Wow was I disappointed

Rating: 4/10 (19 April 2006)

Alright. When Star Wars episode 3, Revenge of the Sith came out, I was definitely excited to see it. First off, the first two films sucked, but the hype over this one was much greater. And it was rated pg-13, the first of the films to be rated as such.
So I go into the theatre, sit there for a couple hours while the movies running and begin to think, "Are you kidding me?" This movie, though better than Phantom Menace and Clone Wars, is pathetic. The love story between Anakin and Padme is cheesy at best with dull lines of dialgue and perhaps the worst acting I have seen. The first minute or so may be deceiving, because once again it starts out in a space setting with ships flying all over and explosions and such. Then, we go into Anakins small ship as well as Obi-Wans. This, within 5 minutes, is where the movie fell apart. The acting is absolutely horrendouz and embarrassing. Ewan Mcgregors attempt at being wise made me laugh out loud, and Anakins lines of cunning and bravery are enough to make you vomit. Seriously.
SPOILER ALERT!!! Dooku, a potentially strong part to a weak movie dies within 20 minutes. After he completely wipes out Obi Won by crushing him with a giant platform, Anakin makes quick work of him by beheading the former Jedi.
You know what really made this movie suck though? Greivious. The coughing, the cowardice, the hunched over, half alien half robot self. It's terrible. He is coughing the whole movie, which means he must be breathing air. Well, if he breaths air, how does he go into space with no protection? These may seem like small, stupid things, but thats what this movie is. Small and stupid. The battle with the Wookies had great potential, though it lasted about 5 minutes. Yoda and the Emperor was also good, except one thing. Why does Yoda spin the disk platform before he throws it at Palpatine? I mean, couldn't he have just tossed it right back and killed the old man? When Palpatine is confronted my Mace and the other Jedi, I began thinking, "okay, finally a decent fight." I coulnd't have been more wrong. Palpatine wipes out the 3 Jedi in less than 20 seconds while Mace stands by and watches. After a brief battle between the two, Mace has him down and is about to kill him, when Anakin shows up, chops his hand off (one of 10 limbs lost in the movie I might add ;)) and Palpatine sends him flying out the window. Or Windu, however you like it.
The one good scene in the whole movie is when Anakin and Obi fight. It's long and fast and probably the best lightsabre fight in any of the movies. When it ends though, instead of killing Anakin, Obi leaves him at the side of a lava lake with one arm and no legs. Palpatine finds him and brings him back to Vader.
The last, and possibly cheesiest, part of this movie, is when Padme gives birth. She has the two babies, names them not a second after the're out, giving it no thought at all, then dies. By then, I was happy she died.
Unless your a HUGE star wars fan, avoid this. It's horrible acting and cheesy dialogue put it right up there with the other crappy preqeuls. Why didn't Lucas stop at Return of the Jedi?
