Revenge of the S%^$ ( A stupid joke, a much more stupid movie)

Rating: 1/10 (20 June 2005)

I have somehow been brainwashed by my father with the starwars saga when I was a kid. Although the old starwars movies aren't masterpieces, but fun entertainment (that I used to love as a child), the two precedent movies were not so good: Bad digital effects, bad dialogue/acting and cinematography. I'd rate the phantom menace with a 5,5 out of 10 and Attack of the clones with a 5.
From Revenge of the Sith I didn't expect any better. When I read the many positive reviews I thought "maybe it will be fun". I went to see the movie and I have to say: This is one of the worst celluloid's I have ever seen. I don't belong to the crowd who is terribly disappointed if a new starwars movie doesn't quite resemble the old ones. What I expect is "light but well constructed entertainment".
It's even difficult to call Revenge of the sith a movie. It seems more like 30-40 merchandise commercials in a row. The kind of commercials you'd see in a fast food restaurant.
The acting, the story, the music and just everything else is terrible. This movie surpassed all my expectations in "awfulness". Sometimes a movie is fun because it's ridiculous. This movie was, all the other critique asside, extremely boring!
This is definitely a movie for the lower IQ'd. If Lucas seriously put some effort in this movie, than he must be one the dumbest directors in history. A new hope is not surprisingly the weakest, as for directing, of the old starwars saga. Guess what? Lucas directed it. The other two weren't directed by him. Those directors and the crew made the childish screenplay, by Lucas, into a better whole.
I'll never understand how such a piece of crap can get such positive reviews. It at least makes clear that there are a lot of dumb human beings (or people without any taste in films) inhabiting this earth.
It's as if many people want this third episode to be better than the two that came before. This will ends up being stronger than their weak sense of critique and self consciousness..
All things considered, i have no respect in any film viewer who seriously thinks this movie is good!
I don't often give a rating of 1 to a movie, but this movie deserves it. I won't even call it a movie ( a "hoax/joke" would describe it better).
Forgive me for the many mistakes. I had to write this in a very short amount of time..
