Revenge Of The Sith

By bullying me what point are you trying to make? You make yourselves look incredibly small minded. The differance between you and me is I'll still carry on believing what I want to believe and I won't stoop to the level of trying to make you look silly for thinking differantly, because I'm secure enough in my opinions to not demand that everyone agrees with me and those that don't must be subjected to ridicule and bullying.
 
It's really good except for:

1. The dreadful script.
2. Hayden Christensen
3. Ewan MacGregor being horribly wooden (could be the script).
4. Padme going from strong female heroine in the first two movies to wussy female archetype overnight.
5. Younglings, what a stupid word.
6. Ewan and Yoda referring to the Emperor before he's proclaimed the empire (could be a force thing, that's how we usually explain these things).
7. Noooooooo! And the wonky walk as he takes his first steps.
8. Putting Luke with Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru that apparently Anakin doesn't know exist, but taking Leia off to to Royal Family of Alderaan, who incidentally I'm fairly sure could afford to look after them both.
9 Padme dying as a result of, well, nothing - especially as it would have been so easy for her to die as a result of her argument with Anakin, and the fact the lives long enough to have the cleanest birth in movie history and name the children before a dramatic splat that couldn't have been any more cliched if she'd squeaked "so cold!" as she drifted off.
 
I never had a problem with the 'Nooooooooooooo' moment.

The critiscism of that moment seems predicated on the fact that it weakens the Darth Vader character, and that the character would never have showed such emotion.

But I would argue that at that precise moment, we were not looking at Darth Vader, but the last vestiges of humanity of Annikin Skywalker, not yet quite come to terms with his situation, his loss of humanity, his disfigurement, the loss of his wife, and indeed the end of his previous existence, and the realisation that he would have to spend the rest of his life encased in walking life-support machine.
 
In all fairness, the dialogue in the original trilogy wasn't up to much either.

Vader (after throttling the rebel): there'll be nothing to stop us now/this time!!
*I almost expected him to twirl his pantomime mouchtache and exit stage left with a swish of the curtains.

3PO to R2 in the escape pod: the damage (to the rebel ship) doesn't look so bad from here.

*Damage?? I can hardly see the star destroyer which is a LOT bigger than the rebel ship!!
Considering what's just happened, why is 3PO worrying about such an obscure matter??

Solo to rebel commander in EST: I'll see you in Hell.

*If Solo has a belief in Hell (and presumably Heaven), How does this fit in with The force??

"Delusions of grandeur" (3POs favourite phrase)
*Nice to see the French language prospering so well in a distant galaxy centuries ago! :p
 
Aneechik - I take it you are not a fan then? :)

Agree with a lot of other posters it was better than I remembered it, can't agree with one of the posters who thought Phantom was a better film tho! Oh dear..........
 
yes all of the 6 films had some bad dialogue but after A New Hope, Lucus got other people in to help write the scripts he just did the story side and this really helped a lot. In the first three he did everything himself when even Lucas knows he can't do dialogue
 
I agree 100%. It is such an amateurish work. What made me more bemused than anything was the stupid "ohos" of the droiRAB and their groans when they "die" and the ridiculous slapstick tomfoolery with R2 and the oil. All this in the first 10 minutes.

The script, never have I heard such drivel. The scenes with Padme and Annakin were terrible.
 
Is that why you called me an "armchair director" and used the smug, incredibly annoying rolleyes smiley in the Phantom Menace thread just because I don't share your enthusiasm for Vader's final scene in ROTS?

I'm sorry David, but I have seen enough films in my time by infinitely more skilled directors to recognise a stinker. If I don't like something I offer my opinion why and put forward a suggestion that would speak to me better than just some daft nooooooooo. Lucas smashed us over the head with a sledgehammer in some self admitted attempt at a Frankenstein moment complete with the monster's stumbling walk in order to show how the death of Padme affected Vader and for me it did not work.
 
George Lucas writes dialogue like a 5 year old. He thinks he's being clever but it is devoid of grammar or sense. Like when Obi Wan says to Padme

'Anakin was deceived by a lie'.

Really? Surely it should be '... deceived by a liar'?
 
Part 3 was too corny. When Windoo goes to arrest Palpatine with another 2? Jedi's
How easy did Palpatine cut them down.

The moment they had discovered he was a Sith lord, everybody would've been made aware

And Obi 1, why did you not finish Anakin off, you weak Jedi. Arghhhhhh
 
there's loaRAB of great dialogue in the originals , especially between Han-Luke-Leia .
These characters have great chemstry and are very funny .

unfortunately there's no chemistry in the PT , with Mcgregor's rotten accent , Portman's monotone droning and Christensen sleepwalking it didn't stand a chance .
 
We was having a discussion. I probably was wrong for the "roll eyes" smiley though, so I apologise for that.

I don't mind having a debate/discussion about somethings merits. But when someone comes on here simply saying "Hi George" how am I supposed to respond to that? Theres nothing in that for me to debate, they are simply being personal.

You think ROTS is stinker for the reasons you've stated. I disagree. Thats fine. Again, I'm sorry if you thought I was being personal with my earlier comments. ;)
