lol Yeah, that's how I feel about ROTS. You said how each new prequel (AOTC and ROTS) was worse than your expectations and each one was worse than the last, or something like that. That's how it was for me. I like TPM in some ways, even though it has horrible faults and is not anything up to the standard of the real Star Wars films, but I expected something on that level for AOTC and I was disappointed because AOTC sucked bigtime and then when I expected something on AOTC's level for ROTS what I got was distinctly worse than that.
I went along with things with TPM, but when I saw AOTC I knew the prequel trilogy was screwed. After that, I pretty much didn't want to bother seeing the next one. Of course I did see the next one and it blew my mind with how incredibly awful it was.

No redeemable substance is a good description. The film is lacking any emotional depth whatsoever. There's no real substance there. And the whole thing is pretty damn irredeemable. I'm still trying to figure out how Lucas managed to make it that bad.
