Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith review

Rating: Null/10 (19 May 2005)

What can I say guys this movie left a lot to be desired. Why? Well quite simply Vader wasn't Vader. Up until this point in time I envisioned him being this ruthless and powerful bad guy with no equal. Yet, when it was all said and done Lucas served up a surprisingly weak and clumsy big kid! You can't have great Siths like Maul and Dooku and then have Vader struggling with OB 1. I mean OB 1 couldn't carry the Counts (Dooku) cape! But hes making Annakin work? I don't think so. Out of respect for those who have yet to see the movie I won't go into detail but you get the picture. Don't get me wrong the visuals are second to none and the movie does have its moments. But thats the point , except for the first 15 minutes there is no sustained level of movie-making excellence from an acting/dialogue standpoint. The romance between Annakin and Padme are perhaps the lamest in cinematic history. Its nausea inducing. The dialogue is full of contradictions. Its frustrating saying this but when everybody sees the movie it'll be easier to explain. The most impressive characters are Sidious (hes in a class by himself in this movie). Hes followed by OB1 and Yoda. Samuel J.'s Windu, Padme, and Jimmy (why did you take this role) Smits were as wooden as Pinnochios relatives. This is no exaggeration! You'll see. All in all the movie was decent but the force wasn't with it.
