Excellent effects, lousy film

Rating: 3/10 (6 June 2005)

There's no question Lucasfilms has the technical smarts to create any special effect imaginable. Too bad all they could do was cobble together the most idiotic vehicles and improbable landscapes ever assembled. The plot was predictable and unsophisticated, which made the storm of visual effects even more annoying.
Not all is lost though. The actors performed their roles well, and the plot managed to make the necessary connection to the "first" film.
The overall feeling I got from Revenge of the Sith was of watching money being spent as quickly as possible. As an exercise in graphic art Revenge of the Sith is entertaining, but as a film it is a waste of rendering time.
