Not a surprise for me... piece of crap

Rating: 4/10 (9 June 2005)

Remembering the awkwardness from episode one and two I didn't really expect Revenge of the Sith (ROTS) to be any better. And it wasn't.
I will spare you the lengthy sermon about how the thing was awful etc. Just want to say this. I like the Star Wars universe in overall as some of the video games like Knights of the old Republic or Jedi Academy are my favorites. I can tolerate the whole lot of silly aliens or linearity and simplicity of the plot.
But what I can't tolerate in a movie is this: clichés, bad acting, stereotypes, bad jokes, bad dialogues and pathos. And sadly ROTS is just full of that. Except for Ian McDiarmid you'll have a hard time to find the hint of acting performance, almost every line someone speaks is a blunt banality, battle scenes are stupid imitations of medieval war encounters, dialogues are mostly clichéd stereotypical disasters without a spark, not one attempt on a joke hit the spot and so on.
But it is all packed in flashy, colorful wrapping, it's enough for the shallow audience to get entertained, it got a huge hype and that's what counts. Whatever.
One more thing. Nothing beats the worst actor of this film, which is Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan. Truly sad.
The flick has its merits but they are really marginal and everyone wants to spend their precious money on this movie anyway, so let them go and find them.
My mark for ROTS is 4/10 and I'm done with this crappy trilogy.
