Leia remember her mother??? She suddenly have a photographic memory, and Luke didn't??? I thought that at least Padme might have gone to Alderaan with Sentator Bail Organa and wasted away pining for Anakin...

And what is this crap about Yoda teaching Obi Wan to contact Qui Gon??? HUH??? I thought that Yoda told Anakin that love and the like lead to the dark side and there he is teaching stuff because Obi Wan is still missing his former Master??? DAMN WEIRD IF YOU ASK ME!!! Or has that to do with the return of the "spirits" in the first three movies???

What was the thing with the Midiclorians??? Wouldn't it have been better to leave well enough alone in the first movie???

Liked all the stuff to do with Senator Palpatine/The Emperor!!! Some cool stuff...

Was there a need for the three beheadings and three amputation of hands??? Little excessive for a 12A film!!! And the killing of the younglings???? Jeez, George, gone on a rampage in a school recently???

None of the "UNHOLY TRILOGY" can touch the "HOLY TRILOGY"!!!

Has to be:
1) Empire Strikes Back
2) Return of the Jedi
3) A New Hope
4) CLONE WARS (Cartoon)
5) Attack of the Clones
6) Revenge of the Sith
7) Phantom Menace

And where do you put the EWOKS movie and Cartoon serie, the Droids cartoon and the Starwars Holiday Special ?

[The Master™]

Haven't seen any of them, so I guess, NO WHERE!!!

[Alia]

Your not missing much Master! And don't worry about being no where, because for someone who has seen them, they aren't anywhere important.

[The Master™]

I do worry about missing things, just not them!!!

I saw it and I liked it. I'm not a Star Wars fanatic, but I did find many holes in the story. Lucas could have done a better job on Anakin's transfer from light to dark( I think it was just a little too quick and for too superficial reasons). despite the holes I enjoyed it.

RoTS is my 2nd favourite Star Wars. I loved it.

[kaneda]

[Calis]

hmm tough.

1. Empire Strikes Back
2. Revenge of the Sith
3. Return of the Jedi
4. A New Hope
4. Attack of the Clones
5. Phantom Menace.

That being said I liked Phantom Menace.

I go in and watch a movie, I dont analysese acting or small plot holes.

I go in and enjoy it, I dont care about the rest.

[orionsixwings]

WOAH! Okay, my opinion...dun-dun-dun-duuuunnnnnn!

I watched that film as a fan - I was greatly disappointed with Phantom, a bit okay with Attack of the Clones, but this one was really a bummer. The Jedi Purge was quite moving, but the transition of Anakin into the Dark Side seemed a bit "forced" if you ask me. There's got to be more drama...more intrigue. But no, they pump it in like a 'quickie'--you get there but it's too fast to enjoy it.

I've always known Lucas to be crappy about dialogues--here he uses too many cliche to make the lines work a bit better. Mace's death was not as spectacular as I'd hoped it'll be---and when Darth Vader finally did his signature breathing, I wanted to gasp---'he's baaack!' --- but couldn't cause the previous scenes were too crammed in that the climax I expected to be breathtaking turned out to be a flat dud -- kaploosh!--

My thoughts on Ep III: http://www.ascreennearyou.co.uk/2005...episode-iii-2/

The "Order66" Killing all Jedi did strike me as tragic.

Understandable when these guys have died saving their own Jedi, but programming destroyed this loyalty

"Et tu Brute" squared or a whole army of Manchurian Candidates?

Anakin betraying the Jedi was forced, although we do have episodes when he allowed his passion to rule him: massacre of the sand people and kiling Count Dooku.
Not all the Jedi would have succumbed to the Clone Troopers so hunting the other Jedi is another story between Revenge of the Sith and a New Hope.

I'll have to give him some benefit of doubt.

I did think that Padme ends up in Alderaan with Senator Organa. Dying from a broken heart after naming her children?..sheeesh
