The Episode III Rotten Tomatoes Scale

I don't think all those rotten ones are rotten either astrofan

damn, rolling stone has some of the most respected writers in the business: very sad to see peter travers give revenge a 2/5...i mean, you can read all the great internet reviews you want, but its the major magazines and newspapers that the majority of the public reads...bummer...

AH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It went down to 86%

Okay, how the hell does this scale work?

Yesterday was 86% with 30 fresh and 5 rotten.

Since then there have been 3 more fresh and 1 rotten, yet the score went down to 85%.

😆

...It's too bad that playing the grotesque Darth Sideous, Palpatine's Sith lord alter ego, drives the actor into horror-show hamboning.

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

That's a pretty funny line. Eventhough he is bashing RotS.

I think People may actually be realizing that SW has never really relied on amazing acting abilities. Listen to any actor from SW and all of them have said it was "less than Stellar" work. Liam Neeson said it, so did Alec Guinness. Natalie portman and Harrison Ford have strongly hinted at it with thier minute enthusiasm for the series. Even many performances from Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill in other fims have been more or less "wooden".

SW has always been a B-movie that got popular, with unknowns and a plethora of B-movie actors.

In a lot ways there are similarities between the 2 trilogies.

1 or 2 well knowns: Sam Jackson, Alec Guiness

1 actor that is a long term success: Harrison Ford, and most likely Ewan Mcgregor.

Whoa...80%...what is wrong with these people?

Revenge of the Sith is not the "masterpiece" some make it out to be. It is, simply, a far more worthy installment than we've recently been fed.

I think that may well be the truth. ANH was AWESOME in it's day there is no way ROTS can match the impact that ANH had

Wow, these ratings took a sudden dive in the last couple days. 😑

Wow. Its really gone down. Stupid people.

Sorry, just had to complain about the "1 or 2 well knowns" comment. Just Sam Jackson?

What about Natalie Portman? Oscar nominee?

Jimmy Smits?

Christopher Lee?

Liam Neeson?

Terence Stamp?

Hey, even Keira Knightley and Sofia Coppola.

Please don't try to tell me they aren't well known (okay, Sofia and Keira had bit parts, sorry.)

down to 81% now...

Back up to 83% and on this page they have a Star Wars special thing.

It also lists the following tomato reviews for all films.

STAR WARS TOMATOMETER LIST
Fresh: 83% Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith 2005
Fresh: 65% Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones 2002
Fresh: 62% Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace 1999
Fresh: 80% Return of the Jedi 1983
Fresh: 98% Empire Strikes Back The 1980
Fresh: 93% Star Wars 1977

So all the films have been rated fresh.

Well at least its better than ep1 and ep2.

🙄 Which were also STILL rated fresh. 😛 As they should have been.

Yep, I think most of the bad reviews for ep3 are from stupid people like new yorker that hate all SW films.

Wait, I was lookig at the bad reviews, why is 2.5/4 and 3/5 considered bad?

Yeah this thing is so wierd, how can 1 bad review take it down 3 or 4 points yet 4 or 5 good reviews dont change anything?

So illogical...

Dont trust that shit its just a bunch of bull shit to make fans hate star wars believe me
