movie critique

My husband and I went out for dinner on Friday. We stopped at a local grocery that has a video rental attached and we rented two movies. Watched Star Wars, Revenge of the Sith. BOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIING. AND BAD!!!! AND the lousiest acting I've seen in like forever!!!!!!! The ending was CHEESY.

First let us review the total lack of emotion (actually the only emotion I saw was from Yoda and his face doesn't change but it was there in his voice). Nothing was believable. Nothing. The bad guy pleading for his life, then killing the good Jedi - blech. Bad acting, not believable. Of course the other Jedi is standing there with is finger up his nose - not literally but if it were it would have been better than what was presented. Supposedly he would do anything to save his wife - and says it like he's ordering a glass of water. Then the bad guy sends him off to the Jedi Temple - at least they didn't show him killing the children. Oh, wait. They call them the younglings. I suppose that's to make it less horrendous. Then Obi Kanobe describes it like the bad Jedi took a walk in the park and pissed on a tree in public. I get more emotion from the grapefruit sitting on my counter.

The ending was absolutely priceless. Here's this little thing of a woman who dies because she has no will to live because her Jedi husband has turned to the dark side. OH MY GOD! Talk about your stereotypical little woman syndrome. Now mind you, this is the same woman who can weild a light saber in the previous movie killing clones right and left, not to mention going behind enemy lines for the sake of her country!!!! Give me a freakin break!!! Had they turned this woman into a warm pile of cow manure, it would have been more believable than the role they gave her in this movie.

Then this same woman supposedly delivers TWINS - did I mention that just before this she trots out of a space ship and skips down the ramp. Yeah, that's freakin believable. The twins they pop out of her aren't this little teenee weenee babies - heck no. They both look around 7 or 8 pounds. To all the women in the world who have had even tiny babies, does the word waddle have any meaning????? They've got her on this table, about to deliver, and this mound looks like she's got a freaking mosquito bite on her belly.

By the time this movie was over I was silently cheering for the doggone Sith. And as bad guys, they were about as effective as limp spaghetti. I will tell you this - it's a good thing they showed the first three movies of Star Wars first because if they'd used this movie as a jump-off point to others, there would have been a dirth of movie goers.
