Easily one of the worst pieces of Sci-Fi ever.

Rating: 3/10 (31 May 2005)

I don't know where to start. How about quite simply I hated it. Absolutely, positively hated it. The plot was idiotic, the special effects were on fast forward and shoved down your throat, the acting was more wooden than a dime store Indian. And it committed the most cardinal sin a movie can make. It CGI'd a dead actor when a live one would do. Peter Cushing was a high point in Star Wars. In Sith he was random pixels. Come on George get an actor that looks vaguely like him that's 30 years younger than him when SW was made. Ain't that hard. The guy's on screen for only a few seconds, it would have been a nice touch.
Oh just so much hate towards this movie. It wasn't a bad movie like House of the Dead or Battlefield Earth. No. Those have excuses. Poor budgets, lousy actors, bad material. Sith doesn't have those problems. Or should I say, shouldn't. The only high point among the actors is Ewan McGregor, who unfortunately will have to have back surgery after this because he had to carry all three movies in this trilogy. Plot holes I can drive a Star Destroyer through. Christensen reminded me so much of another bad movie, Zoolander. HE'S ONLY GOT ONE LOOK PEOPLE!!! He was actually painful to watch. Portman was scenery. In her final speech I so wanted to scream "I want a divorce!". It's a long fall from Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie.
When will directors realize that CGI cannot replace costuming and modeling? Everything in this movie seemed to be short attention span theater. The epic land and space battles that were little more than highlight reels that cut out at two minutes. Yeah they had a wookie army. For three minutes. A massive cliff scaling assault. For three minutes. Big space ship battle? Just a hair more than five minutes. It was more like a bunch of linked video game trailers than an actual movie.
Hopefully in twenty years when Lucas releases the 'Special Version' they will take out the CGI and add models and costumes. Ain't holding my breath. Forgive me if I pass this one over when it finally hits shelves.
