- Revenge of the Sith - bad plot, bad acting, bad dialogue, bad cinematography, bad compositing, bad CGI. The only remotely interesting thing is the scene where Vader is burning alive.
I mean… I have no issues with it being your least favourite Star Wars film if that’s your opinion, but your reasons for it being the worst seem a bit hypocritical don’t they? I’ll preface this by saying I love the PT, but if we’re talking about objective qualities in the films…
I don’t think we’re talking about “objective” qualities, I mean at least the stuff I wrote were my opinions, which by definition are subjective.
bad acting
I truly do not understand how AOTC can be ranked higher on your list.
Speaking subjectively, when I watch AOTC I see characters. When I watch ROTS I see actors trying to pretend they give a f*** about what’s going on.
bad dialogue
I truly do not understand how AOTC can be ranked higher on your list.
Well the AOTC dialogue doesn’t make me laugh. When I watched ROTS for the last time I was laughing the whole time, including scenes which are meant to be dramatic.
bad cinematography
I truly do not understand how AOTC can be ranked higher on your list.
AOTC used at least some sets, even though many (or most?) of them had at least some digital set extensions. There is not a single scene in ROTS which looks real. All of it looks like video game cutscenes with poorly composited actors.
bad CGI
I truly do not understand how AOTC can be ranked higher on your list.
I used to watch all of the “making of” documentaries on DVDs and TV specials and that kind of stuff. There was one of them many years ago, where the “talking head” said something that the sad thing about their work (he was from the effects department) is that if they do their work correctly, nobody will ever notice that they have actually done anything, or something in that matter. In other words, if I know in a scene what is real and what is CG, it immediately takes me out of the movie. In again another words, if the CGI effects don’t look real or at least blend perfectly with the rest of the scene, it’s bad CGI. Example of good CGI in recent Star Wars movies - the starships in Rogue One.
I love AOTC but the acting, dialogue, cinematography, CGI, etc. ain’t exactly great.
I agree, I wouldn’t call any of it great, but in my opinion all of these things are done better in AOTC than in ROTS.
In fact I see most people, even those who don’t like ROTS, say it’s visually the best of the three, if not the second best.
I know, and I can’t understand it. But I don’t have to understand everything.
