FWIW, I posted this earlier today on FE, in response to someone who called ROTS a “great movie.”
My wife and I just watched ROTS last night. We watched L8wrtr’s version (there’s no way anyone in my house is allowed to watch the original). It’s not a good movie. There are some good bits, and some great ideas, but the execution is terrible. The dialogue is bad. Half the movie looks like a video game. The Jedi are absolute morons (my wife complained about this endlessly). Yoda jumps around with a lightsaber like he’s got a lit firecracker in his ass. Ian is generally very good but in the final fight with Yoda he cackles the scenery (rather than chewing it) way past the point of insanity. Hayden is out-acted by the few sets they actually built. I could go on but I’m just getting more and more depressed as I type.
