It's been months since I lasted posted here on Chefelf and I apologize for that. I just didn't have anything to say until now.
I finally got Star Wars Episode III on DVD (Which is apparently the only format it's going to be released in) after all this time and I finally watched it. I got all sorts of 'reasons to hate' brewing up and I'll share those with you shortly, but not now for now, though. I will give my general impression of the movie in the following sentence.
Incoherance, illogical, nonexistant plot and general boringness is the sentense I would use to describe it for the time being. I'll go into details with the reasons in a day or so.
As you all might remember, I've been stating more nearly a year and half (or more if I'm not mistaken) that I would be having my Star Wars marathon as soon as this event happens and I will. This weekend I'll start a thread announcing my beginning and I'll post in it when I'm done with the marathon. I'll give my final views on Star Wars before I give my mourn and cease being a Star Wars fan in its entirety. I will still occasionally post on this forum, though, but not in the Star Wars folder. I've done enough criticism and ranting already!

I guess one aspect of being a 'mature' viewer is that one feels an apathy that many would called 'stoicness' when watching these movies. You know they're bad, and you know that you hate them, but at the same time you're indifferent to this badness both on the inside and out. It's only a movie, after all, and I have to get the fanatical loyality out for a change. One day I'm going to make my own sci-fi world to write stories in and I think it'll replace the Star Wars universe for me.

If there was a "single" positive about ROTS, it's that it wasn't boring. Some of the scenes may have been absolutely ridiculous, but they weren't boring. I've watched it seven times now, and I'm always entertained while watching it.

It could have been dog puke and it would have qualified as a great moment in star wars history.
If the Earth gets hit tomorrow by a comet, you have to admit it would be a great moment in the planet's history.
But in a crazy way I admire your misguided enthusiasm. Misguided because Star Wars was So very much better when it first came out and like it or not, (GL included) you can't go home again.

you know what... i have to admit, you're right.
i think all three movies suck major ass, but the one thing that elevates e3 over the other two is that stuff actually happened in it.
it isn't boring.
i still don't like it, but i wouldn't call it boring. where's jariten... he might actually enjoy me saying that.
