I just got back and I'm disappointed as hell (as well as very tired). Sith is slightly better than the previous prequels, but it doesn't make up for the damage those films did.

So many problems ... too many to count tonight. But here's a brief list:

* Padme's death just sucked.

* Anyone notice how Padme's pregnant stomach kept expanding and contracting throughout the film? Some moments she was really full, and then right before she gave birth her tummy was totally flat in profile.

* Grievous ... stupid name; stupid character. He was better in the cartoon.

* The fact Ben just left Anakin behind to suffer in agony ... how inhumane! Man, the Jedi kinda suck.

* Why did Yoda give up so easily against the emperor? Because he lost his robe?

* R2D2 could have gotten out of dozens of scrapes in the first three films if he had half of the abilities and gadgets seen in Sith. And C3PO ... did he really deserve a memory wipe?



I will NOT see this film again in a theatre. It's long and boring ... the fight scenes go on too long to sit through in a theatre. I'll give this another shot when it hits DVD ... first as a rental. So this will be the first Star Wars film I haven't seen at least three times in a theatre.
