Sith down and shut the fuck up

[]    moving pictures : 26. May 2005, 14:46   

Most everything that wasn’t Ian McDairmid—a few other scenes worked too—in Revenge of the Sith was pants. Utter pants. Horrible acting, horrible lines, and… the script? Don’t know where to start. It’s a mess. A gooey mess of mouldy youghurt and not delicious pudding.

I mean, Yoda know kung-fu? Yoda? The green pacifistic fellow? Really. It’s not like they would have had a hard time trying to stick with the continuity. But then I guess they’d even have to try and that would have been bad because, hey, they got all these different Yoda-toys to sell.

(No Boo, I can live with the errors had it only been entertaining. Sure I laughed, but for the wrong reasons. it’s not about the small things, the big picture doesn’t work either.)

It also felt rushed, which was oddly surprising considering that there were some serious padding in it. George Lucas is like Ben Affleck—seems to be cool in person but shouldn’t be let near a movie-set.

So, no. It’s a horrible movie in any way you choose to look at it. No matter what Kevin Smith says. Unless of course you like movies such as Double Dragon or Street Fighter or Wing Commander.

  2. Well, actually, I do agree that the big picture didn’t work. For me, it was a disappointment and, with a few exceptions, a bad movie. But in the end we still seem to come from to very different places.

  3. And I’m not just talking about Växjö/Ryssy. Although, that is also true.

  4. There is a Kevin Smith-thing in the new issue of Uncut, by the way. Don´t know what, but his name appeared.

  5. Boo: well, to be fait we actually seem to agree on the whole why the movies doesn’t work and what’s good in it. It’s just the the tiny details that differ—like over continuity and shit.
