The main thing that gets me about ROTS though, is a lot of the CGI. Too many times I could pick out where they had opted for CGI characters or whatever and it distracted me from the actual story. Theres parts in almost all the duels that have a bad CGI area, or bad scripting, or bad acting that lets down the feel of it. And then the love scenes, damn, even Harry Potter had better love scenes, and they were just teenagers acting!
It felt like GL was concentrating more on giving fans an eye candy filled 2 hours, than actually paying attention to what we were supposed to be looking for in the story. When you look at minor problems like Palpatine and Obi Wan/Anakin switching sabers mid-fight, although they are picky problems, they shouldnt even be there in the first place. If GL has to rewrite his script while shooting to make the story sound better, or whatever, and doesnt clean up problems, he's not doing it properly.
GL kept changing his script so much to accomodate new ideas, his story was chopped up and let down. None of the other blockbusters felt like this.
Bloody hell Im ranting way too much.

I love Star Wars, but for me other movies top ROTS this year.
Sure Star Wars made more money, but that's because of the fanbase. Personally I saw it 3 times in theaters and wanted to see it there more.
Just because I don't think ROTS is movie of the year doesn't make me, or Ast any less fans of Star Wars. If you were a true fan, you'd love the OT better than the PT anyways. wanker
Oh what can I say, the real movie fans have come out to play. I officially love Mist again (nothing sexual i assure yee!).
I agree with everything that Mist, Ast and others said.
However I must condem I do not like being called a PT hater. That is rather pathetic I must say.
I would rather the PT had never been made but only to the benefit of hindsight. Given the opportunity to give my opinions before TPM if a 'PT' should be made, I would have said yes. However on the other side of this, if the PT had never been made, some interesting EU literature wouldn't have been written).
And as I have always looked at OT simply as films, I looked at the PT the same way and what I saw disappointed me. Not to say I didn't enjoy and like bits of the films, the casting choices and the art and design, as I said earlier if you read, but it wasn't worth 27 years to wait.
Agreed.
I enjoy all of the starwars movies as one story,of which ESB and ROTS are my favorite parts.
I saw alot of good movies this year, Cinderella Man was one, Good Night and Good Luck was another. Syriana was so/so, but I couldn't stop grinning through Zathura(good movie, highly underrated)
Narnia was probably my second favorite this year, War of the Worlds was...ok, I guess.
I concur with InfineDY:
Batman Begins was a BETTER movie, with better acting, and more character devolpement...., but I LIKED Ep3 more. 😄

Serenity was much better than any of the SW PT films. I suggest you take a look at it if you don't say the PT is amazing because its Star Wars, as i have heard many say.It was only out in the cinema for like 3 weeks but is well worth the price for the dvd.
Holy Hannah are you kidding me? 😑 I rented it because I didnt get to see it at the theater and I had heard good things about it, but that movie was NOT good. It was only marginally worth watching and in NO way better than any of the PT. I cant even fathom that you feel tht way.

Simply because it is a better film.
Serenity was cool, good enough to make me want to rent the tv show dvd.
I liked that they used real guns in it, I liked the reavers, and I REALLY liked the rebels fighting against an evil, oppressing government. 😛
Seriously though, it aint better than the PT, not even TPM.
Check out that same dvd's special features and you'll hear Joss Whedon reference Starwars a couple times. 😄
Well said Exanda. 🙂
And I do look at it for which is a better movie, just like I know that Braveheart, Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, Passion of the Christ, and anything directed by Quentin Tarrantino are better movies than starwars (at least, the PT).
I like serenity. I said so.
I like ROTS better, because (I think) it is a better movie.
I guess we'll let the people form their own opinions and decide... oh, wait a minute...
😈
Hmm...it must be said that RotS does come close to Serentiy, and SW will always get the bigger recognition because it reinvented all sci-fi for others to follow...
....but RotS was bound by the limitations of the PT whereas Serenity was able to start afresh.
In my opinion Serenity is better than any PT movie on it's own and better than TPM and AotC put together. But then i didn't think Serenity was the best movie of the year, it was good but there were some great films out this year such as....
Batman Begins, which although not the best movie of the year, finally gave batman some justice. I loved Sideways, an incredibly hilarious film although not too everyone's tastes. King Kong was also great for obvious reasons although the first hour did bore the hell out of me.
Agreed again. 🙂 At least about the other movies this year.
But Sideways came out last year. 😄
Revenge of the Sith was the movie I liked the most this year, even if it wasn't the best.
I think (as I said, at great lengths earlier
😉 ) that most people felt that way, and that's why it won People's Choice for best movie.
Still dont understand how it got best drama 😂
