Steaming pile of Sith ** SPOILERS **

Rating: 1/10 (26 August 2005)

**SPOILERS** For me the Revenge of the Sith had no heart. Within it, was supposed to be a love story and it was SOOOO weak in trying to show any kind of real feelings between anybody in the movie. Yes, he's going to the dark side to save her . . . but he looks more fascinated by that prospect than anything.
And we know that Darth Vader is bad, and we already know he's killed the separatists, and disposed of everyone meaningful except Yoda and Jimmy Smits in a Michael Corleone Godfather, death vendetta-like sequence . . . but considering that every potty-trained kid in the country is so fascinated by the biggest movie of their little lives . . . do we have to see Lord Vader dispose of all the little kid Jedi?? And then watch him burn to a crisp? I checked completely out at that point, and I was really never there. I stopped caring about the movie.
Even the way that Natalie Portman dies . . . "it seems she's lost the will to live". WHAT??? She's having kids?? Can't you give her some Prozac for that?
And finally, I really didn't want Grievous to be a droided, phlegmball-hacking evil drone, I wanted him to be an evil Darth Vader-like mutant man. I can't remember where he came from though, and his legacy from the first couple of prequels. Maybe that's just me, but there was nothing exciting about the fights between Grievous and Obi-wan, how can a droid really care about his life, and have a will to live, if he's been created and somehow pieced together?
Maybe though, I was never really that big of a Star Wars fan to begin with. Maybe that's the problem. I don't know. Maybe if you were driven to see how this thing all started, or ended, it's a better movie. I've heard people say good things. "Questions answered", that kind of thing. To them I say, so what? The movie stunk.
