what was wrong with Revenge of the Sith... a whole lot.
The space combat above Coruscant? Way too short. The stupid Buzz Droids got more screen time than the cruiser to cruiser battle. Lame. I'm sure it'll look amazing in 3-D in 2014 but they need to add like 10 minutes of dogfighting to make it truly cool. Geez we BARELY got to see what the ARC170 fighters and the Droid Tri-Fighters were capable of. |
Completely agreed. I was watching Return of the Jedi the other day, and was blown away by how much I enjoyed the dogfights. This movie really missed a great opening in that regard. Buzzdroids suck.

| Dooku was completely wasted, like used snotty tissue. The 3-4 minute long "epic" duel between Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Tyrannus? It was put to shame by their hangar fight in AOTC. And the huge heavy catwalk that Saruman dropped on Kenobi's legs proves he must have mutant healing factor equal only to Wolverine and Sabertooth to not have been rendered parapalegic. Stupid. THE ONLY COOL PART of the scene was the sweet beheading of Dooku by two lightsabers, that was sweet. The rest of the scene was badly acted and badly paced. |
Again, agreed. But in my defense, I hated Dooku since he first was revealed. Really? An old Sith? Christopher Lee is a lot of things, but awesome Sith was not one of them. He had to follow Sith like Darth Maul and Darth Vader, two hella awesome looking visual Sith. And then we get... Darth Gramps. I was glad he got killed so early.

| "Let's go arrest the Chancellor"? WORST, most piss-poorly edited scene in the *entire* prequel trilogy. Christ, what a debacle that was. Three Jedi Masters got utterly punked, made to look like fools. Kolar and Tiin stood there like deer in headlights while they were cut down like sapling trees. It didn't prove the prowess or skill of Sidious, it just made those Jedi look like blind deaf retards. At least Kit Fisto lasted 3 seconds and got to TRY a defensive lightsaber move before drooling a death rattle and fainting. Oh and Palpatine's cartoony CGI "corkscrew" midair tumble looked worse than any of Jar Jar's acrobatics in TPM. (the performance of Ian McDiarmid in the scene was AMAZING good... his computer animated stuntman/double needed to be fired. Razz ) Mace BMFer Windu was the only saving grace to the Jedi's integrity in the scene even if it was ill-fated. |
I enjoyed the initial confrontation, but this is my least favorite battle in the movies. Even the duel between Windu and Palpatine is poorly choreographed.

| Grievous' threat level displayed in Tartatovsky's microseries was totally rendered null and void until he was out of his put out of his sad misery. I'm sorry but his role in ROTS was all bluster and smoke & mirrors, there wasn't anything imposing about him... Did he run and hide in the old animated series? Hell no. But he was always blowing hot air and turning tail throughout Episode 3. And his overrated non-scariness characterization is perfectly preserved in the current CW series, he's not the least bit respectable there either... I hope that Gungan in the season 4 trailer kicks his asthmatic ass. LOL |
RIP cool Grievous. I was shocked at his portrayal in this flick too...

| and Padme lost the will to live. LOST THE WILL TO LIVE!!! Are you kidding me? That's the silliest bad storytelling in all of G-level canon. It wasn't even a copout, it was something worse than a copout that I can't even find a word for. Absolutely STUPID. Talk about dropping the ball. People cannot die just because they don't feel like living anymore! Human beings would never have to resort to suicide if they could just give up breathing and travel to the afterlife. I've heard the apologist argument of it being a fable storytelling device, an allegory for the snuffing out of the last good left in the galaxy and all kinds rhetoric like that but it was really just bad writing. God, where was Irvin Kirshner to save ROTS from being as underwhelming as it was? |
Oh yeah, dumbest logic twist in the movie. Anakin should have just accidentally killed her. Would have made way more sense, but I guess Lucas didn't want to get too dark.
I'm actually surprised you didn't mention the part about RotS that I hate the most: the final duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin. No matter how many times I watch it... it just isn't that good. And clearly, we miss entire portions as the movie switches back and forth between their duel and the Yoda/Palpatine duel. I realized that on my second or third viewing at the movies, and didn't like it at all. It just wasn't insane enough on the choreography. I think it says something when fans still point to the Darth Maul three-way duel as the highlight duel in the movies.
I mean, RotS is still a great flick and it definitely tugs at the heartstrings. I'd never fall asleep to it like I have done to TPM and its longggggggg podracing scene. But you know which flick gets better with age, I think? Attack of the Clones.

Please do explain. RotS is my favorite prequel.
