| TruckOSaurus said: I'm surprised at how many put Revenge of the Sith as their favorite. I was very disappointed in the way they handled Anakin's turn to the dark side. It wasn't convincing: that stupid dream, the so obvious bullshit spouted by Palpatine and the complete instant turnaround from "I'm a good guy" to "I'm killing children". Also the battle between Obi Wan and Anakin is overdrawn and at somes points ridiculous (like when they hop on the lava harvesting droids). |
Totally agree. One could argue that Anakin's turn to the dark side is the most important event in the entire saga, and they totally blew it. Not convincing at all. Also, it always struck me as strange that Anakin was able to dispatch Dooku with zero trepidation, then spent the next 90 minutes debating whether or not to embrace his darker feelings.
Also agree on the fight scene. Ever since the prequel trilogy was announced, the one scene I wanted to see more than any other was the fight between Anakin and Ben, and it was so disappointing in the end. The scene between Prowse and Guinness in IV was significantly better, and that was done with a few special effects shots and some very basic choreography. But it was better because it focused more on the emotion of the duel and less on the spectacle of the duel.
