A Very Bad Movie

Rating: 1/10 (20 May 2005)

There's basically two problems with this movie. First, Revenge of the Sith is not very engaging and features characters who are not supposed to be stupid behaving stupidly, the only reason being that they need to do what they do to make the badly-thought-out story move forward. Second, Revenge of the Sith does not accurately or satisfactorily set up what happens in the movies that came out from 1977 to 1983. It's as if the makers of this movie didn't watch the other films and forgot what was said about characters' back-story.
I saw this with a group of 40 people, ranging from 20 to 40 years old. Those who did enjoy it enjoyed it for only one reason, seeing elements of Star Wars in a movie, even if misplaced and foolishly held together, makes them happy. They agree that it is a bad movie and that it would have been easy for the filmmakers to have been loyal to the story as it had been set up, but they'd rather see an awful movie set in the Star Wars universe than none at all.
Star Wars fans deserved better.
