somedaybitchhated it. ha-TED it. Sith is arguably one of the WORST films i have ever seen. ever.
it sucked as a Star Wars film. it sucked as a feature film.
it utterly and completely sucked.
Lucas made the Wachowskis' destruction of the The Matrix universe seem like a minor continuity error by comparison.
it's a damn good thing i saw Sith for free.
a point for uniqueness to Lucas though. i think he managed to create the first full length feature film in history constructed entirely of transitions scenes. although, i don't know that i'd brag about that were i him.
stay tuned for afisking to end all fiskings review from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
themonkeycabal, up as soon as we can get the damned dsl connection at home to work. hopefully sometime tomorrow. she's been working on it since last night. it should be quite the thing of beauty.
what were the Sith taking Revenge for exactly?
a whole bunch of light sabre duels between characters that we already know survive? not so terribly exciting.
they don't have frakkin' ob-gyn's in the Republic that childbirth is suddenly a serious life threat?
you're main bad guy, arguably one of the greatest antagonists in film EVER, went to the dark side because of a DREAM? and because the Council didn't make him a master? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? what is he, 5? that's his big fall to the Dark Side? oy.
Prophecy? what Prophecy? where did this so-called Prophecy come from? and could someone please demonstrate to me how exactly the force was out of balance?
"she's lost the will to live". uhm, why? she just birthed her kids and she believes that Anakin still has good in him. that's no reason to live? wtf. way to completely eviscerate a character and make her a simpering bimbo. nice job, George.
if you're going to use the "showyness" of a pregnant woman as a way to mark the passage of time, the rest of the script shouldn't give you the impression that stuff happened in a matter of days. otherwise, Padme takes Sebacean birth speeds to a whole new level.
pearls? not comfortable on the arms of a negligee. what is your costume designer? new? /petty
so, that whole scene in Return of the Jedi where Luke asks Leah what she remembers about her mother? remember that? Leah says something like, "just...images, really. she was very beautiful. but...sad." apparently, Leah formed those memories when she was 2 or 3 seconds old.
Clones bitch that doesn't get fixed in Sith: "years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars". what clones? all i saw were robot bad guys. where were the clone bad guys? the clones were created by the Republic to battle the stupid robots in the second prequel. not so much a clone war.
and speaking of war. a trade dispute? not so much a war.
hey George? robots don't have respiratory systems. kinda makes it tough, then, to have a respiratory infection. don't ya think?
and lemme get this straight. the so-called war is ended with the destruction of the aforementioned CoughingRobotGeneral. so why in heaven's name would the senate then AGREE BY THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE to Palpatine dissolving the Republic and making an Empire? to protect them against what exactly? and why in heaven's name did the senate react that way? that was unbelievably stupid.
"i've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council permanently. the last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept away." hey George? remember that bit of dialogue? you wrote it. so, uhm, when you were writing the 6th film, did continuity and timeline not apparently mean anything to you? no? i thought not.
and while we're talking about timeline. the twins are born at the end of Sith. Ben Kenobi is easily 70 years old in A New Hope. the poor bastard aged nearly 30 years in 18? nice.
did you need to be too cheap to pay extras to be Stormtroopers? would it have killed you to put some actual people in your films?
and finally, what kind of pansy-ass whimps are these Jedi Masters that they can't detect a bunch of clone allies suddenly turning murderous? they're the defenders of the Republic? no wonder it fell.
it sucked as a Star Wars film. it sucked as a feature film.
it utterly and completely sucked.
