Wow, I actually agree with this comment about Revenge of the Sith ... though, um, not at all with the same sentiment ShiftyEyes posted with:

While watching it, there's a mood of constant doom that you can't shake off. It's like a nightmare. You know things are going to go down a slippery slope full of unimaginable horrors, and the worst thing about it is you can't wake up. You have no choice but to be subjected to it. That's the feeling I get out of the movie.

Yep, one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Like a descent into hell and a nightmare from which I could not escape.

The only Star Wars movie I never bothered to own, or to watch again past my initial theatrical experiences of horror (I gave it three chances, but it failed to emerge from complete suckitude).

I'll grant Sith one boon - - - it made Phantom Menace look like frelling Citizen Kane to me in comparison.



The only way the PT works as part of a saga is as a backstory only hazily remembered, thus perhaps accounting for the many ways it fails to relate to the real Star Wars saga, both logically, and thematically. But I prefer not to consider it as part of the "saga" at all. Greater lameness cannot be iimagined by me.
