All your favorite's bad bits

Rating: 1/10 (8 June 2005)

OK, I've grown tired of the bitching about fidelity to the original trilogy, loss of artistic integrity, and Lucas' visionary rights to this "world of his creation". This is a thread for those who agree that, such questions aside, the new film is spectacularly awful, and simply want to have fun at its expense. Please, what do people think were the most terrible parts of the film? I thought that the dialogue in general was laughable, but a favorite's stinker was the love talk "You're so beautiful." "That's because I'm so in love." "No, it's because I'm so in love with you." It takes a special talent to make Natalie Portman anything but breathtakingly beautiful, but Lucas delivers again. And Hayden Christiansen? Man was he well-directed. Can you imagine the instructions? "Ok Hayden, for this shot I want you to frown. And the next one. And after that. In fact, you can pretty much spend the whole movie looking like a pouty 7 year old." What do you guys think? Which parts made you laugh out loud?
