how in the world is this a 7.9?

Rating: 5/10 (26 July 2005)

Okay... I've been a Star Wars fan like most. I grew up with the movies, but this movie was extremely disappointing. I had no problems with the storyline, and that's the only way I can conceive the high ratings it has received here. The dialogue was horrendous, however. And a coughing robot with an exposed human heart driving it? George Lucas truly has turned to the dark side. I would love to get a copy of the movie and mute all of the voices. Perhaps someone could rewrite the dialogue and add enough CGI to make the words match the speaking mouths. The emperor's sinister laugh absolutely HAS to go, and the entire speech about creating a new "empire" in a voice ridden with unmasked evil does not lend much faith that anyone could truly follow such a man. If Hitler had been so obviously menacing, would the masses have vowed their allegiance? I just think it was an unjust end to a truly influential series.
