Star Wars Revenge of the Sith

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2005)

More aptly put: revenge on the audience. And for what? It seems that George Lucas, who can never be accused of understatement, has managed to do it not once-not twice-but three times. What has he done? Seemingly the impossible: that being keeping us totally bored while he destroys the universe.
I am not a 'Star Wars' fan. I felt that the second film in the series presented some improvements-but not much. My only comment on this, the sixth film in the overdrawn series . . . is that if the last 45 minutes of 'Sith' could have been spread out through the former couple of hours, allot of wasted video might have been put to better use.
A closing question to any readers. Did anyone catch what appears to be a tribute shot to "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY" near the film's conclusion? It comes as Padme's shuttle is lowering itself below the moon she later gives birth in. The framing, lighting, and position of the two people in the frame appear to have been deliberately placed as a 'signature' to the same sort of shot that appears in '2001,' as Heywood Floyd's moon shuttle lowers itself below the surface, as well.
