Yeah, I'm tempted to link you to Nostalgia Critic's Top 11 Disney Villains video for a primer. They have some pretty creepy baddies. And, yes, Grievous just... sucks. I can't find words to describe how much I hate that character. He annoyed me from the first second he got on the screen, and when Obi-Wan finally killed him, it felt like a boulder had been lifted from the plot. Hell, that's probably the reason he was in there in the first place. The rest of ROTS felt brilliant in comparison after Grievous left it. So unncessary, so annoying, and I'm relatively slow to criticize a movie. I actually don't mind Jar-Jar Binks in the least. But General Grievous was... beyond horrible. His function sucked. His voice was grating. His personality was annoying. He lived way too long and accomplished way too little. I know I'm ranting, but I usually don't, and I just managed to remind myself how I felt when I first saw the movie. He's my absolute least favorite character. Not in Star Wars, but in all fiction everywhere.
