Welcome to the VGChartz STAR WARS Tournament!
Feel free to discuss the episode after rating. DO NOT EDIT YOUR SCORE. This is a competition which Kantor and I are hosting in celebration of what many (with good taste) feel is the greatest fim franchise in history! There will be a thread on every other day, beginning with The Phantom Menace, and going right up to Return of the Jedi... and perhaps beyond. The average rating for each episode will be based on the scores given by users in these threads, and it will be fun to see which episode is most popular here on VGChartz. Rankings So Far: 1) Episode 1: The Phantom Menace 2) Episode 2: Attack of the Clones ______________________________
Today's movie is : STAR WARS EPISODE 3 : Revenge Of The Sith Warning: Synopsis May Contain Spoilers. It is three years after the Clone Wars. The leader of the droid army, General Grievous, has captured Chancellor Palpatine on board his ship, the Invisible Hand. Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker must fly through Coruscant safely, and enter the Invisible Hand so that they can rescue the captive Chancellor. Just when Palpatine is about to be released, Count Dooku shows up. Obi-Wan and Anakin both battle it out with him, but Obi-Wan ends up unconscious. Anakin slices off his head and kills him. Anakin carries Obi-Wan, and Palpatine follows him. They meet General Grievous face to face, and Anakin tries to fly the last half of the ship so that they can safely land on Coruscant. Later, Palpatine starts acting strange, constantly manipulating Anakin into believing that the Jedi Council is against him. Eventually, it is found out that he is the Dark Lord of the Sith. Jedi Master Mace Windu fights him.....and thus begins the end of the Jedi, end of the republic, the revenge of the sith and of course the rise of the Galactic Empire. Worldwide Gross - $848 Million American Gross- $380 Million Rest Of The World Gross - $468 Million Fun Fact -- To date "Revenge Of The Sith" remains the only Star Wars movie out of both trilogies to see a rise in box office collections over the last film. Episode 5 declined in box office collections compared to 4 and as did 6 compared to 5. Then Episode 2 declined in box office collections compared to Episode 1, but for the first time in the history of the series Episode 3 didn't decline in box office collections, but rose is box office collections, that too by around $200 Million....which is a big figure in terms of a rise between 1 iteration of a movie to another. Critical Reception: Rotten Tomatoes: 80% Positive Reviews (Fresh) Metacritic: 68% Review Average (Generally Favourable)....remember metacritic for movies/games is different, hardly any movies get over 80% metacritic let alone 90%.... _____________ Rules: - ONLY Rate the Episode you need to rate today. - Give a rating out 10. Feel free to use decimals. - Try to justify your score, whether it is a 10, 1, or anything in between. - Do not belittle or insult anyone else's opinions - Only talk about Episode 2 and its positive/negative aspects in this thread....this is not a thread for you to come in, insult prequels and run away.
